Episode Summaries
Aptitude and Natural Talent
Original Airdate: April 21, 2008
The 14 girls all go to an interview with the press where they are asked why they want to win. Lisa is disappointed in Aaron, Leanne and Martha for not saying they think they can win, but says she is impressed and excited by Alex.
The first challenge is about pairing up and picking your partners best and worst features. Lynzi and Sophie win the challenge and are rewarded with a day out with two other couples. Upon their return Stefanie calls a house meeting over the kitchen being filthy and verminous.
The girls then receive Lisa Mail about their first photoshoot and later find out it's a topless shoot in pairs. At judging Leanne, Rachael and Catherine receive praise while Aaron, Sophie and Martha are criticised.
The judges like Alex's photo but when she says she doesn't like it, it turns them off, and they think Stefanie's confidence comes off as arrogance. In the end, Aaron and Sophie end up in the bottom two with Sophie being eliminated.

Poise and Composure
Original Airdate: April 28, 2008
The girls are sent on a crash course in dance with top choreographer Supple. When Supple asks for them each to freestyle he is not impressed with the girls' moves and goes on to announce that only one person has a glimmer of potential, Leanne. The girls then get a runway lesson from top fashionista Jeanette who has the girls walk in seven inch platform stilettos designed by Terry De Havilland. Leanne, having done well in the previous task, breaks down into tears after falling flat on her face during the runway challenge.
Jeanette and Terry then choose the best seven girls - Aaron, Catherine, Charlotte, Lauren, Lynzi, Martha and Rachael - to win this weeks prize. The seven winners get to take part in a fashion show featuring the work of top designer Scottee - whose dresses are all made out of paper. The girls also wear the seven inch platforms they wore in the challenge earlier. Then at the photo shoot the theme was "Girl's Night Out" with all the girls getting different scenarios.
| Contestant | Scenario |
|---|---|
| Aaron | The Latin dancer. |
| Alex | The waitress. |
| Catherine | The "cheated on" girl |
| Charlotte | The crying girl |
| Lauren | The flirtatious girl |
| Leanne | The "broken heel" girl |
| Lisa | The girl who cheats |
| Louise | The angry girl. |
| Lynzi | The Birthday girl. |
| Martha | The pole dancer. |
| Musayeroh | The desperate flirter. |
| Rachael | The DJ. |
| Stefanie | The tired girl |
Catherine is reduced to tears after Gerry asks her to look angry in her photoshoot but at the end tells her she looks more like a lunatic.
Back at the house, Aaron expresses her feelings at the way she is treated in the house, which escalates into a large argument which upsets Rachael, causing her to vomit outside and question her position with other girls in the house.
At judging, some of the girls manage to pull off good photos with Stefanie, Rachael and Lisa being praised by the judges, but Catherine, Musayeroh, Alex, Martha, Aaron and Leanne receive harsh comments from the judges. In the end, Alex and Musayeroh end up in the bottom two and Musayeroh is sent home because the judges saw no model potential.
- Bottom two: Alex Evans & Musayeroh Barrie
- Eliminated: Musayeroh Barrie

Style and Presentation
The girls are told that they are getting their makeovers in a Lisa Mail. Once they arrive at the salon, they discover that all the mirrors have been covered with black paper - to prevent the girls from seeing their makeovers till they are completed. Aaron, Charlotte, Rachael and Stefanie begin to cry at the thought of having their hair cut off but most the girls are happy with the final result. Alex threw a temper tantrum at the thought of getting her hair cut, but she - like the others - was pleased with the final result.
The challenge was a bucking bronco advertisement for the ever so cheesy "Britain's Next Top Model Hairspray" in which they had to learn a script and bring some comedy to the challenge. Leanne was shocked once it was announced she had won and a lot of the girls (especially Lisa) were annoyed. Back at the house a split was caused as the more sensible girls (Martha, Lynzi, Lauren, Louise, Lisa, Stefanie) stayed upstairs as the others led by Rachael made clothing out of kitchen utensils and rolled around naked in chip fat and mayonnaise.
For this weeks photoshoot they had the added element of working with a small dog, however Aaron, Lauren and Lisa had to pose with a Weimaraner. Gerry was extremely impressed with Martha who brought emotion and poses to the shoot but was very annoyed with Louise who walked onto the shoot looking like she'd just been slapped in the face with a hot frying pan. Lisa and Rachael gave great shots but Stefanie and Lynzi lacked to produce anything editorial.
At the judging panel a lot of comments were made on the dire advertisements and the judges gave mostly good comments to the girls on their photos. In the end, Louise and Lauren end up in the bottom two, and Louise is sent home.

Character and Personality
Original Airdate: May 12, 2008
The girls took part in a challenge for Jai Kudo glasses, to which the girls had to use their facial features to portray their set emotion, Stefanie excelled in this and won a set of Jai Kudo frames. They then later had to put together an outfit that showed their own personal style, in which Stefanie's glamour look is criticized, and Alex is again frustrated by her makeover. In the end, it is Charlotte that wins the challenge and is, coincidently, booked by the client for a future job.
At the weekly photoshoot the eleven hopefuls were greeted by Gerry Deveaux and Giorgio Guidotti, of Italian fashion house, Primarni. Gerry explained the shoot was for the latest collection by SportMax – one of Max Mara's labels – and that the girls had to be photographed elegantly climbing out of a lowered sports car whilst retaining their dignity. Many of the girls struggle, much to the disappointment of the judges, in particular Lauren's focus and Stefanie's editorial potential is questioned.
In the elimination, Lisa and Lauren were in the bottom two. The judges agreed that they should had both been further on in the competition than they were, but the girls had to wave goodbye to Lauren after her second consecutive appearance in the bottom two and Lisa is saved.

Exhibition and Spectacle
Original Airdate: May 19, 2008
The girls meet with TV star, June Sarpong to learn interview skills, and are watched undercover by two magazine journalists who praise Charlotte for being the most relaxed, Leanne for her story which "many would like to hear about" and Lisa for playing up to her androgynistic look. They say that Catherine and Martha were a 'breath of fresh air', but not interesting enough. Stefanie reveals during the interview that she once dated Lee Ryan, which sparks some snide comments from the other girls, with Alex saying they weren't interested by this fact at all.
The claws are out as the girls critique each other during the challenge, which was walking down a spiral staircase with poise and elegance. Martha receives praise all round, as does Rachael and Lisa. Rachael wins the challenge, and chooses Charlotte and Aaron to share her prize of attending a showbiz party, whose guests include Louise Redknapp and many others. While at the house the remaining girls remove Aaron's bed as a prank. This causes tension on Aaron's return between Lynzi and Aaron, and in turn, Leanne and Aaron. Eventually almost all the girls end up arguing with somebody (except Rachael who was criticized by the other girls for avoiding any conflict). Stefanie and Charlotte come to blows, as during an argument, Stefanie imitates Charlotte's Liverpudlian accent.
At the photoshoot Huggy teaches the girls the 10 model commandments:
| Contestant | Commandment |
|---|---|
| Aaron | Thou shalt work the camera at all times |
| Alex | Thou shalt not steal from catwalk shows |
| Catherine | Thou shalt kill for fashion |
| Charlotte | Thou shalt date a rockstar |
| Leanne | Thou shalt honour thy lipstick and mascara |
| Lisa | Thou shalt be a slave to fashion |
| Lynzi | Thou shalt always wear high heels |
| Martha | Thou shalt always get thy beauty sleep |
| Rachael | Thou shalt detox thy body at any given chance |
| Stefanie | Thou shalt not worship any god other than the fashion goddess |
In judging Charlotte was praised for being a versatile, Stefanie for using the judges advice and finally producing a great photo, and Martha for her constant improvement. The judges say they like Alex's picture, but that she doesn't present herself as a model. Eventually Lisa, for the second time, and Lynzi fail to impress and land in the bottom two, and Lynzi being sent home.

Drama and Performance
Original Airdate: May 26, 2008
This week the girls learn some new choreography with Supple, who has returned after training them in a previous episode. Alex and Aaron struggle with the dancing challenge, as do most of the girls except Stefanie who picked up the moves well. Yet, Stefanie did not win the challenge much to her disappointment, but was told she had a lot of potential. Ironically it was Alex who won, along with Rachael, Leanne and Catherine, who all performed their routine in a live concert.
For this week's photoshoot, the girls are told they are to pose for an album cover, and one of them will actually be used. The girls had to pose in a white space in bikini's, imagining they were at a beach. Leanne becomes very self conscious about her body, and Charlotte laughs through most of her shoot, much to the annoyance of the photographer.
Lisa Snowdon decided she would treat the girls and had arranged for The Bar Wizards -finalists on last years Britain's Got Talent- to come and make cocktails. All the girls enjoyed themselves, but Aaron once again drank too much.
At the judging panel, the judges were critical of a lot of photos, but praised Alex and Stefanie, and announced Leanne was chosen as the cover. Martha, Rachael, Catherine and Lisa produced poor photos, much to the disappointment of the judges. Charlotte was heavily criticized by the judges for showing up to the shoot with a bad attitude. In the end it was Charlotte and Lisa in the bottom two, Charlotte for not taking the competition seriously, and Lisa for producing a bad photo once again. Lisa was sent home after being in the bottom two three consecutive weeks.

Intelligence and Originality
Original Airdate: June 2, 2008
The models face an acting challenge which includes a steamy kissing scene with guest actor Guy Burnet. The acting lesson serves as practice, as they later go on to film a commercial for jewellery, in which two girls are chosen as feature roles. It is revealed later at panel that the chosen girls are Alex and Catherine. The commercial causes a problem for Rachael as it involves moving around a set of fire, which she is affraid of, yet on set she seems to have no problem at all. This annoys Catherine and she confronts Rachael back at the house, in which Alex sides with Catherine. This then provokes Stefanie into defending Rachael, leading Catherine into calling her two faced. Charlotte then attempts to defend Rachael as she is angered by Catherine when she tells Rachael she doesn't like her facial expressions, Catherine retaliated stating Charlotte talks down to people. Leanne tries to calm things down and also defends Rachael, but is criticised by Catherine for being a 'clown'
The photoshoot this week is a couture shot where each girl had to portray a different emotion.
| Contestant | Emotion |
|---|---|
| Aaron | Pious |
| Alex | Sadness |
| Catherine | Pleading |
| Charlotte | Desire |
| Leanne | Pure Evil |
| Martha | Terrified |
| Rachael | Happiness |
| Stefanie | Anger |
This caused problems for some of the girls, including Rachael, Martha and Leanne. Martha is criticised for having all the potential in the world but not using it, whereas the judges feel that Leanne lacks the versatility to be a high fashion model. In a shocking elimination, both girls are asked to leave, leaving Leanne devastated.

Imagination and Creativity
Original Airdate: June 9, 2008
The girls had to pose as different types of mannequines for their photoshoot:
| Contestant | Mannequin Style |
|---|---|
| Aaron | Wicked |
| Alex | Elegant |
| Catherine | Dominatrix |
| Charlotte | Broken |
| Rachael | Rocker |
| Stefanie | Crazy |
Stefanie began to panic before her shoot as she didn't have a chance to take her epilepsy medicine, and she was worried about the camera flash. She didn't let the worry affect her shoot and delivered an excellent photo, which the panel admired. Rachael also delivered a good photo but her sincerity was questioned by the judges. It was Charlotte and Aaron who ended in the bottom two this week. Charlotte's photo was unsatisfactory as she lost the beauty in her facial expression, Aaron on the other hand showed beauty but lacked any energy in the shoot. In the end it was Aaron who was sent home as the judges agreed she should have progressed further by this stage in the competition.
