Top Model, cycle 4 is the fourth cycle of an ongoing reality show based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model that pits contestants from Poland against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win the title of the next Polish Top Model.

The competition was hosted by Polish-born model Joanna Krupa who served as the lead judge alongside fashion designer Dawid Woliński, fashion show director Kasia Sokołowska and photographer Marcin Tyszka. This was the first season of the show to feature male contestants in the cast.

They continue to lay into him at dinner later that night.

For the challenge, the contestants must walk on the runway with clothing from three different designers.
