The remaining 14 contestants start their journey in New York with attending different castings for the currently running New York Fashion Week. Janina-Delia Schmidt finds herself in the lucky position of landing two jobs on different shows and Jennifer Hof wins a job for a promotional in front of New Yorks skyline. Once again the girls get in trouble after being forced by the judges to vote for the four weakest among them that shouldn't attend castings. Sarah Knappik is named by everyone including herself for still not being able to walk followed by Gina-Lisa Lohfink, Carolin Ruppert and Christina Leibold. Although not being among these four, Gisele Oppermann gets teary for another time after receiving a heavy amount of votes as well. At the week's photoshoot on which the girls have to pose with exotic animals Oppermann refuses to take photos with an ape after not being happy of how the animal is treated by the team. Therefore Heidi tells her on eliminations day that they're sick of her behaviour and gives her a warning but let her pass onto the next round. It's Elena Rotter, 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.
