Week 1
The top 13 arrive in New York City, and are excited to start their journey. They move in to the Model House, where they get acquainted with one another and settled in. This doesn't last long, when they receive their first model mail, warning them to BLING it to their first photoshoot. The girls arrive on set, and are shocked to find out their first photoshoot in the competition will be a nude shoot with luxurious jewelry. A majority of the girls show comfortability in their own skin, like the sexy construction worker from Holland named Finn. Chiyoko and Zoe, winners of the mini-search 9.5 both delivered great shots. But it was Parisian party-girl Reaux who rocked the first shoot. Glamour model Magdalena delivered a tacky performance. Pre-show favorite Mel delivered one of the weakest shots ever seen on ENTM. Fleur, half of the super lesbian power-couple this season, was in the bottom for her timid, non-sexy photo. The judges ripped the girls to shred at panel, but in the end, Mel was cut first, despite being gorgeous and modelesque. 12 girls remain, WHO will be cut next?

Week 2
The girls got makeovers, which gave to different reactions. Some girls embraced their new looks, like Ashaya and Finn. While others were a bit more emotional, like Reaux, who rejected an afro, but opted for a shorter cut in a different color. Afterwards, the girls did a natural beauty shoot. Modeling their new makeovers, the girls had to exude natural beauty and confidence. Ashaya embraced her new look, and got FCO. Shizuka let her new bob-cut hamper her performance, while Zourab's boy-cut didn't fight her aging look, despite being 19, and she was sent home. 11 girls remain, WHO will be eliminated next?

Week 3
The girls are relieved to have survived another week of competition. They are glad Zourab went, feeling she lacked model appeal and fresh-looks. Magdalena is glad to finally call home, but finds out by her best friend that she and her boyfriend have a warrant for their arrest back home in Brazil. Magdalena is charged with second-degree murder and accessory to a crime, and must be extradited back to Brazil to face charges. It is revealed that she and her boyfriend murdered an elderly nun years ago, and the crime was recently solved, implicating the two. She is shocked, and is whisked out of the house by the producers. The girls are rattled, shocked at having lived under one roof with a criminal! As the girls process this, they receive their Model Mail for the week, telling them of their upcoming shoot. The next morning, the girls go to the studio, where they find Sandra with top fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, who will be shooting the girls for the week. The girls are excited to shoot as film noirs, but aren't too happy when Sandra reveals that Zourab will be returning to the competition in the place of Magdalena. At panel, Karin reveals Domenico and Stefano had to depart from ENTM's panel, and will be replaced by none other than editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, Franca Sozzani, with whom the winner will have a cover and spread in her magazine. The girls are nervous, and get eaten alive by the panel, chiefly Chiyoko, who delivered a dismal shot. Charlie is admired for her androgynous beauty, while her lover Fleur left the panel underwhelmed, yet again. Reaux reigns victorious, receiving another FCO. In the end, the lovers are separated, as Fleur is eliminated from the competition. With 10 girls remaining, who will be in, and who will be out?

Week 4
Charlie is in shock at her lover's elimination. Despite her heartbreak, she is determined to win, not only for herself, but for Fleur. The girls arrive at the shoot where they find out they will be posing topless save for a pair of jeans, and posing with a male model. This makes the girls uneasy, especially Shizuka, who contemplates quitting. Zourab, despite being unfavored by the others, delivers a stunning photo. Ashaya uses her partner to her ability, while mid-pack Zoe delivers is a striking shot! In the end, front-runner Reaux and bottom-two returnee Chiyoko were the last two standing. Reaux, for her lack of emotion, and Chiyoko, for her awkward shot. The judges struggled with the decision. Reaux was a frontrunner, and Chiyoko was improving, despite her shortcomings. In the end, Chiyoko simply didn't have what it takes to be a top model, and was sent home. With only 9 remaining, WHO will go next?

Week 5
The top 9 return to the house. Zoe is sad her 9.5 partner Chiyoko was eliminated, but is happy to still be in. She's hungry for this, and will do whatever it takes to win. Ashaya hits hard times in the competition, and struggles at the photoshoot--a Glamourous shoot inside an Ice Cellar. Despite this harsh environment, and the pressure of being shot by renown photographer Rolston, she gets FCO at panel. Struggling Steinn delivers a great shot! Shizuka and Zoe land in the bottom. Shizuka, who despite being 23 has top model potential, let her insecurities get the better of her, while Zoe let her hunger and desire scramble her concentration at the shoot. In the end, BOTH girls were cut in a shocking double elimination! But if you thought this was the only twist this week, you were wrong! The top 7 are surprised with a trip to Dubai! Now that 7 are remaining, who will be the first girl to go in Dubai?

Week 6
The final 7 arrive in Dubai, awestruck by its extravagent luxury and sky-high buildings. The girls reach the Burj al Arab, the famous hotel that is the largest building on Earth! Sandra informs the girls that this will be their home in Dubai, and they are more than excited! However, their first shoot in Dubai is here at the island on which this hotel was built. In sexy swimwear, the girls turned up the heat in Dubai. Despite Finn's recent weight-gain, she delivered a fan-favourite photo, and got FCO. Zourab was most-improved, rocking the shoot in Dubai. However, it was Bjork's continually dismal performance and Reaux's rapid decline that saw them in the bottom two, where you KNOW they didn't want to be. In a shocking twist, the girls both had tied scores. In order to break the tie, Karin decided who should go, and it was Bjork's lack of potential that saw her eliminated in Dubai. Only 6 girls remain, WHO WILL GO NEXT?

Week 7
The girls are shocked by the events of last week's elimination; however, the girls are relieved Bjork got cut; to the girls, she had the most potential to win. Reaux feels like she's slipping under, and needs to redeem herself in order to win. She gets her chance at the photoshoot when the girls arrive in the middle of the desert. Draped in couture, the girls are shot by Steven Meisel. Charlie and Finn work it, while perfectionist Ashaya crumbles. At panel, the judges applaud Charlie's shot, giving her a perfect score, citing her photo as the "greatest photo in the history of Elouai's Next Top Model", while Zourab was criticized for her lack of effort. In the end, Reaux's harsh photo and Zourab's lazy shot saw them in the bottom 2, but it was Reaux's dip and dive throughout the competition that had her eliminated. The final 5 are flown to Italia where they'll be for the remainder of the competition. A runway show for top label Gucci and a surprising twist awaits them! WHO will be eliminated?

Week 8
The final 5 arrive in Italy. Shown to their suite, they unwind, if only for a while. Ashaya and Charlie grow close in the competition. Ashaya begins to question her sexuality, as she begins to feel attracted to Charlie, despite her having a girlfriend. Zourab is feeling insecure after being the in the bottom two. She fears she's failed to use her second chance to the best of her advantage. However, her chance to improve comes when the girls finally arrive at Milano Fashion Week. There they find Franca Sozzani, and designer for Gucci Frida Giannini. The girls are excited to find out that they'll be walking in Gucci's Spring/Summer 2010 show. Ashaya redeems herself from last week, while Charlie again proves she can be a model. Zourab works her walk as best she could. But at panel it's Finn who gets so-so comments. Zourab gets called first, but in an ENTM-first is actually ELIMINATED, as Karin's first photo is actually blank. Ashaya and Charlie pass on to the next round, leaving Finn and Steinn in the bottom two. Finn for her decent performances week-to-week, but a lack of supermodel appeal and presence. Steinn, on the other hand, has coasted, neither producing a bad photo, nor a good photo. Her runway was okay, but she failed to leave an impression on anyone. In a shocking turn, Steinn stays over Finn. Only 3 girls remain: Ashaya, Charlie, and Steinn! WHO will go to the finale?

Week 9
In a dramatic turn of events, only three remain. The top 3 are shocked, but excited to be here. Charlie and Ashya begin to grow close, and share a passionate kiss. This poses a problem for Ashaya, who is struggling with her sexuality, as well as Charlie, who has a relationship back home. The two are growing immensely attracted to eachother, but a dramatic phone-call to Fleur sends Charlie in tears, as she has to choose between Fleur and Ashaya. Who will she choose? (Find out at the FINALE) The top 3 arrive at Lake Cuomo, where they find Romy, Franca, and top photographer Mario Testino. Romy reveals that she will be styling the girls in this photoshoot: on board a luxurious yet high-speed yacht for the cover of Vogue Italia. Seeing 3 of fashion's most important people on set, the girls are nervous. At panel, the judges receive the girls' photos disappointingly. All 3 were beautiful, but none were worthy of the cover of Vogue Italia. Charlie got FCO, leaving top contender Ashaya and coasting queen Steinn in the bottom two. Both are strong girls, but both let themselves get in their own way. In the end, ALL three were safe, now battling it out at the live finale in Rome, where of the 3, only ONE will become Elouai's Next Top Model! It all comes down to THIS!

Week 10
The finale in the Colosseum in Rome begins with a live performance by Gossip! and a catwalk featuring past eliminees. Sandra emcees as the final 3 girls strut their stuff. Steinn is 2nd runner-up, and leaves with dignity. The ENTM cast-offs, final 2, and some professional models do a catwalk for Balmain Spring/Summer 2010, and Karin comes onstage to talk to Charlie and Ashaya about their journies. Ashaya was consistent, but borderline one-note. Charlie began badly, but soared to new heights. After some more performances from Gossip! and A Classic Education, 19 year-old Ashaya Harris was crowned ENTM10; however, in a shocking turn of events, the scores weren't counted until the moment Karin announced the winner. The scores showed that Charlie Van Brussel was the real winner. This shocking twist was a perfect end to this high-glamour, high-drama, over the top cycle!
