GNTM season seven: Makeovers and double elimination
Overview
The seventh season of the fashion reality competition GNTM premiered on Star Channel, featuring a revamped production and judging panel. Iliana Papageorgiou serves in a dual role as host and judge, joined by Lakis Gavalas, Angelos Bratis, and new addition Betty Maggira. Genevieve Mazari continues as Creative Director.
The season began with auditions featuring diverse contestants, including 36-year-old Tatiana and Shayan, a 23-year-old from Iran. Following the audition phase, the bootcamp concluded with 22 models advancing to the competition house—an expansion that included Stavroula Ch., Giannis, and Jean.
After moving into the house, contestants underwent significant makeovers led by hairstylist Stamatis Karaiskos. The transformations caused friction, notably with Stavroula Mavromati, who expressed concern regarding her professional career. Following these makeovers, a photoshoot involving balance beams and airy garments saw Anastazja and Giorgos win immunity and 1,000 euros. However, the episode resulted in a double elimination of Marinela and Chris. Other contestants, such as Marietta Darzenta, have also exited the competition.
In a subsequent ‘Fight Club’-inspired photoshoot at the ZMAK wrestling venue, contestants were tasked with confronting personal insecurities. Akyllas won the challenge, while Panagiota was eliminated. During this phase, Giannis utilized previously earned immunity to influence the competition.
