Episode 1: Das große Casting in Köln
Title translation: The Big Audition in Cologne
Original airdate: February 28, 2008
Featured photographer: Robertino Nicolic
Special guest(s): Boris Entrup, Philipp Plein
Out of 18.217 applicants, 120 girls from all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland came to Cologne to convince the judges of their qualities as Germany's next top model. The young women had to walk the runway either in a favourite outfit or bathing suit. Moreover they undertook small challenges: Some had to sing, dance or scream in wrath, others were told to advertise a shampoo or even expose the preferences of a cleansing agent for toilets. Meanwhile the other contestants had to show three different emotions (anger, dolor and happiness) in a one-minute-photoshoot.
The judges narrowed down the competition to fifty girls, who flew to Barcelona in a surprise trip the next morning. They were booked for the BREAD & BUTTER – tradeshow for selected brands festival on January 16, January 17, and January 18, 2008. The show was presented by Phillipp Plein, a well-known designer, on the same evening. As most of the girls had not been very experienced in doing a runway show, some of them had severe problems on the catwalk which lead to several pitiable sights. In the end thirty girls reached the next round.

Judge guest: Kristian Schuller
The 19 finalists are taken to their first destination in Austria to do a photoshoot in front of a helicopter. However before that judge Rolf Scheider reports about several complaints by the hotel organisation about how the girls left their rooms and asks the abusers to reveal themselves in front of the entire group. Gisele, Sarah and Gina-Lisa admit to having smoked in the rooms but who has drunk all the alcohol from the mini-bar remains a secret. Scheider promises consequences for everyone. At the photoshoot several girls have trouble with the wind like Gina-Lisa whose dress is constantly soaring up leaving her underwear visible for several moments but its Gisele who's taken most of the attention due to being afraid of helicopters. Back in Germany the girls finally arrive at the model house but as a result of none of them admitting having drunk the alcohol yet, they are taken back to a youth hostel as a punishment for the entire group. One day later they are finally allowed to stay in the luxurious building but its the first housemeeting, organized by Gisele, Katharina and Aisha, that is causing new trouble. Several girls accuse each other of being responsible for a bad atmosphere, and Gisele accuses Aline of having called Gina-Lisa a prostitute. The meeting ends without any constructive result when Gisele bursts out into tears because the group surrounding Aline is calling her a liar. On elimination day the girls have to do a runway walk in front of the judges while keeping an egg on a spoon in their mouth. While hearing her criticism, Katharina is asked by the judges who was bitching the most in the house, and as she states its Tainá Santos Silva both girls are happy to have a chat in front of the panel which is interrupted by Heidi after seeing no signs of results coming up from that. Outside the room Katharina is accused by the other girls for being a snitch and another argument between the two parties begins. The episode ends with a cliffhanger once again, the first time being cycle 2's episode 11. The elimination process is completely cut from the episode but a preview showed a few seconds of the following week's episode.

Last week's elimination is shown at the very beginning of this episode. Rubina Radwanski is eliminated due to the inability to express her personality in a photo shoot. Heidi Klum tells Aisha that she has a lot of potential but the judges don't think they are able to bring out the best in her, so she is sent home as well. The judges panel also decides to send Sandra Korte home because her under achievements hamper the progress of the show.
The remaining contestants go to a salon for their makeovers. Gina-Lisa Lohfink and Wanda Badwal, however, complain throughout the entire process. Lohfink is upset in large part because she does not want to have her long white weave cut short. Badwal cries about her hair loss.
Afterwards the contestants are taken to a fashion store where they have to pick outfits that match their new haircut. Once again Lohfink draws everybody's attention by wrapping herself up in ten articles of clothing. – She is certain that she is allowed to keep everything she wears. Gisele Oppermann and Sarah Knappik are chosen as the challenge's winners. They get to chose a complete outfit for free.
The girls then visit the tanzhaus nrw where personal coach Dr. Stefan Fredrich encourages them to talk about themselves in front of the group. Oppermann reveals being bullied in the past by her shoolmates and breaks down once again in front of the group just like some other girls.
Eight contestants are given the chance to audition for the leading role in a C&A shoes television commercial; Janina Schmidt wins the modelling job.
For the week's photo shoot, the girls have to pose in pairs of two. Each girl is representing the opposite to her partner. Carolin Ruppert and Jennifer Hof are safe from elimination and get a business class ticket for the plane that will move the contestants to their new home in New York City.

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 built upon this and being surpassed by the other girls.

Controversies
Aline Tausch, who was eliminated in episode four, did a nude photo shoot for penthouse magazine. She was confronted with it by Heidi Klum during the show.
Gisele Oppermann became known for her whiny voice and her bursting into tears permanently when being confronted with one of her many phobias such as her fear of cockroaches, butterflies ("lepidopterophobia") and elevators. She is the first contestant in the history of Germany's Next Topmodel to quit a photo shoot. (See Willkommen in New York.)
On May 15 it was reported that Gisele Oppermann used to be a drug dealer in secondary school selling hashish to seventh graders, consuming drugs herself and eventually getting the boot. This happened to be the day of the broadcast of her elimination.
On April 12, a "secret list" was published on a fan forum which foresaw all the eliminations correctly. On May 22 and May 23 tabloid newspaper Bild published two articles referencing to the list.
