The International destination for this cycle was Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in the Middle East.

This was the first cycle to have a live finale, and to have the final runway held at New Zealand Fashion Week. The winner was 21-year-old Brigette Thomas, from Motueka, making her the first winner from the South Island. She is the first and currently only winner to have never had an appearance in the bottom two.

The next day the girls were taken to the Pompallier house - where Colin gave the girls a comical history lesson, and he tricked a couple of the girls into smelling urine. Here it was revealed that the visit to Pompallier House was not just fin and games, but an attempt to cut the number of girls down to 20 contestants. The remaining girls posed in a meadow, dressed in an early settler costume for their first real photoshoot with photographer Russ Flatt - to determine the final 13 girls. When the judges deliberated over the photos, the final 13 were chosen and they were all flown to their Auckland penthouse.

Tensions rose in the Top Model house – as Tyne was convinced that Holly was attempting to steal all her friends. Penny Pickard and Colin Mathura-Jeffree schooled the girls on the art of walking the catwalk. Later, the Models were thrown into the deep end with a surprise runway show for Glassons. Some girls rose for the challenge, while others fell flat. Izzy and A.J failed spectacularly - while Tyne and Aroha came up trumps. Bianca, who was very awkward, felt the pressure as her confidence began to wilt with each step she took on the runway.
