Team Michael and team Thomas were divided to two islands - Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. After arriving at their new accommodation, they soon noticed all luxury and glamour was gone.

After finishing the photo shoot in the dunes, the girls in team Michael faced a runway challenge featuring Toni. Team Thomas continued on the beach for their first shoot. While the whole group received praise for their results, Heidi called out Saskia and Lara-Kristin as the weakest of the group. At elimination, the unsafe contestants were Fred, Lara-Kristin, Saskia, Sophie and Laura Penelope, who was originally safe from elimination but landed in the bottom for refusing to have her dreadlocks cut, and was given the choice of staying in the competition on the condition that she allow her dreadlocks to be cut, or going home. Out of the unsafe girls from team Michael (Fred and Sophie), Fred was eliminated, and out of those from team Thomas (Lara-Kristin and Saskia), Saskia was sent home, while Laura Penelope decided against her makeover and was also out of the competition. After the airing of the episode, it was revealed by ProSieben that Luisa from team Michael withdrew from the competition for personal reasons before the other members of team Michael travelled to Fuerteventura.
