Next, the contestants were each given a runway walking lesson by Judge Colin  Mathura-Jeffree and international fashion designer, Alexandra Owen. After an interview in front of all three judges, Sara Tetro, Colin Mathura-Jeffree & Chris Sisarich, the girls faced elimination. They rushed into a room with mannequins that held the name tags of the top 21 girls. The 12 girls who didn't have name tags were eliminated immediately. The remaining 21 girls each posed as Vintage Hollywood Movie Stars with Russ Flatt, one of NZ's leading photographers. After much deliberation by the judges on how the girls performed in their photo shoot, it was time for the next elimination. Gathered  together in one room, there were tears from many of the remaining 21 as they waited for their name to be called. Sara called forward 13 girls and then in a shocking twist, she revealed that the decision on whom to take to Auckland had been too difficult and that they would actually be taking 14 girls. Holly was the 14th and final contestant to make it through the round. Episode 2: The Girls Move To The Top Model House. Original Airdate: 13 August 2010 The Girls relocate to the Top Model house and within moments of arrival, tension arises  as Holly stirs up drama in the house. The girls then do a challenge to test their personal style. Some of the girls struggled but Elza was named the winner of the challenge. The girls meet with Colin and required them to be suspended in midair while posing at the same time. Most girls struggled such as Amelia who was said to be too "hoochie" and Danielle who appeared to be completely lost but it was Aafreen who outshined all the other girls with her diverse poses and her great understanding of her angles. The girls then returned to the  Top Model House and already girls have been segregated with girls talking about each other behind backs, especially Holly and Dakota who express their dislike for Amelia. The girls arrive at their first official photoshoot which is photographed by Rob Trathen. Michaela, Elza, Courtenay and Aafreen all brought elegance to their set while others failed to make an impression such as Danielle who stopped after 3 frames as she ran out of poses and didn't know what she was doing anymore. This caused her to break down in tears after her shoot. At panel, Holly is criticized for lacking  any presence in her eyes and Aafreen is praised for having the ability to appear racially ambiguous. Elza, Michaela and Eva all amaze the judges with their photos while Nellie is criticized for laughing during the challenge thus insulting their client, causing her to cry at the panel.

Dakota wasn't focused or aware of her body, and Colin said Jamie had no energy and "looked anaemic". Amelia was praised for her maturity and confidence. Back at the house the girls received Sara Mail which told them to "pack their bags" getting many of the girls excited thinking it was international travel; the last line of the mail said "get ready  to roll" and Holly pointed out that it would only be a road trip. The girls took the bus to Jamie and Amelia's home town of Rotorua. When they arrived they met Chris who gave them their challenge for the week, it was to strike several poses inside a Zorb while it was rolling. Many of the girls struggled. Nellie got stuck in the opening of the Zorb halfway through her turn, Danielle nearly fell out and hit her head on the ground, Eva was praised for her grace and poise but it was Courtenay who won because of  her variety of poses and engagement with the camera, she picked Eva to share in her prize of a spa treatment.

At panel, Lara, Michaela, Elza & Danielle pulled off stellar photos. Amelia was criticized for her lack of poses and tendency to be too "hoochy". Holly was criticized for being too dependent on the photographer's direction as with Jamie and Dakota for their lackluster shots.

Amelia's confidence was blown by a negative racial comment by a man on the street, Eva was too shy, Courtenay was only remembered for her haircut, Lara was overconfident and Dakota was inappropriate once again and commented "it would be easier to sell crack". Elza performed well but it was Holly who won for her personality and quick thinking. The reward was a  photoshoot for Herbal Essence which would appear in Cleo Magazine. Back at the house, Danielle was upset over a dream she had about a close friend of hers dying in a car crash which was made worse by her finding out later that it was true.

Then, they were  told that three girls would be selected to stay late and shoot more of the video underwater.

They will be posing with Ford Fiesta posing in an explosive James Bond style. Before the start of the shoot, Lara was told she was the challenge winner and won the prize. During the shoot, Dakota's uncoordinated running photographed well, Danielle's bad girl attitude worked well and Michaela's breakdown saying she was distracted for not being picked for the Opshop  video didn't pan out well in her photoshoot. Elza became ill due to exhaustion from the music video and was seen to by an ambulance, Nellie was distracted during her shoot worrying about her sister. Elza came right and performed well during her shoot. At panel, the girls were informed they were off to Phuket, Thailand but only 6 of them were going.

At the start of the episode Michaela shares her sympathy and difficulty she is facing without Courtenay there, but that alone will make her want to win harder , she also shares that she feels so happy and privileged.

The girls go immediately into hair & makeup. Michaela is up first who is feeling strongly confident that she will succeed in her performance. She  delivers a 'flawless' commercial and Drayton is impressed by how she used her hands. When she has her CoverGirl photo, Colin calls her a breath of fresh air, and she manages to get a great shot. Danielle confesses that she couldn't be bothered learning her lines and once in front of the camera finds it nearly impossible to deliver her first sentence, in the end she has to use cue cards. She breaks down in the middle of the shoot because of her fear of failing, Colin quotes that she didn't make much effort into learning her lines . She appears relaxed in her photoshoot. Elza walks onto her commercial confident and ready. She delivers a 'good' performance and Tony Drayton quotes that she had 'Wonderful energy & looked the part.

She is instantly praised for her clear happy commercial and brilliant photoshoot which showed off her piercing green  eyes. The judges all agree that Michaela's effort in the CoverGirl challenge was flawless. Elza is criticized for winking and throwing her hair back in the commercial by Sara and the judges all agree that her photo looks more like an artistic portrait than a beauty shot. Danielle breaks down while standing before the judges, she is also criticized for not learning her lines by Sara and told by special guest judge Cherie Mobberley that she obviously doesn't want to be a model if she doesn't want to learn her lines. She gets a great commercial but  only because of editing, but also gets a striking photo. Danielle and Elza end up in the bottom two. Elza because of lacking ability to perform in commercials and Danielle for the terrible commercial. In the end Elza is sent packing because Danielle's overall performance in the competition is better. Danielle and Michaela pack their bags for their final challenge, and are flown to Wellington where the journey began 12 weeks earlier. In the second half of the episode the girls arrive in Wellington and sit at the waterfront and recollect their memories of being among 30 other girls  in the same place only 12 weeks earlier. They arrive at the TSB Arena and get fitted for their costumes in the WOW World Of Wearable Arts Artistic Runway Show. One of Michaela's outfits is made from horse hair and Danielles ringleader outfit required her to be fitted into a corset. They are then taken through a rundown of the route they have to take on the runway since there are 5 different runways in the show. A couple of hours later, the stage is full of mystical creatures and bright marsion lighting. Danielle and Michaela wish each other  luck backstage then go on their way. Chris, Sara & Colin are seated in the front row to get a good view of the final two. Michaela enters the runway in her first costume and is quoted to look professional and relaxed. Danielle enters and is quoted as looking nervous and overwhelmed about wearing heels. In the second half of the show, Michaela is a Viking character and Danielle, a ringleader. Danielle forgets her choreography that they had learnt earlier and puts Michaela off, leaving her to forget her dance moves as well. Michaela worries that Danielle has ruined her chances  of winning now. The girls arrive at final judging and are reminded one last time about the luxury prizes that they will be receiving. Sara reminds Danielle of how modelesque she is and reminded her of what she said on the first day 'whether you like it or not, you are a model'. Sara shares that Michaela has always been consistent throughout the season, a stunning young girl, who shows maturity well beyond her 16 years. Colin also shares that Michaela looked amazing on the runway. The girls are sent out while the judges deliberate. The judges look over the  photos of the two girls throughout the season, Both girls seem to be tied on effort in their photos making it harder for the judges to find a winner. Michaela's weakness felt by the judges is that when she loses expression in her eyes, her photos are dull and her one look. While Danielle's weakness is her having difficulty to try new things and her tendency to get self-conscious. When the girls re-enter the room, Sara shares that Danielle has come along way, hit few speed bumps but got there while Michaela has been consistent and  rising in each photo. Danielle's face appears on the LCD Screen and she is announced the winner of the second season, and thus the first unconventional beauty and to claim the title. Michaela says in an emotional interview that she is going to still pursue modeling and buy a ford fiesta car with her own money. Danielle cannot believe that she has just won top model, especially because she only entered on a dare. Summaries. Average call-out order. Final two is not included.
