Exciting Challenges Await on ‘Germany’s Next Topmodel’
Hot and filled with challenges, ‘Germany’s Next Topmodel’ captivates audiences every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:15 PM on ProSieben or via joyn. Hosted by the stunning Heidi Klum, 51, this season features male models who bravely pose completely nude in a foamy bathtub, with Klum playfully ensuring they remain covered. She also shares her secret celebrity crush, adding a personal touch to the episode. As the models tackle the demanding fashion catwalk, one contestant, Felix, 27, known for his vibrant pink beard, faces unexpected hurdles, culminating in a shocking elimination.
Heidi Klum’s Makeover Magic
In a bid to help her male models shine, Klum emphasizes the mantra of ‘less is more’. This leads to an intriguing nude shoot where models take the plunge into a foam-filled tub, all under the keen lens of photographer Marcus Schäfer. Felix F. from Stuttgart, a fan favorite with his infectious giggle and striking appearance, is the first to step up. However, Klum decides to switch up his signature pink look for a more subdued brown to enhance his appeal.
During the tub shoot, a humorous dialogue ensues between Klum and Felix L., 21, from Vienna, who initially tries to focus on the task at hand. He eventually confesses that his celebrity crush is none other than the iconic Céline Dion. Klum reveals she has a soft spot for Hollywood actor Joaquin Phoenix, 50, and humorously reassures, “My husband knows that.” Meanwhile, as others flirt with Klum, Kevin, 24, compliments her beauty, prompting a playful exchange that hints at the camaraderie among the contestants.
As the models prepare for the runway, Felix F. surprises everyone with his new hair color, prompting a reaction from his fellow model Keanu, 24. The legendary Lena Gercke, 37, who was the first winner of ‘GNTM’, guides the contestants through their futuristic catwalk presentation alongside experienced model Johannes Huebl, 47. However, Heidi Klum’s straightforward expectations for a ‘Future Walk’ create tension among the contestants.
The runway experience proves difficult as the models navigate a foggy staircase in high heels and dark sunglasses. While some confidently maneuver the obstacle course, others stumble and fall, heightening the drama. Jonathan expresses his anxiety about falling, and his fears are realized when he trips multiple times, leaving him feeling defeated.
Elimination and Future Prospects
As the elimination round approaches, the atmosphere is notably tense. Nawin, 27, describes it as ‘very tense’, while Lena praises Ray’s captivating presence and sees potential in Moritz as a ‘Ralph Lauren type’. However, not all feedback is positive. Ethan, 19, faces criticism from Heidi for his lackluster performance, which frustrates him. Felix, now with brown hair, is also told he couldn’t manage his stumbling, leading to an unexpected elimination for him.
Ultimately, along with Felix, Gabriel from Lugano, 23, and Christian, 23, are sent home, taking with them a ‘GNTM’ bathrobe and a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences from the competition. With each episode, ‘Germany’s Next Topmodel’ continues to deliver captivating twists and inspiring moments, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what’s next.
