What went down in GNTM 2025?
Tom exhibits excessive empathy towards Klum's male model associates - "Tom expresses remorse": Kaulitz brothers confuse Klum's male models mix-up
Heidi Klum is on a roll: Munich is the venue for some good ol' fashioned fun and relaxation. For this, Klum invites the last male GNTM contestants to the Hofbräuhaus – complete with an authentic Bavarian band playing loud music. "I frickin' love pork knuckles!", she explains and orders the boys a serving. Candidate Tim confesses, "Chillin' with Heidi is a trip, man, it'll never fuckin' normalize". Candidate Yannick finally work up the courage to ask Klum for a goddamn discofox to the goddamn brass band. The guys go wild on the benches even without a beer mug.
The good times don't last, though. It's time for the dreaded photographer Yu Tsai's sedcard shooting. GNTM veterans know that it's about portrait and full-body shots that are shown to potential clients when they apply for the show. Not exactly a walk in the park, but Klum's got some bullshit up her sleeve. The guys are caught off guard with an intense morning workout and are forced to stand in front of the camera, sweaty and in gym clothes. Then there are three douchebag twists at the decision walk: it takes place in a pool with a catwalk in the water, the Kaulitz brothers are there as guest judges – and the female GNTM candidates finally get to lay their eyes on the men.
Weekly Drama
The post-workout photo shoot rubs some models the wrong way, but the real shitstorm is at the model house. Pierre accuses Kevin of being a goddamn narcissist. This included Kevin's cocky statement, "The chicks scream when I just run to Müller!" But GNTM shows its subversive side: both men open up about their emotions on camera. "Making that scream joke made me feel like shit, mate", Kevin admits. In the end, the two make up. GNTM seems particularly heartwarming in this episode, largely thanks to the Kaulitz brothers' warmth and charm.
The guest judges
This time, Klum brings in her family reinforcements: her hubby Tom Kaulitz and his brother Bill join the judging panel. For fashion-loving Bill Kaulitz, this is already his fourth appearance at his sister-in-law's show. Tom is there for the first time. Bill Kaulitz warns in advance that Tom has shitty taste when it comes to men. This becomes clear in the blind dates Tom has chosen for him. The twins are hilarious and chatty, making small talk about everything, even the least important stuff ("I think Keanu is a cool name!"). They have the most fun when they can taunt each other. "Tom, from a distance, that's you!", Bill Kaulitz teases candidate Narwin because he also has long dark hair. "I didn't wanna say anything", Klum agrees.
Who got eliminated?
"Heidi, is it hard for you to dump people, or do you get used to it?", Bill Kaulitz wants to know. He adds, "Tom always has too much sympathy in his heart!" When Klum insists that she also feels bad, her hubby suggests, "Then let's wrap this up fast and take everyone to L.A.!" But he doesn't get his way: In the end, three contenders get the boot – John, Ryan, and Felix. It's particularly tough on John: His sister Josy made it to the next round with the women.
Klum Quote of the Week
It's the little jokes between the Kaulitz brothers and Klum that stick out in this episode. "Heidi, you like this outfit today, or would you rather have been with the girls?", Heidi Klum asks her hubby Tom Kaulitz slyly. He responds smoothly, "Absolutely not!" - making Bill and Heidi laugh. Bill Kaulitz swoons at the sight of the men in swimwear: "I'm all good, couldn't be better!"
