Emotions Run High on GNTM as Contestants Face Tearful Challenges and Catwalk Pressure
The latest episode of Germany's Next Topmodel featured a demanding photo shoot, emotional breakdowns, and a dramatic runway challenge, pushing contestants to their limits.
- The episode centered on a 'tears-on-demand' photo shoot, where contestants were tasked with crying on cue, some using onions while others drew on personal emotions.
- Magdalena, a contestant with a long-distance relationship and family struggles, collapsed during the shoot but later recovered to participate in the campaign.
- The runway challenge, dubbed the 'Butterfly Walk,' required models to emerge from a cocoon in elaborate upcycled outfits designed by Kevin Germanier, testing their poise and adaptability.
- Five contestants were eliminated, including Marie, who struggled with high heels and admitted that modeling did not align with her personal interests.
- Guest judge Romee Strijd, a former Victoria's Secret model, joined Heidi Klum to evaluate performances, praising standout contestants while critiquing others for lack of energy or confidence.
