Controversy

Many fans were able to find out the eliminated contestant from the next week's episode beforehand.
  • Eyerlina Sanchez had entered in Miss Dominican Republic 2002.
  • Denise Dahinten's elimination was confirmed by studio guests of that day's episode of late night show TV total, where the eliminated contestants appeared after their elimination.
  • Host channel ProSieben booked a web domain for each contestant's name, e.g. – the only names that were not booked were Tonia Michaely, Aneta Tobor, and Michaela "Milla" Gräfin von Krockow, so their elimination was indirectly confirmed.
  • An Austrian newspaper published a report on Anja Platzer being home again, confirming her elimination the next week.
  • Mandy's friends divulged her elimination in several internet forums.
  • As the 11th episode ended with a cliffhanger, making it ambiguous whether Fiona Erdmann or Anni Wendler would be one of the final three, fans began to collect details that would reveal the last finalist. Some television guides accidentally published photos of Wendler, Barbara Meier, and Hana Nitsche. Paparazzi photos of the three were shot and leaked into the internet. Finally, in the 11th episode, judges Heidi Klum and Peyman Amin could be heard stating "those three really deserve to get into the final show". When these words were said, there was a brief visual of three photos separated from two others. The two put aside were those of Erdmann and Mandy Graff.
