Top Model, Cycle 4 is the fourth cycle of an ongoing reality documentary based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model that pits contestants from Poland against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win the title of the next Polish Top Model.[1] Among the prizes are a lucrative modeling contract with NEXT Model Management as well as an appearance on the cover of the Polish issue of Glamour and 100,000 złotys (US$30,000). The campaign with Max Factor featured in previous cycles has been dropped.

Original Air Date: September 22, 2014
Before moving into their new home, the contestants are put to the test with their very first challenge - walking down the runway on revolving platforms. Most of the women fail to cross the entire way without falling, with the exception of Marta. Most of the male models stumble before crossing the entire way. Due to her agility on the catwalk, Marta is deemed as the winner of the challenge.
- Challenge Winner: Marta Sędzicka
Afterwards, the finalists are immediately driven to their new home. For having won the challenge, Marta is allowed to pick two contestants who will be the first to enter the house with her while the rest of the models are forced to wait outside. She chooses Ola Z. and Michał K. The following day, makeovers take place. Ola Z. and Marta have the most trouble accepting their makeovers.
For the photo shoot the models must pose in a slaughter house while they wear pieces of meat as garments incorporated into their outfits. They are overseen by judges Michał Pirog and Joanna Krupa. Marta, Michał B, Michalina, Misza and Osi all perform well on set. Ewelina feels uncomfortable posing with the meat, while Adam's repeated stabbing of one of the carcasses upsets Joanna. Michał K. and Mateusz M. struggle the most, both finding it hard to come up with natural and diverse poses.
At panel, Michał B. receives best photo. Meanwhile, Adam, Ola and Karolina are called forward as the bottom three. Ola and Adam are declared safe, and Karolina is eliminated from the competition.

Episode 6

The contestants return home from the previous elimination to find a note from Michał K. written on the bathroom mirror. The models suggest that the message 'stop staring at the mirror' was directed at Mateusz M. Several of the contestants believe that Mateusz should have been eliminated instead of Michał. They continue to lay into him at dinner later that night.
For the challenge, the contestants must walk on the runway with clothing from three different designers. After being interviewed by them, they must guess what articles of clothing they are wearing belong to which designer. Mateusz M and Ewelina are able to match all of the clothes with the right designer, but it is Ewelina who is revealed to be the challenge winner.
- Challenge Winner: Ewelina Pachucka
The following day, the models are taken to a landfill for their photo shoot. Ola Z, Ewelina, Marta, Misza, and Osi all do well. Mateusz M. is asked to look less feminine in his photos, while Mateusz J. is asked to look more elegant. Michalina and Ola G struggle most.
At panel, Ewelina, Mateusz M, Misza, and Marta all receive positive feedback. Adam is chastised for the 'lack of fashion' in his photo. Michalina and Ola G receive the most negative critiques.
