Episode Guide
Episode 1
First aired September 15, 2011
The judges welcome aspiring models to castings held all over Romania. The final fifteen are selected, and a surprise contestant (Sandra) is re-introduced to the competition despite not having made the final cut.
Episode 2
First aired September 22, 2011
The models receive their makeovers. Gina and Laura throw a fit when they become displeased with their new looks. Later, the girls receive training on all things top model. This includes walking on an extremely narrow platform where the contestants must practice balance for the upcoming runway challenge.
At the runway challenge, the girls walk in a fashion show wearing dresses designed by Mihai Albu. Mădălina Barbu (runner-up of the first season) was there to encourage them. The next day, the models take part in their very first photo shoot. The goal is to display their new looks. Iasmina is driven to the hospital that same day when she becomes ill. However, she does show up for the shoot despite her condition. Most girls do extremely well, with the exception of Miruna, Flori, Gina, Sandra and Iasmina - who struggle during their session.
At elimination, the girls are evaluated on their overall performance during the week. Sandra's photo receives heavy criticism, as does Miruna's and Iasmina's. Mădălina becomes faint at panel, is quickly carried away for medical attention. Ultimately, Flori, Miruna and Iasmina land in the bottom three. Flori is given another chance, resulting in the elimination of the former two.
