Season chronology

Significant changes were made in the casting process: The first episode featured castings in all nine Austrian federal states with the top four of each state qualifying for a spot in the first episode. There the top four competed again with the favorite of each state making the final cast directly. The remaining girls still had a shot with the possibility of receiving a wildcard. In the end, five girls were selected, making it a top 14 in total. Another change was that there was one casting to book in every episode where the actual job would take place abroad, however only the winner would be allowed to travel there. The only international destination to where all cast members traveled was New York City.

Judges

Magalie's racism controversy

In the fourth episode, contestant Magalie Berghahn was disqualified in the show for racist comments she made during a phone conversation with her boyfriend. She referred to fellow competitor Lydia Obute as "Neger Oide" (negative afflicted Austrian slang for Black Woman) and to Vanessa Lotz as "Deitsche" (slang for German Woman). Both Obute and Lotz won a go-see that episode. The conversation was fully taped and aired during the show. She was confronted by host Lena Gercke with the video material in front of the other two girls. Gercke then told her that she was expelled from the show given the competition has no room for racist ideas and thoughts. Puls 4 was later accused of using the controversy for promotional purposes as Berghahn's comments were already shown in the preview for the episode and uncensored during the airing of Episode 4.[3] As a result, Berghahn was not invited to the final runway show of the cast on the seasons final, and she later stated that the said scandal ruined her life.[4]
