Private Notes
Dannii Minogue joins host Elle Macpherson and Tyson Beckford on the judging panel as 28 hopefuls begin their battle for a modelling contract with a leading agency. The girls pull out all the stops to make a good first impression at boot camp and progress to the next stage of the competition, but only half of them will survive the cull
The contestants head to the National Wedding Show at Birmingham's NEC to be coached in the art of the catwalk by model Jade Parfitt, and take part in a magazine cover shoot directed by Dannii Minogue, who is looking for a girl with star quality to make copies fly off the shelves.
It's time for the contestants to receive their makeovers, and while some of them are unhappy with the suggested changes to their appearance, host Elle Macpherson embraces the challenge by opting for a new look herself. After their transformations, the girls pose like professional gymnasts with Olympian Louis Smith, before one of them is eliminated.
Chemistry with the camera is imperative for a top model, so to separate the sizzlers from the fizzlers, the girls must pose with male models.
Elle Macpherson shares her top tips in a modelling workshop before Tyson challenges the girls to shine on a shoot in an ex-coal mine.
The final ten sample the flamboyant world of high fashion in a catwalk show with unusual accessories, before bearing all for a nude shoot.
The contestants demonstrate their acting skills in milk commercials, before taking part in a photoshoot inspired by classic children's stories. Elle Macpherson oversees their transformations and, for the first time in the competition, the models choose their picture to present to the judges in the elimination room.
The would-be catwalk stars take part in a quiz on the industry they are so eager to become part of, with journalist Hilary Alexander putting them through a gruelling mental workout. The winners are then treated to a party with former contestants including last year's winner Letitia Herod, and the next day, a photoshoot involving a python awaits.
Seven aspiring models remain but there are only six places available on a trip to Barbados next week. Elle Macpherson enrols them in a Fashion Targets Breast Cancer catwalk event for their biggest showcase yet, and the contestants also take part in a beauty shoot with a cosmetics company.
The six remaining girls arrive in Barbados, where they sample the model lifestyle with a relaxing start, before hitting the waves for a surfing-themed tourism advert. The action remains on the water for a boat-based photoshoot with Dannii Minogue and a leading hair-care brand, ahead of the dreaded elimination.
The final five star in a music video with Bajan pop group Cover Drive and have to learn a complicated dance routine, before Elle Macpherson challenges the contestants to model jewellery in a photoshoot set in a limestone cavern. Which of them will be receiving a one-way ticket back to Britain?
The four remaining girls compete for a place in next week's final, demonstrating what they have learnt about the fashion business by styling themselves for a Bajan magazine cover shoot. After that, Tyson Beckford sets the contestants a challenge at a sugar plantation, and the judges then gather to decide which aspiring model to eliminate - but fail to see eye-to-eye.
The three remaining contestants take part in a photoshoot with the aim of demonstrating everything they have learnt throughout the series, and the final opportunity to impress is a Caribbean carnival-themed catwalk show for an audience of industry bigwigs. Elle Macpherson, Tyson Beckford and Dannii Minogue then gather to select the winner.
