At a luxurious dinner, Svetlana tells the remaining girls that they should enjoy the meal, as they cannot eat that much when becoming professional models. Early the next morning, it is time for the weekly photo shoot, where the girls are styled with diamonds and an elegant wardrobe. Tatiana is able to impress Vladimir Glynin; as an individual reward, Yulya K. receives a massage, as she has been having trouble with her back throughout the competition.
At the judging panel, the girls have to perform an advertisement for an energy drink, whilst on rollerblades. All three struggle to complete this assignment, much to the amusement of the panel.
