10 girls from all over Asia arrived in Singapore for the competition. Host Charmaine meets them outside the house they’ll be staying in and tells them about the bed situation. The girls race in to get the first pick of their beds. Next, the girls head to The Red Dot Design Museum where Rick Tan, model-turned-host and the catwalk expert, teaches them different styles of walking before having a catwalk challenge. Back at the house, Charmaine comes to tell the rules and they have one last call to their loved one. The models are tested on their courage and confidence in showing off their catwalk and posing skills but this will take place in front of a very public audience in Orchard Road. They have to time their pace according to the lights at the pedestrian crossing and still be able to strike a pose.

The models head to Toni & Guy Hair Studio to have their makeover. Afterward, the girls are put to the test by styling themselves using TopShop clothes and M.A.C. cosmetics based on their new look while only having 5 minutes, with the winner winning a 500$ worth of M.A.C. cosmetics. The models then head to GeoffStudio for a Her World magazine cover photoshoot, where they learn not all shoots take place in spacious conditions. The models have to pose in a tiny photo booth where tight, close-up shots are taken for the Cover Challenge.

The remaining models have a morning stint on an inverted bungee ride. With their nerves still ajitter, they head to Jitterbugs Dance Studio for a dance lesson with show choreographer Misha Hajab. After learning some dance moves, the girls are split into 3 teams for a challenge to choreograph their own creative ending to a song, with the winners winning a spa package. The models then head to GeoffStudio for the next photoshoot. This time, fashion choreographer Rizal Ahyar styles the girls and colorful scarves are tied to their wrists for dramatic effect. Here’s where their experience on the inverted bungee and dance class come to play as they try to strike graceful poses and maintaining control of their facial expressions as they will pose while jumping on the trampoline.

The remaining models head to Honey Pot Waxing Boutique for their Brazilian waxes and then on to bikini shopping at Rip Curl, Paragon, with model Elaine Daly. After that, the girls and Elaine hang out by the pool where she gets to know them a bit better. The girls went to Olivier Henry’s studio to have their next photoshoot inspired by the movie Stockholm Syndrome, where they had to reenact a kidnapping scenario.

The remained models arrived at The Red Dot Design Museum, where they met actress Irene Ang who teaches them how to act. The girls are assigned to act like animals and ‘interact’ with one another through animal actions and sounds. After which, the girls are given some props and they must ‘sell’ these products according to specific themes. Later, the girls are split into 3 teams and given revised movie scenarios for an act-out challenge. The winner gets a shopping spree at River Island, VivoCity. The girls then arrived at Milk Photography for a close-up natural beauty shoot with Olivier Henry. Instead of the usual fashion poses, the girls use their facial expressions to express their inner emotions while sitting in a small booth with natural lighting from the window.
