| ShortSummary = Out of 18.217 applicants, 120 girls from all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland came to Cologne to convince the judges of their qualities as Germany's next top model. The young women had to walk the runway either in a favourite outfit or bathing suit. Moreover, they undertook small challenges: Some had to sing, dance or scream in wrath, others were told to advertise a shampoo or even expose the preferences of a cleansing agent for toilets. Meanwhile, the other contestants had to show three different emotions (anger, pain, and happiness) in a one-minute photo shoot.


The judges narrowed down the competition to fifty girls, who flew to Barcelona in a surprise trip the next morning. They were booked for the ''BREAD & BUTTER – tradeshow for selected brands'' festival on 16 January 17 January, and 18 January 2008. The show was presented by Phillipp Plein, a well-known designer, on the same evening. As most of the girls had not been very experienced in doing a runway show, some of them had severe problems on the catwalk which lead to several pitiable sights. In the end thirty girls reached the next round.

| ShortSummary = The 19 finalists are taken to their first destination in Austria to do a photo shoot in front of a helicopter. However, before that judge Rolf Scheider reports about several complaints by the hotel organisation about how the girls left their rooms and asks the abusers to reveal themselves in front of the entire group. Gisele, Sarah and Gina-Lisa admit to having smoked in the rooms but who has drunk all the alcohol from the mini-bar remains a secret. Scheider promises consequences for everyone.


At the photo shoot several girls have trouble with the wind like Gina-Lisa whose dress is constantly soaring up leaving her underwear visible for several moments but its Gisele who's taken most of the attention due to being afraid of helicopters. Back in Germany the girls finally arrive at the model house but as a result of none of them admitting having drunk the alcohol yet, they are taken back to a youth hostel as a punishment for the entire group. One day later they are finally allowed to stay in the luxurious building but it's the first house meeting, organized by Gisele, Katharina and Aisha, that is causing new trouble. Several girls accuse each other of being responsible for a bad atmosphere, and Gisele accuses Aline of having called Gina-Lisa a prostitute. The meeting ends without any constructive result when Gisele bursts out into tears because the group surrounding Aline is calling her a liar.
The judges narrowed down the competition to fifty girls, who flew to Barcelona in a surprise trip the next morning. They were booked for the ''BREAD & BUTTER – tradeshow for selected brands'' festival on [[January 16]], [[January 17]], and [[January 18]], [[2008]]. The show was presented by Phillipp Plein, a well-known designer, in the same evening. As most of the girls had not been very experienced in doing a runway show, some of them had severe problems on the catwalk which lead to several pitiable sights. In the end 30 girls reached the next round.


On elimination day the girls have to do a runway walk in front of the judges while keeping an egg on a spoon in their mouth. While hearing her criticism, Katharina is asked by the judges who was bitching the most in the house, and as she states its Tainá both girls are happy to have a chat in front of the panel which is interrupted by Heidi after seeing no signs of results coming up from that. Outside the room Katharina is accused by the other girls for being a snitch and another argument between the two parties begins. The episode ends with a cliffhanger once again, the first time being [[Germany's Next Topmodel season#ep11|season 2's episode 11]]. The elimination process is completely cut from the episode but a preview showed a few seconds of the following week's episode.

In March 2023 former judge Peyman Armin apologized to Lijana Kaggwa for what she had to experience on Germany's Next Topmodel. He also apologized for being part of Germany's Next Topmodel and promised to never take part in the show again. All of this was broadcast in the format "13 questions" on [[ZDF]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 March 2023 |title=GNTM &#124; Nach Kritik: Überraschende Entschuldigung von Jury-Mitglied |url=https://www.tvmovie.de/news/gntm-nach-kritik-ueberraschende-entschuldigung-von-jury-mitglied-131808}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=GNTM, Miss Germany & Co.: Schluss mit Schönheitswettbewerben?

In March 2023 [[BILD]] published the following message: "If the contestants get along too well, they will receive instructions from the crew to argue and produce beef." The participating contestants are also too young and inexperienced and cannot assess the extent of the show.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tracy schmeißt bei GNTM hin: So hart geht es in der Show wirklich zu |url=https://www.bild.de/video/clip/video/tracy-schmeisst-bei-gntm-hin-so-hart-geht-es-in-der-show-wirklich-zu-83245510.bild.html}}</ref>

In April 2023, Heidi Klum said about everything that happens at Germany's Next Topmodel: "At the end of the day I'm the boss and I make the rules!"<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 April 2023 |title="Germany's Next Topmodel": "Am Ende des Tages bin ich der Boss und ich bestimme die Regeln!" - WELT |url=https://www.welt.de/iconist/partnerschaft/article244677756/Germany-s-Next-Topmodel-Am-Ende-des-Tages-bin-ich-der-Boss-und-ich-bestimme-die-Regeln.html}}</ref>

In June 2023, the German TV broadcaster [[ZDF]] released a 70-minute investigative documentary about the machinations of the makers of Germany's Next Topmodel called "Pressure, hatred, manipulation: how sick does Germany's Next Topmodel make you?". For this documentary, around 50 former contestants, judges and members of the show's crew were interviewed, some anonymously. The makers of the documentary admitted that they are familiar with difficult investigations, but they have never experienced it before that so many people were afraid to talk about what happened as these former participants and employees of Germany's Next Topmodel. A crew member of the show who wished to remain anonymous is quoted as saying: "If you film a young woman from morning to night, you'll get every sectional image you want. So you can cut and tell what you want. A lot of things are cut together wildly. The jobs depend on it. It's about ratings." In addition, former contestants report how the show's editors deliberately foment manipulation, lies and discord among the contestants behind the scenes. The contestants are shielded from the outside world so they lose their nerve and argue. So 20 candidates have to sleep together in one room without contact to the outside world. The statements by [[Heidi Klum]], the broadcasting TV station [[Pro7]] and the production company are presented as hypocrisy. Pro7 is said to have earned 87 million euros with the [[Germany's Next Topmodel (season 18)|Season 18]], and Heidi Klum 10 million euros. The contestants receive no money. Germany's Next Topmodel has driven some contestants into depression and suicidal thoughts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 June 2023 |title="Druck, Hass, Manipulation" bei GNTM: Models packen über Klum-Show aus |url=https://www.t-online.de/unterhaltung/stars/id_100199202/gntm-mit-druck-hass-manipulation-models-ueber-heidi-klums-show-.html}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=3 July 2023 |title=Schwere Vorwürfe gegen GNTM?

The young women had to walk the runway either in a favourite outfit or bathing suit. Moreover, they undertook small challenges: Some had to sing, dance or scream in wrath, others were told to advertise a shampoo or even expose the preferences of a cleansing agent for toilets. Meanwhile, the other contestants had to show three different emotions (anger, pain, and happiness) in a one-minute photo shoot.

The judges narrowed down the competition to fifty girls, who flew to Barcelona in a surprise trip the next morning. They were booked for the BREAD & BUTTER – tradeshow for selected brands festival on 16 January 17 January, and 18 January 2008. The show was presented by Phillipp Plein, a well-known designer, on the same evening. As most of the girls had not been very experienced in doing a runway show, some of them had severe problems on the catwalk which lead to several pitiable sights. In the end thirty girls reached the next round.

3"Erster Zoff im Modelhaus"13 March 2008 (2008-03-13)

The 19 finalists are taken to their first destination in Austria to do a photo shoot in front of a helicopter. However, before that judge Rolf Scheider reports about several complaints by the hotel organisation about how the girls left their rooms and asks the abusers to reveal themselves in front of the entire group. Gisele, Sarah and Gina-Lisa admit to having smoked in the rooms but who has drunk all the alcohol from the mini-bar remains a secret. Scheider promises consequences for everyone.

At the photo shoot several girls have trouble with the wind like Gina-Lisa whose dress is constantly soaring up leaving her underwear visible for several moments but its Gisele who's taken most of the attention due to being afraid of helicopters. Back in Germany the girls finally arrive at the model house but as a result of none of them admitting having drunk the alcohol yet, they are taken back to a youth hostel as a punishment for the entire group. One day later they are finally allowed to stay in the luxurious building but it's the first house meeting, organized by Gisele, Katharina and Aisha, that is causing new trouble. Several girls accuse each other of being responsible for a bad atmosphere, and Gisele accuses Aline of having called Gina-Lisa a prostitute. The meeting ends without any constructive result when Gisele bursts out into tears because the group surrounding Aline is calling her a liar.

On elimination day the girls have to do a runway walk in front of the judges while keeping an egg on a spoon in their mouth. While hearing her criticism, Katharina is asked by the judges who was bitching the most in the house, and as she states its Tainá both girls are happy to have a chat in front of the panel which is interrupted by Heidi after seeing no signs of results coming up from that. Outside the room Katharina is accused by the other girls for being a snitch and another argument between the two parties begins. The episode ends with a cliffhanger once again, the first time being season 2's episode 11. The elimination process is completely cut from the episode but a preview showed a few seconds of the following week's episode.

  • Featured photographer: Kristian Schuller
  • Guest judge: Kristian Schuller
4"Haare ab"20 March 2008 (2008-03-20)

Last week's elimination is shown at the very beginning of this episode. Rubina is eliminated due to the inability to express her personality in a photo shoot. Heidi Klum tells Aisha that she has a lot of potential but the judges don't think they are able to bring out the best in her, so she is sent home as well. The judges panel also decides to send Sandra home because her under achievements hamper the progress of the show.

The remaining contestants go to a salon for their makeovers. Gina-Lisa and Wanda, however, complain throughout the entire process. Lohfink is upset in large part because she does not want to have her long white weave cut short. Badwal cries about her hair loss.

Afterwards the contestants are taken to a fashion store where they have to pick outfits that match their new haircut. Once again Lohfink draws everybody's attention by wrapping herself up in ten articles of clothing. – She is certain that she is allowed to keep everything she wears. Gisele and Sarah are chosen as the challenge's winners. They get to choose a complete outfit for free.

The girls then visit the tanzhaus nrw where personal coach Dr. Stefan Fredrich encourages them to talk about themselves in front of the group. Oppermann reveals being bullied in the past by her schoolmates and breaks down once again in front of the group just like some other girls.

Eight contestants are given the chance to audition for the leading role in a C&A shoes television commercial; Janina wins the modelling job.

For the week's photo shoot, the girls have to pose in pairs. Each girl is representing the opposite to her partner. Carolin and Jennifer are safe from elimination and get a business class ticket for the plane that will move the contestants to their new home in New York City.

At judging, Aline is called out for not satisfying the judges' expectation concerning her photo, while Tainá Silva is criticized for her lack of potential. Both girls are eliminated.

The remaining 14 contestants start their journey in New York with attending different castings for the currently running New York Fashion Week. Janina finds herself in the lucky position of landing two jobs on different shows and Jennifer wins a job for a promotional in front of New York's skyline. Once again the girls get in trouble after being forced by the judges to vote for the four weakest among them that should not attend castings. Sarah is named by everyone including herself for still not being able to walk followed by Gina-Lisa, Carolin and Christina. Although not being among these four, Gisele gets teary for another time after receiving a heavy number of votes as well. At a casting for Miss 60 Vanessa, Janina, Bianca and Gisele reach the second round. Janina, who wins the casting is allowed to choose two girls of the other three to watch the show, what makes her choose Vanessa and Bianca. At the week's photo shoot at which the girls have to pose with exotic animals, Oppermann refuses to take photos with an ape after not being happy with how the animal is being treated by the team. Therefore, Heidi tells her on eliminations day that they are sick of her behavior and gives her a warning but lets her pass onto the next round. It is Elena, the only Austrian among the finalists, who has to leave New York halfway with being criticized for having started on a very high level but not being able to build upon this and being surpassed by the other girls.

Controversy

[edit]
  • Aline Tausch, who was eliminated in episode four, did a nude photo shoot for penthouse magazine.[2] She was confronted with it by Heidi Klum during the show.
  • Gisele Oppermann became known for her whiny voice[3] and her bursting into tears permanently when being confronted with one of her many phobias such as her fear of cockroaches, butterflies ("lepidopterophobia") and elevators.[4] She is the first contestant in the history of Germany's Next Topmodel to quit a photo shoot. (See Willkommen in New York.)
  • On 15 May it was reported that Gisele Oppermann used to be a drug dealer in secondary school selling hashish to seventh graders, consuming drugs herself and eventually getting the boot.[5] This happened to be the day of the broadcast of her elimination.
  • On 12 April, a "secret list" was published on a fan forum[6] which foresaw all the eliminations correctly. On 22 and 23 May tabloid newspaper Bild published two articles referencing to the list.[7][8]

In February 2023, the Berliner Zeitung published an article about the show with the headline: "Why isn't Germany’s Next Topmodel actually canceled?"[9]

In March 2023 former judge Peyman Armin apologized to Lijana Kaggwa for what she had to experience on Germany's Next Topmodel. He also apologized for being part of Germany's Next Topmodel and promised to never take part in the show again. All of this was broadcast in the format "13 questions" on ZDF.[10][11]

In March 2023 BILD published the following message: "If the contestants get along too well, they will receive instructions from the crew to argue and produce beef." The participating contestants are also too young and inexperienced and cannot assess the extent of the show.[12]

In April 2023, Heidi Klum said about everything that happens at Germany's Next Topmodel: "At the end of the day I'm the boss and I make the rules!"[13]

In June 2023, the German TV broadcaster ZDF released a 70-minute investigative documentary about the machinations of the makers of Germany's Next Topmodel called "Pressure, hatred, manipulation: how sick does Germany's Next Topmodel make you?". For this documentary, around 50 former contestants, judges and members of the show's crew were interviewed, some anonymously. The makers of the documentary admitted that they are familiar with difficult investigations, but they have never experienced it before that so many people were afraid to talk about what happened as these former participants and employees of Germany's Next Topmodel. A crew member of the show who wished to remain anonymous is quoted as saying: "If you film a young woman from morning to night, you'll get every sectional image you want. So you can cut and tell what you want. A lot of things are cut together wildly. The jobs depend on it. It's about ratings." In addition, former contestants report how the show's editors deliberately foment manipulation, lies and discord among the contestants behind the scenes. The contestants are shielded from the outside world so they lose their nerve and argue. So 20 candidates have to sleep together in one room without contact to the outside world. The statements by Heidi Klum, the broadcasting TV station Pro7 and the production company are presented as hypocrisy. Pro7 is said to have earned 87 million euros with the Season 18, and Heidi Klum 10 million euros. The contestants receive no money. Germany's Next Topmodel has driven some contestants into depression and suicidal thoughts.[14][15][16][17][18][19]
