The models sat with host Anouk Smulders and reminisced about the events leading up to the final, and the show took a closer look at the day-to-day lives of the four finalists as they prepared for the cycle's live finale.

The judges explained the new voting system for the finale, in which they would be responsible for eliminating the first two finalists, and the public would choose the winner out of the two remaining contestants. The finalists performed in a series of live runway shows alongside the previously eliminated contestants, and the show went over footage of the models performing in a cover photo shoot for Amayzine.com in which they had to embody different iconic supermodels. After the final results were shown, Aisha was eliminated from the competition. She was followed by Debbie later that night. The SMS voting began, and at the end of the night, Nicky was crowned as the winner.
