Notes

1. At the end of episode 1 it was announced that Maj-Britt and Yvette, who had been initially eliminated in the first half of the episode as semi-finalists, would be replacing the two worst-performing contestants from that week's photo shoot. Anna and Franca were eliminated, and the former two took their place in the competition.
2. In episode 2, Joosje quit the competition.
3. In episode 6, the contestants were called forward, then given their verdict. Annika was called fourth and told she was eliminated. Daphne then handed Jennifer and Maj-Britt their photos.
4. During the first round of the live final, the viewer vote determined the contestants who would advance into the final three. Patricia received the fewest votes overall, and was the first contestant to be eliminated. For the second round of 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. These totals were then tallied with the percentages of the viewer vote among the remaining three contestants, which counted for half of the overall total. Ananda accumulated the most points at the end of the night, and was crowned the winner.
