20 semi finalists are chosen for casting and an Andiamo
runway show to compete for being contestants. There were supposed to be 10 final contestants but the panel (Anne Kukkohovi, Saimi Hoyer and Sakari Majantie) decided to take 11 instead.
The girls move into their new house and get a visit from Anne Kukkohovi and then a catwalk lesson by drag queen
Jarkko Valtee. The girls then get makeover
s. The week's photoshoot is for a DNA
campaign in which the girls are dressed as chess
pieces. The girls either play the white or black queen
with the winner expressing pride and the loser expressing anger.
This week's theme is health. The girls do a photoshoot for the Skunk Girl collection by Tiia Vanhatapio for the www.fressis.fi anti-smoking campaign. The following day, a personal trainer
comes to visit and does a body assessment of the models and a workout with Nike gear. Next, a nutritionist
visits the model house and gives the challenge of preparing a healthy snack. Nanna wins the challenge and chooses Laura, who had earlier hurt her leg. The reward is a day at the spa
, but due to the injury, Laura cannot go, so Nanna chooses Blanche to go instead. The rest of the girls must clean up the house. The final assignment is filming Nelonen
Jatkuu segments, which in Finnish television are seen before and after commercial
breaks.
Tensions in the house rise up especially when everyone thinks that Blanche wants to be the centre of attention. The girls go to a dance studio to practice movement. Janina wins the challenge and chooses Laura and Nanna to share in her prize: designing personalised Nike sneakers. The week's photoshoot is for Nike where the models must jump on a trampoline
all the while showing body control. As it turned out, the first six models' photos did not come out, so they had to do it over again. Although Blanche is seen to be the diva
in the house, Ida's non-presence in the competition leads to her elimination.
The week starts with the girls receiving a Polaroid camera to practice taking beauty shots. Judge Saimi Hoyer drops by and gives critiques and advice on the Polaroids. Next comes a lesson in make-up, in which the challenge is to prepare an evening look in 10 minutes. Blanche wins the make-up challenge and chooses Anastassia and Suvi to join in her prize: an evening with socialite
queen of Finland Kaarina Kivilahti with champagne and caviar
served with blinis. The photo shoot for the week is for a Max Factor campaign with an emphasis on intensity in the face. For the photo shoot, the models are wearing the Pisto summer collection by Annika Rantala. After the shoot, the girls model the collection in a boutique
fashion show. At elimination, Anastassia is criticised for not being versatile, only having one expression, and is sent home. Immediately after elimination, Anne Kukkohovi gives the girls a hint that they should pack their bags for a trip.
The girls head off to Paris
and meet model and artist
Sanna Saastamoinen. In Paris, they go for casting at modeling agency Metropolitan. Afterwards, they meet with an actor claiming to be a modeling agency representative. The actor meets with each girl giving them harsh criticisms, then reveals that it was a test to see how much negative criticism they can stand. Back home, Anna-Kaisa gets a surprise visit from her little son Joose. The week's photo shoot is for Frozn chewing gum
and the girls are asked to express their true selves and write a message, expressing the message in the black and white advertisement. Even though she didn't deliver in the photo, Riina was given a third chance and Blanche, who was hoping to make it to the top five, was eliminated.
The models go to a photo shoot for the chameleon line of Bellinger eyewear
where they must pose with a live chameleon
. The product manager chooses Nanna as the best and rewards her with a €500 Synsam gift card
. At home, the girls receive Anne Mail stating that they will have a special international guest. After guessing Tyra Banks
and Miss J. Alexander, Janice Dickinson
shows up at the front door. During her visit, Janice yells at Janina for being a slob and praises Suvi for being perfect. At dinner, where wine is served, Janice is becoming more and more incomprehensible. She leaves the table and falls down the stairs, screaming that her right leg and head are in pain. Janice demands that the girls call an ambulance
, all the while yelling that the models are stupid and don't do anything but pose. The hospital claims that there are no visible injuries and there is no need to admit her. The next day, Janice returns to the house asking for forgiveness for her behavior. She claims to have accidentally taken a sleeping aid instead of vitamin c
before dinner, which, when mixed with champagne, had a vulgar effect on her. The next photo shoot is a spread for Finnish fashion magazine Gloria, in which the models are wearing expensive jewelry. During elimination, Janice suggests that Riina cut off her hair and that Laura is just a catalogue model.
The girls travel to Gran Canaria
. At first the girls are unimpressed by their surroundings, but are wowed by their luxurious hotel. Stylist Tommy Kilponen arrives with clothing from Vero Moda that they must divide between each other. Later in the evening, the girls are welcomed by the owner of the hotel and receive mail from their tourist guide telling them they will have a tour of the island the next day. During the tour, the girls meet up with judge Saimi Hoyer at a church in a small town and challenges the girls: they must walk on a cobblestone
street for as long as they can with raw eggs
taped to their heels. To everyone's surprise, Nanna wins the challenge despite having previously struggled with her walk. Later that night per Janice Dickenson's suggestion, Riina has her hair cut into a short bob
. The following day, the girls have a photo shoot by the pool with a male model called Hector. Janina developed a bit of a crush on the model but her photos turned out sub par, while Nanna produced good photos despite being nervous about having to look sexy while posing with a man. In the end, Riina and Nanna were chosen as the best of the day and each received a jewelry prize. The following day, the girls have another photo shoot for Bonaqua on sand dunes, despite almost getting hit by a rainstorm. At elimination, Suvi receives criticism for her lack of contact and body control, Anna-Kaisa was seen as being too safe and Janina was found to be good in front of the camera but not necessarily a model. After a brief complaint from Janina that the judges have been forgiving Suvi too much in wake of her shy demeanor, the judges decide to send both Suvi and Janina home.
Still in Gran Canaria, the models meet one on one with Anne. Anne asks each girl what they think about the competition and how they are doing. The final three then head off to do a group photo in which they are portraying funeral
goers, dressed in black. When getting of the bus, Nanna trips on her high heels and falls, ripping her stockings, however doesn't get hurt. The girls then head off for a fun night at an amusement park
. The week's photo shoot is a 1930s
sepia tone look with a male model shooting the girls with an antique camera
. Problems occur when the photographer is not pleased with the look of the male model that arrives. The modeling agency quickly finds a replacement with whom the photographer is satisfied. After the assignment, the girls get Anne Mail saying that elimination will be in back Finland. Back home, the final three discover how empty the house is without the other girls. After a tough deliberation, and Nanna and Riina being in the bottom two, Anne announces that all the girls will be in the finals.
The final three reminisce about their journey to the finale. The models first go to a photoshoot for their comp card
s. Next they meet with Finnish Cosmopolitan
to shoot for the cover. At final judging, the judges express that each model in her own right is deserving of being in the top three. Finland's Next Top Model is chosen based on her personality and, according to that Saimi Hoyer, the very first impression that was given at Top Model casting: Nanna.
