GNTM 2021: Episode 4 with Ellen von Unwerth as a guest judge

In the fourth episode of “GNTM”, the candidates were photographed by star photographer Ellen von Unwerth in a Berlin luxury hotel. There was also a lot of bare skin this time around and roller skating was a big task for some girls.

The bad news for self-proclaimed morals this week is: Disney is now diligently placing warnings before some episodes of the "Muppet Show", but Heidi Klum is allowed to continue her old man joke commercial, disguised as a model casting, in the living room without any trigger warning at prime time flicker.

The mood is of course right in the basement with Germany's double-standard elite from the world-explorer back rooms of social media bubbles.

And as if that weren't bad enough, episode four also has clear potential for an official outrage tsunami: the girls are naked.

So, in any case, so naked that the comment column in the echo epicenter is immediately red alert.

Actually, of course, all intimate parts of the body are covered with (okay, pretty little) fabric, sprayed with foam and additionally blurred for television broadcasting.

Anyone who defines that as "naked" also considers Xavier Naidoo to be Germany's most serious virologist.

But those who have made their life's work to construct at least one indignant scandal every day until they are allowed to explain the world to the nation at least once with Markus Lanz, don't always take the details very seriously.

Before it then becomes critically relevant naked, it first becomes life-threatening.

Roller skating legend Oumi Janta drives the girls together for a round of roller skating and introduces himself to the amazed candidates as “jam skaters”.

A quick look at the faces of the candidates reveals that one or the other is probably thinking: “Jam Skater?

Since when have there been skateboards made from jam? ”But the all-clear: In the end we count more ass bombs than calorie bombs, because balance on roller skates is definitely not part of the standard equipment for the 2021 GNTM squad.

Soulin goes to work particularly doggedly.

She is identified by Oumi Janta as the most problematic candidate after a tough day's crash course.

So, as for roller skating.

That is a problem for Soilin.

Jasmin, apparently a part-time cultural expert, has an explanation for this: “If you've been on the run your whole life and then really want this here, then you've got three times as much ambition to create something like this.” Yes, exactly.

If you've ever escaped the Aleppo mass grave, then at least you don't want to fall down while roller-skating.

Gasping at the same time, of course, from all angry citizens and asylum critics: now refugees are already taking our roller skates away from us.

Thank you, Merkel.

By the way, information on the side: Together with Oumi Janta, I am a face of the #PushFairFashion campaign by Fair Trade Germany.

Oumi is not only committed to more roller skating fun, but also to sustainable developments in the fashion industry.

Shortly before you think that Soulin will join the SPD (the famous skater party in Germany) in the course of the show, Liliana replaces her as a fail icon on eight wheels.

It's going even worse for her.

During roller skate training, she sinks more often as if struck by lightning than Arjen Robben as soon as he enters the opponent's penalty area.

But when Liliana said two weeks ago that she was going to break someone's legs, she actually didn't mean her own.

In summary, one can say: Liliane and Soulin's chances of finding themselves on the cover of “Harper's Bazaar” at the end of the season are in any case much greater than in the Starlight Express ensemble.

The next day the old farmer's rule "We don't learn for school, but for the shoots" comes true.

The pack of roller skates makes a stop at the Hotel Adlon to demonstrate their newly acquired skate skills in front of the lens of star photographer Ellen von Unwerth.

With 70s outfits, tons of shopping bags, Jacky Kennedy wigs and animal companions.

Shopping on roller skates pulled by huskies.

Once again a GNTM motif idea that could hardly be closer to reality.

Next week sack races over obstacles made of epilating devices, wearing only Sanifair tokens and a liver sausage sandwich.

On a trapeze at a height of 50 meters.

Nothing unusual for the Adlon.

Very young girls in 70s clothes, disoriented in the lobby, are familiar from Fashion Week.

During the further course of the shooting day, Liliana continues to cut a figure backstage in the voluntary special roller-skating training, as elegant as Reiner Calmund at water ballet.

After 12 Long Island Iced Tea.

Linda notices that too.

The defenseless Yasmin reveals that she would be “simply sportier” than the others.

Yasmin doesn't think bullying is so cool, which Linda, who had already caused a sensation a week ago with a perfectly shaped “Shut up!”, With a defiant “What's wrong with that, don't shit now” acknowledged.

In the meantime, a shooting starts in front of the main entrance of the Adlons, which will create some pearls of GNTM history.

First, a couple of extra dogs pounce on the surprised Soulin, who later reports: "Suddenly there were three tongues and a paw on my eye".

Sentences that you normally only know from Berghain when there are unannounced Los Gang-Bang weeks.

Dasha, on the other hand, can score significantly more.

Klum celebrates: "Dasha is super outgoing".

Little Thomas Hayo hops back and forth in me, euphoric and full of attitude.

However: That doesn't help, because where do you want to go out when all the clubs are closed?

Photographer Ellen von Unwerth also refuses to be asked twice and praises Romina: “You communicated nicely with the dogs”.

Woof woof.

Heidi Klum, on the other hand, is surprisingly reluctant to harvest lively style blossoms.

She prefers to cuddle with her Bill.

Or is it film dog Milka?

This cannot be clearly seen with the naked eye.

At the end of the day of the shooting, she gave a little tip for the walk the following day: Better remove all body hair this evening, because it will be naked!

Naturally!

Diversity or not, the girls definitely have to be shaved.

The next day then begins accordingly without relaxation.

Hardly in the studio, the girls finally realize: Today it won't be about clothes.

Soulin switches the fastest and states: "I walked in and saw a breath of nothing".

A feeling that I too often share.

Especially when I get bank statements.

Her cultural background also worries Soulin about the upcoming display of naked body parts.

But other girls are closer to a panic attack than a Playboy shoot.

Ana reveals, for example, that she has never seen herself completely naked in the mirror, that her boyfriend is not allowed to see her naked either, and: "With us, you get dressed again after you shower".

Sapperlott, Get dressed after you shower, what kind of stuffy concept is that?

What's next?

Washing your hands after a bowel movement?

Romina and Mareike are less worried about supposedly naked bodies.

Romina documents her exhibitionistic streak and reveals: "I am happy to finally be able to show my body", while Mareike tries to calm things down a bit: "Of course we will not run with an open pussy".

Yes, that's how I looked.

Before I can imagine how Mareike then logically walks the catwalk with a closed pussy, GNTM 2021 has to cope with an unplanned bloodletting again.

Because before it goes naked on the catwalk, Mara gets out quickly.

Your voluntary withdrawal is already the third, and by then it's not even 3.5 episodes over.

Heidi Klum break away the candidates this year faster than US hedge funds the profits with bets on price drops at GameStop.

The elimination walk for the finale of the fourth episode, which was pretended to be a “femme fatale” showdown, then degenerates into a “sponge fatale” because the girls do appear in skin-colored briefs and nipple pads, but are in front of the cameras before the walk To be on the safe side, sprayed about 400 cubic meters of bath foam.

Of course, everyone involved is wondering whether it is even possible to walk elegantly with such a handicap.

Or as Franz Beckenbauer would say: Foam.

Keyword Beckenbauer: Heidi Klum named one of her two career highlights after him: her left breast.

Her name is Franz. No joke.

Your right counterpart is called Hans.

It is still unclear who was the inspiration for Hans.

Hans Meiser?

Hans Sigl?

After all, he's a mountain doctor and that would somehow fit.

So in case anyone didn't know: Yes, Heidi Klum calls her own breasts Hans and Franz. By the way, nobody in Paris knows all three.

Liliana is similarly euphoric about her secondary sexual characteristics.

She is happy: “The whole world is gonna see my titties”.

Well, or the whole world is gonna see the pixelation.

But then it finally goes on the catwalk and after a whole morning full of fear, nudity and discussions, the walks are over after a few seconds.

Or as Mareike describes it: “Quick in, quick out”.

What you do when you are completely naked.

Shortly before Ana starts the final walk, in which her boyfriend will also see her naked body on TV for the first time at home, she quickly brings God on board and asks him for help in a quick prayer.

And if you know one thing, it is that God usually has so few real problems to deal with that he is very happy to take care of GNTM girls' fear of nude walks.

But Ana learns quickly: If you don't want to show yourself naked in public, you don't have to feel Umwerth.

On the contrary.

Surprisingly, full of self-confidence, she even does one of the best nude walks.

Much ado about a touch of nothing.

Ana remains highly praised in the race, but for candidate Sarah it is over.

Even the compliment from Ellen von Unwerth doesn't help, she looks "like a female David Bowie".

Looking like a top model might have helped her more, but you can't have it all.

With 19 remaining aspirants, the legendary makeover will start next week.

Heidi Klum is already sharpening the big hedge trimmer.

And I will report!
