This week's "World of Topmodel" holds a one-day-trip to Oahu, Hawaii for three of the girls: among them Erica, who is not selected in the casting for Surfer Magazine's photo shoot and resorts to drama. Back in L.A. the troupe is faced with the next photo challenge: a colorful body-painting shooting in a West L.A. studio loft. Overshadowed by Erica's bad mood, the girls blame her for ruining the shooting for all of them. The episode ends with the obligatory "live walk", the challenge here is the catwalk is suspended between a stack of sea shipping container, 42 ft above ground.

The episode centers on drama, as one of the girls is said to be mobbing everyone allegedly. At panel the girls have the opportunity to save one girl. Jüli is saved with having one more vote than Sandy. Sandy and Varisa are eliminated for their weak performance during this week.
Episode 10: Bubble Gum
Original airdate: April 16, 2015
Heidi opens the episode with a so-called Out-of-bed challenge - each girl is being photographed just after waking up. World of Topmodel is a cover shoot for Shape magazine, executed later on in Miami, FL, after a casting in L.A, where Laura, Darya and Kiki reach the second round. Kristian Schuller does a camera test with each of the girls, giving them a few lines and some simple acting instructions in a spec bubble-gum commercial, where Anuthida performs best with Laura being second. The girls do training for cover shoots with having one high fashion and a body shot. Anuthida who has started to earn her reputation as a favorite the week before is deemed best along with Jüli and Katharina. Laura is surprisingly eliminated for having said to want to leave the competition at several times and in spite of her strong week. Sara, who the judges feel is not ready yet is eliminated second. One segment centers on Anuthida who is reunited with her father after 15 years while he lived in Las Vegas without having stayed in contact.
Episode 11: Bold Heads (Das Glatzenshooting)
Original airdate: April 23, 2015
The episode's first segment is a recap of Anuthida's family-reunion from last week. Heidi inspects all the girls' social media accounts, where Darya and Ajsa receive bad critique for their pictures that lack niveau. Katharina wins the challenge to take a new photo in LA for social media. This week's casting is for Opel, where Anuthida is booked for the important commercial. Kristian Schuller then challenges the girls in a mannequin-themed shoot where each girl receives a bold head by special-effects makeup. The shoot turns out to be especially challenging for Darya who carried over a bad mood from the previous segment where Heidi coached the girls in social media etiquette. Back at the villa, Wolfgang Joop asks the girls to style an outfit for Heidi, the reward is an expensive dress from a famous designer. Vanessa's outfit wins the challenge with Katharina being second. As usual, the episode closes with a live walk, where only Anuthida, Katharina and Jüli receive good critique, while Darya is heavily critiqued for her unprofessional mood at the shoot and during the entire week. Vanessa and Kiki are critiqued for their walks. Ajsa is critiqued for her unprofessional smile when presenting Haute Couture. Lisa performs weak at the photo shoot and on the runway. Ajsa, Vanessa, Kiki and Lisa land in the bottom four. Lisa and Kiki even in the bottom two. When Lisa reaches the next round Kiki thinks she is eliminated but she is surprised by the judges.

Original airdate: April 30, 2015
First, Heidi does mail bag with the girls. Then, three are flying over to New York for a Fashion Week casting (World of Topmodel). Back in L.A. the troupe is being coached for an upcoming shoot with Kristian. A choreographer instructs them in doing some basic routines. Again, room for drama between Darya and Kiki. The live walk is inspired by the classic Singing in the Rain, with artificial rain pouring down on the runway.

Original airdate: May 7, 2015
Episode 14: The Semi-Final (Das Halbfinale)
Original airdate: May 10, 2015
In contrast to previous cycles, the semi-final episode is a small scale live-on-tape show set in an old church. Heidi and the judges present this week's episode in segments, intertwined with live-show style interviews and sentiments from friends and family. The episode's first job is the cover shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine, followed by a challenge where each girl has to act in a New York street scene for Maybelline. Vanessa wins this job and shoots a campaign for the brand. Flying over to Paris, the girls compete again, this time for participation in Wolfgang Joop's Wunderkind runway show. Vanessa wins. The episode closes with a live walk in front of the jury, and much critique for Darya, who is eliminated.
Episode 15: The Finale, Part 1 (Das Finale, Teil 1)
Original airdate: May 14, 2015
The live show in Mannheim's SAP Arena was opened by the four finalists, leading into an opening act with the whole cycle 10 cast walking the stage's catwalk and Jason Derulo performing his new single. Heidi entered the stage via show lift from the ceiling and her fellow judges were introduced in an equally dramatic act. The first live walk followed, where each of the finalists had to act doll-like first and then present a matching thematic walk, followed by Katharina's elimination from the competition. Just before the show entered the next act, after about an hour of airtime, Heidi led over to an irregular commercial break, followed by a segment of clips from the previous episodes. The remainder of the show was canceled and ProSieben aired a rerun of The Blind Side. Tweets and news coverage spread the information that the show was stopped and the location evacuated due to a bomb threat. ProSieben later officially confirmed they would not carry on with the finale show. As it was later revealed, Jüli had won the online voting between the girls who didn't reach the final and thus would have been the girl to open the top 18 walk.
The day following the finale, it was announced that the new pre-recorded finale would air on May 28. Viewers who had purchased tickets for the live final had their money reimbursed.
Episode 15: The Finale, Part 2 (Das Finale, Teil 2)

The live finale continued in New York City after the original finale had to be postponed. The winners from cycles past, with the exception of Jana Beller who was absent due to a bereavement, made an appearance for the final show. Vanessa was declared Germany's Next Topmodel.
