Episode 3: Thousands of pounds hanging on the catwalk
First aired 18 June 2023
In this episode, the 14 models had 2 minutes to perform catwalk from the backstage. The mentors of the other teams could bring any challenges and judged their performances. With a total of 14 points, Tuấn Ngá»Âc had the highest scores from the mentors, therefore he won the master class.
Each team had to send one person to perform a continuous catwalk through five obstacles in five groups. Because team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triá»Âu was down by one member, one of their models had to perform the challenge twice. Team Anh Thð won the challenge with a total of 100 points, and all 5 members of the team will be walking for Adrian Anh Tuấn's latest fashion show. Although Tuấn Ngá»Âc & Tuấn Anh were mainly considered for elimination, the losing mentors ultimately nominated Hoàng Há»Âc & Hoàng Oanh. Anh Thð gave the two nominees a challenge in which they had to change their outfits and performed catwalk once again. After seeing Hoàng Há»Âc failed to wear shoes when wearing an oversized fishtail dress, Anh Thð eliminated her from the competition.

Episode 8: The Spectacular Comeback
First aired 30 July 2023
In this episode, the 7 eliminated models were shot a set of between 5 and 8 photos for a furniture brand named Phá» Xinh. After that, they had to present their products and photos by themselves. Cẩm ÃÂan, Tuấn Anh & Kim Ngân were deemed the best performer of each team. Despite being scolded by guest judge Naomi Thá»§y Nguyá»Â
n for failing to control her emotions, Cẩm ÃÂan had the best photo, therefore she won the challenge and returned to the competition.
- Return: <span style="color:#1CADE4;">Nguyá»Â
n Thá» Cẩm ÃÂan</span>
The remaining 8 models were filmed a 90-second promotional video for Phá» Xinh furniture brand. Each team wrote their own script and cast their roles in the settings and locations, before having 1 hour to film (All three teams were required to do it at the same time). While Tuấn Ngá»Âc & Hðáng Liên were chosen by the brand, team Anh Thð won the challenge. Tuấn Ngá»Âc, despite having booked for job, was nominated to protect his teammates. Team Thu Phðáng, on the other hand, nominated Xuân Hạnh because they thought Phðáng Vy would be in the darkroom. Anh Thð was angered by Tuấn Ngá»Âc's appearance in the darkroom, therefore she called Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triá»Âu. She even forced them to sacrifice one of them if they wanted Tuấn Ngá»Âc to stay. After an intense argument between the three mentors and producer Trang Lê, Anh Thð temporarily spared the nominees and gave the other mentors 10 minutes to reconsider their nominations. Since the mentors did not change their nominees (especially Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triá»Âu did not care), Anh Thð ultimately eliminated Tuấn Ngá»Âc, although she acknowledged that he was a strong contender.
