Episode summaries

Episode 1

First aired November 25, 2012

The chosen fourteen girls were met by host Nadya Hutagalung at a high-end shopping district along Orchard Road in Singapore where she introduced the cycle's judging panel. Nadya then revealed that the girls would immediately get the competition started with a runway challenge. Some of the girls struggled with their outfit and walk, but ultimately it was Trang that was declared the winner, winning a $5,000 shopping spree from Wisma Atria for a new wardrobe.

After the challenge, the girls then move to their new house where they start to choose rooms and settle down.

The next day, the girls were brought to Little India for their first photo shoot where they were greeted by judge Daniel Boey along with designers Afton Chen and Louis Koh from Reckless Ericka. The girls were then ecstatic upon finding out that judge Todd Anthony Tyler would be their photographer for the shoot. They were then asked to model clothes from Reckless Ericka while working a prop and being quirky. While Stephanie, Rachel, Jessica, and Helena impressed Tyler, most of the girls struggled to be quirky while working their prop.

After the shoot, Trang goes on a shopping spree as her prize from the challenge. Upon returning back to the house, she brings presents for all the girls, to everyone's delight.

At panel, most of the girls received negative feedback from their shots. Stephanie, Rachel, and Helena impressed the judges for embracing the point of the shoot. Melissa expressed how she lacked experience in the industry but planned to absorb as much information as she could. Kyla was criticized for posing awkward instead of quirky during the shoot. Nadya asked Kate to present herself more properly when being called forward for critique. Ultimately, Melissa's inexperience and Kyla's flat performance landed them in the bottom two. In the end, Melissa was deemed to have more potential, and Kyla became the first girl to be eliminated.

  • First call-out: Helena Chan
  • Bottom two: Kyla Tan Rong Ying & Melissa Th'ng Mei Ling
  • Eliminated: Kyla Tan Rong Ying
  • Featured Photographer: Todd Anthony Tyler
  • Special guests: Afton Chen, Louis Koh, Lauren Clarke Jensen

Episode 2

First aired December 2, 2012

The remaining girls were greeted by runway coach Joey Mead King and runway trainer Adam Williams for a runway tutorial, then the girls were introduced to their challenge which is a fashion show for Singaporean designer Thomas Wee at the L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon located within Resorts World Sentosa. Although some of the girls improved their walk, Trang emerged victorious and won the reward challenge, which is a gown to be made especially for her by Thomas Wee and dinner with two friends at the L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. She chooses Aastha and Stephanie to join her for the reward challenge dinner which disappoints Helena who celebrates her birthday at the time. Back at the house, tensions were flaring when the girls from the reward challenge return as the other girls are celebrating Helena's birthday. Some of the girls expressed that it was unfair for them to have Trang, who had prior modelling experience, to compete with them in the competition.

The photo shoot takes place at former Tanjong Pagar railway station, the girls worked in groups wearing Prada while portraying virtual princesses. The best group photo would have their photo featured as an editorial in Harper's Bazaar.

Group Models
One Filantropi, Helena, Kate, Monica
Two Aastha, Bei Si, Sofia, Trang
Three Jee, Jessica, Melissa, Rachel, Stephanie

Trang's shoes dragged her down on her shoot, Jee and Stephanie both got bad critiques on their shoot, and Filantropi was told that she was the worst of the bunch. After the photo shoot, Monica received news that her father was ill and she had to go to him, which led to her withdrawal from the competition.

  • Quit: Monica Benjaratjarunun

At panel, group 2 received the most praise, specifically Aastha and Sofia, while Trang received bad critique. In group 1, Helena shone while Filantropi was heavily critiqued. In group 3, Jessica received praise while Jee and Stephanie both received bad feedback. Although Rachel's picture received praise as well, she was taken out of panel after collapsing to receive medical attention.

Ultimately, the second group won and their picture was chosen to be featured on Harpers Bazaar. Jee and Stephanie landed in the bottom two for their lackluster photographs, but Nadya then announced that no one would be going home since Monica had decided to leave the competition, sparing both girls from elimination.

  • First call-out: Aastha Pokharel
  • Bottom two: Jee Choi & Stephanie Retuya
  • Not called out at panel: Rachel Erasmus
  • Eliminated: None
  • Special guests: Adam Williams, Thomas Wee, Junita Simon, Kenneth Goh

The girls were surprised to find out that they would be having their makeovers. At the salon, Jessica and Rachel embraced their new short hair, while Aastha complained about it. Kate received honey blonde hair, Jee received very fiery red hair, Helena received a Victoria Beckham inspired look, while Trang and Filantropi both received a similar haircut.

First aired December 16, 2012

The girls were taught by model mentor Joey Mead King on how to pose sexily in pictures. At the challenge, Joey asked the girls to dress up sexy for their challenge, which was to bring any object and make sexy poses with it. Aastha and Jessica impressed Joey, but it was Helena who won the challenge. As her prize, she was able to go out to dinner with Joey and Todd Anthony Tyler. She chose Jee and Rachel to accompany her for the dinner. The girls thought that Helena's poses were not that great, and they all agreed that she simply 'got lucky' because she had chosen a phone as her prop.

At the photo shoot, the girls were asked to pose with celebrity and host Jason Godfrey. Trang had a wardrobe malfunction, as she forgot to bring tampons during her period. Some of the girls excelled in the shoot, Jee found it awkward, Filantropi struggled, and Helena pushed her sexiness too far. Kate was castigated for being too jolly and stiff at the shoot.

At panel, Sofia received the best photo for achieving the sexiest photograph. Aastha redeemed herself after being in the bottom two the previous week. Although Kate received good feedback for her photo, she was noticed for being uptight at panel and slowly losing her personality. She read a personal letter aloud to the judges in order to prove that she was serious about the competition. Filantropi and Jee found themselves in the bottom two. In in a shocking twist, Nadya announced that both of them would be eliminated, saying that there was no more time for either of them to improve.
