The designers decided to take Hana Nitsche, Fiona Erdmann and Milla von Krockow.

Wendler selected Mandy Graff, Michaela Gräfin "Milla" von Krockow, and Aneta Tober. Wendler later complained the video left her with bruising from pretending to play guitar all day.
The contestants shot a television commercial for an online dating agency. They each were dressed as a fairy princess for the ad in which they found a frog, and gave him a kiss. Frustrated when he didn't turn into a prince, they angrily demanded he do so, insisting he wanted to. The commercial was not shot in one continuous take. At this point, so as to avoid cruelty, the real frog was swapped for a fake frog. Then shooting resumed, as the model tossed the fake frog down in frustration at the end of the commercial. Denise Dahinten was clumsy during the shoot. She also wanted a lot of reassurance from the director, to the point of neediness and requesting a hug. Heidi was on the set and witnessed this behavior. Dahinten was eliminated at the end of this episode.

The spot received a lot of airplay a few weeks later. The contestants' parents surprised their daughters by making a visit. Hana Nitsche's boyfriend made a bad joke by pretending not to come but then arriving later on. Nitsche was not amused unlike her boyfriend who laughed a lot and apparently enjoyed having teased her.

to participate in a casting for the Thai fashion label Fly Now. Five of the seven contestants were allowed to walk the runway which was placed in a calf-high swimming pool. The designer chose Anja Platzer and Fiona Erdman not to walk along with the others. The next day the contestants travelled to Los Angeles

All of the contestants then participated in a casting with Christian Audigier
, designer of the successfully rising fashion label Ed Hardy
. Hana Nitsche, Mandy Graff and Barbara Meier were chosen to walk the runway at a well visited fashion show. This week's photo shoot demanded a great deal of the contestants as they had to pose like superhero
es knotted with ropes between house walls of Los Angeles. Contestant Fiona Erdman later peached on Mandy Graff and Hana Nitsche as she stated they sometimes considered to leave the competition. Erdmann then obviously lost many viewers' sympathies regarding internet polls and surveys. The judges's problem child Anja Platzer finally had to leave the show as they could not find enough enhancements regarding her achievements all over the show.
For this week's photo shoot, the contestants had to go the full monty as their bodies were covered only by body color during a body painting session at the Malibu Beach. Runway coach Bruce Darnell
forced the girls to find foot passengers in Hollywood's
Rodeo Drive
to argue them into a photo shoot for which they had to imitate film posters.

Wendler and Hana Nitsche began to backbite – Fiona Erdmann being the victim. When Erdmann tried to talk things out Nitsche evaded the issue.

They are relieved to find out afterwards that the journalists were actors. At the judging, the girls have to walk in both pret-a-porter and haute couture clothes. Mandy Graff is eliminated.
Though officially described as “live ” the finale was recorded in the afternoon of May 24 and shown at 20.15 PM the same day.

Their first live challenge was a bikini-themed catwalk and another one with old-fashioned dresses. Shortly after that, last week's photos were shown to the audience.
