Week 1
The top 12 are selected, and whisked off to Warren Tricomi. They are met by top American supermodel Sandra Cleary, who is the new judge on panel and their model mentor this season. They receive their makeovers! Melina and Roxy keep their old looks, while Veronika, Rachel, and Lala go drastic. Charity's new look enhances her beauty, but she dislikes her new hair. Highlighted Lilac wasn't too keen on her new look either. Everyone is shocked by Rachel's transformation, and begin to worry about her doing well in this competition. Kaede's baby-doll bob makes the girls think she's playing a child's game. After that, the girls are sent to the photoshoot, where they again find Sandra, completely naked posing in flowers, having to evoke softness, femininity, and confidence. The girls are shocked they have to pose naked, and many are out of their element. 16 year-old Rachel is terrified, but delivers a stunning shot. Charity refuses to do the shoot, but eventually agrees to do it. Talulah was in her element, and delivered the best shot of the week. But it was Kaede and Veronika in the bottom. Both were beautiful but delivered mediocre shots. However, it was Kaede who was eliminated for her weak photo. At panel Sandra revealed the top 4 each week receive perks, and they were immediately whisked off to a dinner with her and Andre Leon Talley, who was guest-judge that week.

Week 2
The girls are feeling victorious after their first week, but are surprised by Sandra at the house, who gives them a runway lesson and then reveals their next elimination challenge: a runway shot in Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2010 pieces inspired by Menswear. The girls are told to exude androgyny: a mixture of subtle femininity and strong masculinity. Lala and Rachel showed their other side, and Sida worked after her dismal bottom three spot last week. At Panel, Jessica was guest judge, and the judges were disappointed in Lilac's dispassionate photo. However, in a Top Model first, Lilac stayed over Talulah, last week's FCO, who delivered a weak, catalogue performance on the catwalk. Shocked by this, Lilac vows to improve. The girls are shocked by this elimination, as Talulah was top earner in the competition. Sandra surprises the top 4, Lala, Rachel, Sida, and Kiana, with a trip to Paris for their Week 2 Perk Prize, where much fun and fashion will be had.

Week 3
While the top 4 are in Paris, they meet Galliano and are sent to Couture Week where they walk in Dior. Meanwhile, back in NYC, the other girls are slightly bummed they are not in Paris, but nonetheless happy to still be in the competition. Roxy is determined to improve herself, as is Lilac, who feels pressure in the competition. Sandra sends the girls video Model Mail, telling them their next shoot is on the rooftop. There they find Joshua Kebano, editor-in-chief of eL magazine. The girls shot in avant-garde swimwear on their house's rooftop, while the top 4 did the same shoot in Paris. At Panel Roxy shined, but Melina was basic and bland. However, Charity delivered her weakest performance yet, and asked to be eliminated. Starting a scene, she threatened the panel, and sent Karin in a fury. The top 6 this week got their photos in a spread for eL magazine, but the bottom 4 were chastized for their lack of progress. However, it was that jank bitch Charity who got her ass sent home.

Week 4
The girls arrive back home, where they find their next model mail. Driven to an unknown location, they find out they're at the Circus! Sandra informs them they must evoke creativity, fun, and fashion. Veronika gives up, while Roxy exudes determination on the heels of last week's success. Rachel tries a pantomime risk, but at Panel it's acrobatic Sida who receives FCO. Lilac's firey hooped photo was a hot mess, but it was Veronika who was asked to leave for clowning around at the shoot. The top 4 girls this week-- Sida, Roxy, Melina, and Rachel are whisked off to a Vogue Yacht Party, where the fashion gods (and some Real Housewives) await them!

Week 5
This week the girls arrived on set to find Mario Testino shooting with hot male models. The girls are excited, as it's been a month since they've been here and in need of some male company. However, Mario tells them they'll be shooting with eachother, in a sexy threesome shoot in lingerie. The girls are shocked, but for the most part they work well together. However, it's the REAL surprise at panel that has the models shaking in their stilletos, as the judges asked the girls themselves to pick a girl to eliminate. In the end, the girls felt Lala, Rachel, Roxy, and Sida had the most potential to be Elouai's Next Top Model, while Lilac had the least. Lilac was eliminated, and the top 4 beauties won a test-shoot with Mario Testino!

Week 6
As the girls returned home, they were surprised to find ENTM2 alumn and Swedish television-personality Portia Erickssen. With security and all, she treated the girls to cheap booze and take-out, dishing with them about the competition, house gossip, and modeling advice. The girls get a bit tipsy, and quite cozy with Portia, making out with her voraciously. The next day, hungover and all, the girls are again surprised when they find ENTM6 alumn and Prada muse Skye Artemieva shooting for Infusion D'Iris fragrance. She tells the girls they will be shooting a mini-advert for the fragrance by Prada. The girls are frustrated at this difficult challenge, except for Dawn, who embraces it. Many crack down this week, including Roxy, who nearly quit. Kiana breaks down, and as Dawn consoles her, Melina accuses her of talking smack about the other girls. The two begin to fight, but are quickly separated. At panel, the girls feel the pressure of the competition, as guest judges Skye and supermodel Claudia Schiffer are all but nice. The girls return after deliberation to find the room empty except for a German-speaking Claudia. Sida shines and books Prada Milano, having her ad featured internationally. Dawn also redeems herself from last week. However, Melina and Rachel are left in the bottom. Melina for her over-sexed performance that turned off the client, and Rachel for her mediocre performance. Despite it being her first time in the bottom, Rachel is eliminated. Confused at what just occured, Claudia briefly translates, and the girls discover they are being flown to Germany for their international destination! Hurriedly, they pack; but it's now the Top 2' model perk of the week, and Sida and Dawn receive first-class tickets for the long flight to Germany, where the final 6 will battle it out to become Elouai's Next Top Model for another action-packed week.

Week 7
The top 6 arrived in Berlin, where they stayed at Hotel Adlon, one of the most expensive hotels in Germany. The girls celebrated both Karin and Sandra's birthday. The girls awoke at 3AM for their first photoshoot in Berlin, shot by Juergen Teller. The girls had to evoke the cool edge of the Berlin fashionista but also retain sexiness and femininity. Roxy proved that she can work the adrogynous edge of the Berlin Fashion scene, while Melina and her hat failed to impress the panel. In the end; however, Kiana was the first to leave Berlin for her weak performance and descent in the competition.

Week 8
The final 5 feel the pressure of the competition now more than over. Tensions arise, especially between Dawn and Melina, who've haven't gotten along all cycle. This week the girls arrive at the shoot to find Sandra posing atop a BMW. Sandra tells them their shoot this week is a pin-up shoot posing on top of the car. The girls are excited, but as a whole, didn't do so hot at the shoot. Roxy; however, wins over both the public and the panel, but fails to win a Perk, as there are no more this season. Melina and Sida are styled and posed in the exact same way, and accusations of copy-catting, judging bias, and sabotage reach a boiling point in the competition. The two land in the bottom, but it's Melina who goes home for her inability to push beyond her pretty looks. 4 remain, and immediately find out that next week's special guest will be none other than Karl Lagerfeld. The girls are nervous to see what's in store for them next week.

Week 9
Karl Lagerfeld, this week's special guest, begins by giving the girls second-makeovers. He praises Dawn, who doesn't need a makeover. Roxy and Sida receive color-jobs and extensions, becoming new women again. Karl then takes the girls to the Black Forest, where they shoot in Chanel Haute Couture. Lala shows her softer side, while Sida stiffens. Dawn's lack of interest and Sida's lacklustre photo send these two girls in the bottom--but in a SHOCKING ENTM TWIST, the girls are tied, and all 4 go the finale at Berlin Fashion Week, where Dolce & Gabbana will close with their Fall/Winter 2010-11 collection, featuring the girls. Little do they know, 2 will be eliminated, thus leaving the final 2!

Week 10
The final 4 are shocked at the outcome of last week, but are excited to be in the finale. They meet Sandra at the tents, where they will walk on the catwalk in Dolce & Gabbana's show. It's the last show on the last day of Berlin Fashion Week, and all eyes will be on them. Noted European and other world Fashion greats will be in attendance, and the girls are more nervous than ever. Each girl rocked it, and are confident in their performances. At the Hotel, Karin calls in each girl one by one. No one knows what is happening. Both Dawn and Sida are eliminated, thus leaving Lala and Roxy in the final 2. After this week, they will head to the live finale, where the public will vote and determine just who will become Elouai's Next Top Model.

Week 11
As the girls toured around Berlin and relaxed after nearly three draining months of photoshoots and eliminations, the public voted for their pick to win. At the live finale, Lady Gaga performed and the eliminated models put on a show. Lala was praised for her edgy look and strong sense of self, while Roxy was regarded for her transformation. In the end, it was 19 year-old Roxy Elabd who won Elouai's Next Top Model 7. Her strong androgyny and high-fashion appeal as well as her strong worth ethic throughout the competition were her key to the title.
