We didn’t know THAT nickname. Fair mood at “Germany’s Next Topmodel”!
On Thursday evening, the model candidates had to pose as part of a giant gripper machine on Venice Beach. While Heidi Klum (49) was chatting with candidate Nicole (49) from her shared flat, a candidate once again caused a lot of trouble.

While Nicole posed in front of the photographer Sheryl Nields on the gripping arm, Heidi said again that she lived with the “Best Ager” candidate in the 1990s in a model flat share in Milan. She already had a lot to tell about that time last week.
And even now she chatted away and remembered the time with Heidi Klum: “You really liked chocolate bons. You always had them scattered around your room.”
It wasn’t just this treat that Mrs. Klum was attracted to. Heidi reported another passion: “I remember them. I ate them non-stop. Then I always ate muffins. So many that they kept calling me ‘Muffin’.”
For Nicole, the time as a model definitely paid off. With her professional photo poses, she was well received by Heidi and Sheryl. But not every model made happy faces.

Trouble about Anya again
She polarizes like no other – as it did this week. Anya (19) couldn’t smile at the gripper arm shoot, although Heidi asked her to do so several times. Shortly thereafter, the model mom resigned: “I don’t think she wants to have fun.” A Klumsche lecture followed: “Imagine if I had been your customer today. If you have a job, you have to do what is asked of you!”
Anya didn’t try too hard when training for the Elimination Walk with choreographer Nikeata Thompson, but complained about a stiff neck. That didn’t go down well with Thompson: “Anya doesn’t run out of excuses.” The mood between Anya and her model colleagues was also tense – the announcement by Ida (23) after Leona (21) left last week was still in the air.

She had complained that some candidates were toying with the idea of moving out early, while others were being sent home involuntarily. She obviously meant Anya, who now defended herself: “Simply because I don’t know living with so many girls. I didn’t imagine it to be so blatant!” Somajia (21) found clear words: “If you buckle halfway, then go!”

The discussions after Leona’s departure did not pass by Heidi either. She addressed Ida directly and wanted to know who she meant by her statements: “I wanted to ask you if you could tell me who that is?”
She didn’t name any names – but Anya explained to Heidi after her walk: “I’m actually one of the people she meant by that. I had no reference person in the villa. I didn’t feel welcome.” But she also insisted: “Just because I thought about going home once, I would never do it.”
Ina has to leave GNTM
Anya almost had to leave “Germany’s Next Top Model” anyway – her performance was not particularly well received. The elimination walk to the legendary Versace dress by Jennifer Lopez (53) for the 2000 Grammy Awards was canceled in the second GNTM week due to a storm and has now been made up for.

Anya, however, was again criticized by Nikeata: “Running is not good today. Very strange.” When the decision was announced with Ina (44) and Mirella (20), Anya shed so many tears that Heidi felt sorry: “Is everything okay, Anya? Can I do anything for you?” She was still struggling with her performance: “The fact that I couldn’t do it today makes me so tired!”
However, Anya was lucky – Ina’s end followed shortly afterwards. Not only had she had problems during the shoot, but Nikeata hadn’t liked the walk either: “You weren’t ready and it didn’t look good.”
The next week could get to the substance of the models even more: in the big interview, the candidates will be properly put through the wringer.
