Twin contestants featured in "Germany's Next Topmodel" finale. - Heidi Klum's choice sparks debate among people.
For the very first time in the history of "Germany's next Topmodel," the competition is not just about solo male candidates, but also includes twins, Luka and Julian Cidic (24), who hail from Heilbronn. This unique twist has caught the attention of many viewers, but Heidi Klum's (51) decisions have received heated criticism.
As we approached the semi-finals on June 11th, comments started flooding in on the show's official Instagram account. "If they weren't twins, they would have been sent home a long time ago," wrote one fan, while another boldly stated, "If the twins win, I'm throwing my TV away." This emotional response has been brewing for weeks, ever since the duo first stepped into the spotlight during the makeover stage. Initially, Heidi Klum attempted to separate them, even trying her best to treat them as individuals rather than a pair.
However, the tables turned when the twins were invited to shoot for the "Harper's Bazaar" cover. Suddenly, Klum declared that she would be evaluating them as a team, claiming that they were the perfect couple to make everything magical. This sudden change in rules was met with mixed reactions, and many viewers felt that it wasn't a fair choice for the twins.
Their unique charm also caught Klum's attention, and she couldn't help but appreciate their bond. She even praised them in the semi-finals, saying, "Together, you guys are truly magical." But for some, this wasn't special - they had already noticed Klum's preference for twins. In fact, viewers have pointed out her close relationship with her husband, Tom Kaulitz (34), and his brother Bill. "Heidi is obviously fond of twins," stated one viewer, while another found it 'embarrassing' how Klum was showing them so much favoritism.
The twins were pushing boundaries right from the start, challenging the norms set by the strict hostess. Luka and Julian experimented with feminine eyelashes, something Klum has usually frowned upon in past episodes, and even wanted to forgo wearing high heels. Despite their controversial choices, the twins' unique style and charisma kept them in the competition.
Compared to their fellow contestants, the twins had also demonstrated diversity by trying their luck in other TV shows, such as Amira Pocher's (31) VOX show "The Supertwins" in 2021. This impressive track record makes many suspect that they might take home the title in the upcoming final.
For the very first time in the history of the casting show, Heidi Klum will make two separate choices - a winner for the male title and a winner for the female title. Both the winners of the 19th season will be featured on the cover of "Harper's Bazaar Germany" and will each receive a prize money of 100,000 euros. The final episode will air on June 13th (8:15 pm, ProSeven or Joyn). In this exciting finale, we'll watch the twins compete with Jermaine (20) and Linus (24) for the male title, while Xenia (24), Fabienne (20), and Lea (24) strive for the female title. Several high-profile guests will be present at the event, including football star Bastian Schweinsteiger (39), singer Sabrina Carpenter (25), the electro duo Sofi Tukker, model Liz Hurley (59) and her son Damian (22), photographer Rankin (58), and designer Kevin Germanier (32).
