The first show of the 4 finalist is a fashion show in Diesel's summer clothes. The first task was in front of the super agent Paolo Tomai, among other things the agent of Claudia Schiffer and many other supermodels, when he examines the chances of the finalists for an international career. Paulo asked to meet, in addition to the finalists, Angel, Ines and Netta. The girls receive a 3-minute interview with the super agent, which is divided into a personal interview, a demonstration of walking skills on a runway and finally a headshot of each one. Regarding Liat Ben., Paolo said that she is not yet destined for an international career, despite impressive physique. About Liat Bel., he said that she is special, but short and therefore has a future in commercial more than on a runway. Evelin impressed Paolo, despite her poor English skills, and he told her that she had an amazing face but that she should reduce her breasts. He says that Evelin can succeed anywhere, only English will be a failure for her. He said about Victoria that she has a beautiful body, and that she has the greatest potential to succeed abroad of all the girls. The judges scored the international task for the girls.

The next fashion show is a display of Keds swimwear. After the show, we saw the long-awaited reconciliation between Evelin and Victoria, including the corny song from a wonderful land. After that, the girls went to another fashion show in Reebok sportswear, together with the girls' personal trainer, Tal Shaham. The second task was the performance of the song "I want to be a super model" including dance parts. Before the mission, we saw the rehearsals for the mission and the recordings of the song together with Saar Badishi, the musical director of the series "Our Song". Choreographer Hilik Cohen guides the girls to the dance segment, and he is supposed to choose which of the finalists will perform in the solo segment during the grand finale. Finally he chose the two Liat, since he believed that there was something real in them. The girls all came up to perform the song together with the dance part, and the judges began to score the dance task for the girls.
