Germany's Next Topmodel

The 50 chosen semifinalists are invited to Schladming where they have to achieve a world record in highheels walking on a treadmill for 90 minutes. Being concerned about her feet, Joana withdraws after a few minutes much to the unsatisfaction of new judge Thomas Hayo. After the record is broken and a first live walk in front of the judges, 15 girls are cut. In their first challenge, the girls have to impress a mass audience on a sky-location Ke$ha concert in order to perform with her on stage. At the second judging, the girls have to walk on a runway above a swimming pool where 24 more contestants are eliminated. After learning that she was diagnosed with lymph node cancer, Melek withdraws from the competition a few days after accessing to the new round.

The 25 remaining semifinalists are taken to London. On their first challenge a group of five girls is each put in a phonebooth for a claustrophobic photoshoot where Sarah is recognized for her aggressive behaviour towards her fellow competitors. Jana, Isabel, and Aleksandra are declared the winners and get to walk in Berlin Fashion Week for judge Thomas Rath's newest show. Seven of the remaining girls receive makeovers and a trick is played on Amelie who was told to go bald after she volunteered to shave her hair. Two beauty shoots are contacted with pre-and-post makeover removement where Heidi notices Jil's skin problems. The weekly runway challenge is taking place in a church where the girls have to walk in sexy bride outfits which Sarah refuses as she fears a bad reaction from her Christian school. Chiara-Isabell gets eliminated for not being ready to perform well in the competition yet just like Lilia, who's elimination is not shown in the episode. In the end, the 23 remaining girls continue in the competition.

Christien was eliminated shortly after their arrival in America because the judges think that she hasn't improved herself at all after weeks. At their week's photoshoot the contastents have to pose in a high-Voltage Electric-Box while laughing a lot.
