Audition program - Kempten's Armin gets eliminated from "Germany's Next Topmodel."
27-year-old male model Armin from Kempten, Allgau failed to advance to the semi-finals of "Germany's Next Topmodel." In the recently aired episode, Heidi Klum and the other judges, Thomas Hayo and Kristian Schuller, sent the model packing.
Klum expressed her disappointment, saying, "I genuinely thought you had a 100% chance for the final, and that's why I'm shocked." She added, "I'm sorry I can't present you with a photo." During a challenging photo shoot, the model was unable to impress the judges, whose feedback included, "The spark didn't ignite in you today."
Armin was visibly shaken and spoke of his broken dream: "I fought and worked hard for the title. But sometimes, no matter how you try, things don't go as planned." Though he found Heidi's parting words hurtful, he acknowledged that "participating in the show is the most beautiful thrill in the world." He attempted to maintain composure, remarking, "Sometimes, you have to go home."
The semi-finals of the contest will continue without Armin's participation. The decision of who will reach the grand finale of the current season, a historical first for "Germany's Next Topmodel," will take place on Tuesday, June 11th at 8:15 pm on ProSieben. The live final is scheduled for two days later.
Fabienne (21) from Solingen, Frieder (25) from Berlin, Grace (25) from Dusseldorf, Jermaine (20) from Kassel, Lea (24) from Dusseldorf, Linus (25) from Berlin, Xenia (24) from Hof, and the twin models Julian and Luka (24) from Frankfurt am Main (now collectively considered one candidate) remain in contention for the coveted title.
