List of episodes
A Fashion Baptism of Fire
Original airdate: April 28, 2009
Thirteen new girls meet their new host, Sarah Murdoch, and are put through their paces straight away in front of Australia's A-list of fashion. The first photo shoot reveals a new pack of "Bitchketeers".
The girls arrive at a surprise press conference and runway with fashion industry experts including Wayne Cooper and Collette Dinigan, the judges as well as Australia's Next Top Model alumnus Eboni Stocks, Samantha Downie, Alexandra Girdwood, Jordan Loukas and Demelza Reveley. Franky, Laura M and Clare are all praised for their runway walks where as many of the others struggle. Cassi is scolded for swearing while on the runway, and Georgie is told she did not look confident. Franky is deemed the winner of the runway challenge, and is given immunity from elimination as her prize.
The models are then given the keys to their new house and are welcomed by bags of gifts. Cassi begins to annoy some of the other girls with what they perceive as attention seeking behavior. In a house meeting Georgie and Franky attack Cassi, but other girls then jump to her defense, making Franky upset. In a Couture Swimwear Photoshoot Leah makes some nasty comments about Clare and her pale complexion, causing her to get upset. Franky and Georgie struggle at their shoot where as Cassi and Tahnee excel.
In judging, Cassi is praised for her ability to transform in front of the camera, Eloise is commended for her amazing body, Madison is told that her photograph was stunning but there was only one usable picture, and Laura M is criticised for squinting in her photo. Adele and Laura T end up in the bottom 2, Adele for not living up to her potential in the shoot and Laura T for criticising other girls when she delivered a less-than-stellar photograph despite previous modeling experience. Adele is spared, and Laura T is asked to leave the competition.

Runway Hell
Original airdate: May 19, 2009
This week the girls were put to the test on their runway skills with runway coach, Mink Sadowsky. Clare and Franky excelled but Madison had a difficult time with her walk. In an effort to make the girls take things more seriously after their walking lesson, Sarah sends them on an early runway assignment to the fruit market. The girls had to walk on the back of a truck in front of the market workers. While Tahnee, Clare, Adele and Franky excel, Tahnee is deemed the winner of the runway challenge and she is given a $10,000 shopping spree at The Corner Store, and chooses to give Adele $1,000 of her prize.
In the house, Cassi physically threatens Clare because she woke Cassi while showering. Also, Tahnee and Eloise put a McDonald's bag filled with cigarettes on Mikarla's bed in an effort to make her quit smoking. This backfires and results in Mikarla calling Tahnee fat and attacking Eloise; Cassi then pours the cigarette contents in Eloise's bed as pay back.
This week's photo shoot was with U by Kotex where the girls had to strut their stuff while showing confidence. Monty Koble, a Kotex representative, said that the best photo will be used as an advertisement, giving all of the girls extra incentive to perform at the shot. At elimination, Franky finds out that her photo will be used in a U ad campaign. Ultimately, it is a double elimination. Mikarla is sent home because she has a bored attitude and doesn't take the competition seriously, and Eloise is eliminated for not taking on the judges previous criticism and being a one-look wonder.

Controversy
Even before the cycle has premiered, there has been controversy over a number of issues.
16 year old Cassi Van Den Dungen has been critised for being a proud bogan and "drinker" with her mother in support, having to take anger management classes to control her temper whilst participating in the series and for being engaged and living alone with a 25 year old bricklayer. She also received backlash from Hume City Council mayor Jack Ogilvie over her comments in which she descibed her hometown of Sunbury as "like a ghetto", with the mayor stating that she is a "very immature, silly little girl" and that "she owes Sunbury an apology. I wonder if she knows what a ghetto is. Sunbury is far from being a ghetto, far from it."[4].
18 year old Mikarla Hussey's appearance initially shocked host Sarah Murdoch. In the second episode, a nutritionist assisted the contestants healthy eating, weight management and lifestyle choices. Mikarla initially weighed 50 kg (110 lb) before production began. After her swimsuit photo shoot showed off her technically unhealthy body, she was force to gain the extra weight. She now weighs 56 kg (123 lb).[5][6]
