Notes

1. In episode 1, the pool of 20 semi-finalists was reduced to the final 12 contestants.
2. In episode 3, Bodil and Kim were immune from elimination after winning a challenge. Bengü and Maan were both eliminated when they landed in the bottom two.
3. In episode 4, there was a bottom three, as opposed to the usual bottom two.
4. During the live final, each of the judges was allowed to vote for one of the three remaining models. The weight of each individual vote was ten points, with a possible total of 50 points. Kim received the overwhelming majority of the viewer vote with a total of 40 points, equal to roughly 80% of the total votes, with the remaining 20% (10 points) split evenly between Christa and Sabrina. After Kim met the 50 point mark with 10 points from Yfke Sturm, she was declared the winner, as it would have been mathematically impossible for the other two contestants to win with the remainder of the votes.
