Georgina and Alex arrived in the house where they challenged the girls to wear their best casting outfits in under two minutes. Monika, Tahlia, Gani and Amanda received praise from the duo.

Tensions rose again after Tahlia confronted Kiana about her state as a member of the household. The girls held a discussion which led to a heated argument between Monika and Kiana.

The morning after the models took part in their second photo shoot, where they were assigned different themes and were styled by the person behind Shinee's signature looks, Ha Sang Beg from Korea.

At judging, Aimee, Lorretta and Barbara were critiqued for not working well as a group. Aimee was criticized for being lazy and was advised to work out her body more. Lorretta was told that there was a disconnect between her face and body, while Barbara failed to execute the brief. Franchesca, Monika and Amanda's photo was praised as a group shot but individually, the judges felt they fell short having only Franchesca to uplift the photo. Melissa, Gani and Celine received universal praise for their photo, as they fulfilled the brief. Tahlia, KB, Kiana and Rani delivered mixed results. Kiana was highly critiqued for her slacked-off pose. During elimination, Melissa, Gani, and Celine received best photo as a trio (a first for Indonesia and Vietnam, respectively).

Episode 3: The Girl Who Dreads a Makeover

First aired: April 8, 2015

The remaining twelve models went back to the model house after the elimination. Aimee and Amanda were relieved that they were safe from the bottom three last week but were also saddened that Kiana left. The next morning, the contestants were surprised with freebies from TRESemmé, which contained hair products such as shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, and hair dryer, then followed by a Georgina Mail stating that they would have their makeovers.

The models went to the Kimage Hair Studio for their makeovers. Georgina along with TRESemmé professional head stylist Lourd Ramos and model mentor Joey met them. They had a quick chat about their makeovers. Georgina said Barbara's head would be shaved but infact she was just kidding and she's going to get a short hair which concerned her. Melissa would get a pixie cut. Aimee would get a full fringe, jet black hair while Tahlia would get a strawberry blonde long bob. When the makeover started, Barbara was really scared. She started crying when she felt that her head almost had no hair. Lourd said the more she cried the shorter it would be. Joey started comforting her. Lourd gave Celine and Gani a short hair, wherein Celine said her sex appeal would disappear.

When it was time to see their makeovers, Melissa was shocked and saw a totally different person. Amanda thought she looked sophisticated and older with her new hair. Gani liked her blunt cut. Tahlia said her hair was so blonde, Monika didn't see herself same (just like Aimee), who said that she didn't know the girl in the mirror. Rani thought her old hair was still better. Lorretta thought her makeover wasn't too drastic. Franchesca felt very young. Georgina said KB's old hair would not book her any jobs. Celine thought she looked strange but she liked it. Barbara felt better after she cried and she actually liked her hair saying that she looked expensive, and said that the hair would be even more amazing if it was a bit shorter. After the makeovers, they went home and immediately rushed to the mirrors to scrutinize every single detail of their new hair to figure out their new best angles.

On the day of the photo shoot, Joey was there to mentor the girls along with their photographer, Olaf Mueller. Joey said their hair was one of their jewels so they would pair it up with some diamond jewelry from Temptations Jewelry. Rani was feeling nauseous right before the photo shoot. Franchesca and Lorretta comforted her while she was throwing up. Joey went to the comfort room to tell Rani that she will call a doctor. Dr. Kwan checked her up and said she had a bad flu. She was injected three times. In the photo shoot, Aimee, Monika, Celine, Amanda, Franchesca and Melissa did very well; while Barbara, who was so stiff and said that the cause of which was the red lipstick she's wearing. KB, Gani, Tahlia, Lorretta, and Rani who felt better after her check up, struggled.

At panel, Aimee, Amanda, Franchesca, Melissa and Monika received good reviews for their shots, the others gained lukewarm reactions and while Barbara, KB, Rani and Lorretta received negative feedback from the judges. Aimee garnered best photo and had risen from the bottom to the top. Due to over-thinking and not understanding the concept of high fashion, Lorretta landed in the bottom two with Rani, who was questioned for her ability to push her boundaries. Georgina handed the last photo to Lorretta resulting in Rani's elimination. She left her drum sticks in the model house to serve as a remembrance of her to the remaining girls.

Lorretta's prize for winning the challenge was a shopping spree of $1,000 at MAC cosmetics which she shared with KB because they were both partners in the challenge. Most girls, especially Melissa, noticed that the house had become messy and no one would clean their trash. Joey visited the girls at their home and told the girls some stories. Monika cried because she has not won any challenge or best photo yet, and she aimed to win it in the next photo shoot.

The next day, the girls headed to Manhattan Bar, where they met Joey and Manhattan-based designer Peter Som for their photo shoot, which was showing romance with a male model. Most girls struggled during their sessions especially Lorretta, Gani, Celine, Franchesca and Barbara. Also, Barbara said that the model looks like her ex-boyfriend. The girls who excelled were Amanda, Aimee, Monika and Melissa.

At panel, Monika, Amanda, KB and Aimee received praise for their photos. While most of the girls received negative feedback from the judges and Georgina revealed to Barbara that the model she worked with was a cousin of her ex-boyfriend. Gani was noted for looking too stiff in her photo, but Georgina told her that it worked well in her shot. Barbara and Lorretta were criticized for giving photos that looked more like a mother to son relationship, but Lorretta's photo was in lack of emotion. Celine and Franchesca were criticized for having flat photos. At elimination, Monika received best photo for her performance at the photo shoot. Celine, Franchesca and Lorretta landed in the bottom three: Franchesca for having a major downfall despite improving throughout the competition, Celine for having a flat photo and slow improvement through the comeptition, and Lorretta for having an expressionless and awkward photo.

The girls went on to a workshop that will absolutely bring smiles as Dr. Cecile Infantado taught the girls how to get that picture-perfect smile. Then the girls took on to an acting class with Indonesian TV Personality Daniel Mananta. All of the girls were given specific task by him to do basic acting play role. Amanda struggled to portray her role to be angry and ended up refusing to act.

The next day, the models applied what they've learned from Dr. Cecile Infantado, as they were challenged to capture that perfect selfie, but with the members of the public. The models head on to the mall and searched for that one hot guy to take a selfie with. The girls struggled but it was to be Barbara's second challenge win, winning her a dinner date with Daniel Mananta.

• Challenge Winner: Barbara Katsuki

Back at the model house, Gani started becoming conscious on her smile, the girls however, believed otherwise. The smiles continued in their photo shoot for Close-Up Diamond Attraction Ad campaign with photographer Mike Rosenthal. Mike stated beforehand that for this session he would give no or little instruction for the girls to strike a pose whichever they felt suit them best. Gani initially struggled but ultimately brought back her A-game in the middle of the shoot. Monika excelled as Filipino compatriots, while Amanda and Franchesca struggled; Amanda giggled a lot during the session, while Franchesca posed at certain facial angles of hers all the time.

At panel, Aimee, Barbara, Gani, Melissa and Monika were acclaimed by the judges while Tahlia and KB received lukewarm comments from the judges. Amanda and Franchesca failed to impress the judges. Gani and Monika were singled out as the two stand-outs of the week's photo shoot. Georgina revealed one of their photos would run as an actual commercial ad for Close-Up and asked both girls to give their argument on why one should be chosen over the other. Ultimately, Monika was chosen for the ad, receiving her second best photo in a row. Amanda and Franchesca ended up in the bottom two both for their mediocre photos, but the former was given her photo after being pushed by the panel to act angry at Daniel, which she turned out to be quite successful in doing so.

At the photo shoot, Tahlia was granted five extra minutes, for a total of twenty, while the other girls were given fifteen. Despite the extended session, Tahlia still struggled doing the shoot. Monika had to work all three outfits in ten minutes and also struggled to compose herself on set.

Joey visited the girls in the model house. She was disgusted by the lack of cleanliness of the whole house and let the girls clean it. She said they need to maintain the cleanliness of their environment in order to clear their minds for every photo shoot.

On the photo shoot day, they met the executive director of Tan Chong International, Glenn Tan. The winner of the photo shoot would become the new Subaru brand ambassador.

Georgina told them that they could go home if they would not do it. Gani then decided to do it as she wanted to try something new. However, Tahlia still took some time to decide if she would participate. Monika and Barbara took risks and impressed the photographer and the judges despite only having ten frames. Gani and KB impressed everyone as well, especially Gani for facing her fears. Aimee, Tahlia, Melissa, and Amanda struggled. Aimee, despite having a lot of energy could not put the right expression into her shots. Tahlia was uncomfortable and showed a lack of confidence during her session. Melissa was too stiff. Amanda had her blinking problem.

At the model house, Gani and Monika had a feud. Gani thought Monika was a bit disgusting because a yogurt container had some peanut butter on it and the last one who ate peanut butter was Monika, which angered her. Monika replied that it was unfair that Gani was talking behind her back, while Gani also said Monika also offended her by saying that Indonesians will never win this competition, which Monika later clarified that it was just a joke. This made Gani even angrier and refused to talk to Monika furthermore.

At the panel, Monika, Barbara, KB, and Gani were praised for their photos. Amanda received lukewarm comments while Aimee, Tahlia, and Melissa got the worst comments. Monika was the standout, having her third first call-out and became the newest Subaru brand ambassador. Glenn Tan was impressed with Barbara and chose her to become the second brand ambassador. Tahlia and Melissa found themselves in the bottom two. Tahlia was criticized for displaying an attitude of almost refusing to participate in the shoot and eventually resulting in a lackluster photo, while Melissa was noted for being too stiff in her photo, disappointing the client.

Tahlia had her health checked, as she felt strange the past few days, and started speculating it was a breast lump, as her mother and grandmother passed away from breast cancer. Having checked at the hospital, she apparently has four benign breast lumps and still has to check herself up routinely.

The girls headed on to their challenge. They were introduced to the latest runway hair trends by Georgina and TRESemmé expert stylist, Giovanni Wihayak, and were given thirty minutes to recreate such.

Aimee and Monika did well too, while Amanda kept delivering great body poses but the facial expression was continuously flat throughout her session.
