Update, 02/27/2020 11:21 p.m .: Tears and huge joy - this characterizes episode 5 like no other at GNTM 2020 : restyling and sedcard shooting. Probably the most important shoot for a model.
GNTM 2020: Lijana and Lucy from Kassel with new styling
Lijana from Kassel got straight hair and is happy with the new mane. Lucy, on the other hand, has tears in her eyes when looking into Heidi's magic mirror at Germany's next top model (GNTM 2020) - she is not really enthusiastic about her new look with long, blonde hair. "I hope I can still convince them," says Heidi Klum.
GNTM 2020: Lucy from Kassel is unhappy with her new styling
Most of Heidi's girls at GNTM 2020 are happy with the makeover. But for Lucy from Kassel it is still difficult the day after. She didn't even want to show the new hair to her boyfriend when she was skyping. She hates the "yellow tinge" in her hair.
Lucy's biggest problem: "I don't want to send my picture around the world like this." She doesn't feel well, but still sends her message: "You should love yourself as you are." And she is also satisfied with the Sedcard shoot - and photographer Christian Anwander and Heidi are also enthusiastic about Lucy.
Shock at GNTM 2020: Heidi Klum falls ill with the decision
The catwalk on Venice Beach has been completed - but one important person is missing: Heidi Klum is sick and Christian Anwander has to decide alone. The girls are excited. For Lijana from Kassel it was mega on the walk. "I'm a fan of yours," says Christian Anwander and hands over the pictures.
GNTM 2020: Lucy from Kassel fails on the walk - but has saved with her picture
For Lucy from Kassel, on the other hand, it wasn't going at all, she stalked over the carpeted catwalk. Her great luck that Christian Anwander as a photographer pays more attention to the pictures. "I have the feeling that you get on with your femininity better than many others," says Christian Anwander - huge compliment for the transgender model from Kassel.
GNTM 2020: Five candidates have to fear for their place on the model show
Things weren't going so smoothly for Johanna, Cassandra, Maribel, Marie and Tamara - they did not receive a photo after the walk and had to appear before jury member Christian Anwander again as a shaky candidate. But then the great relief: "I have no photo for you today", only Heidi can say this sentence. So for the five it's going on in Los Angeles for now - but they'll be in the shootout next week.
GNTM 2020: Lijana and Lucy from Kassel - two worlds in fan voting
The walk is still not so good for Lucy, but the 21-year-old has always torn everything out of her with her pictures. But in fan voting she is still in last place. It has just 10,600 subscribers. Lijana from Kassel, on the other hand, placed far ahead. The fans of GNTM 2020 like the 23-year-old student from Kassel - thanks to the vote of her 20,700 subscribers, she is currently in fourth place in the top 20 at GNTM 2020.
Update, February 20th, 2020, 10:27 pm: Jump, pose, photo - the girls are facing a major challenge at GNTM 2020. Photo shoot with diving board and fire - the girls have to be fit. Lijana from Kassel is thrilled with her outfit - and she is also the first one at the shoot.
It's exciting because all the girls have only three tries. And Lijana inspires Heidi with the first picture. Lucy also cuts a good figure in the jump with a hot blue leather outfit.
GNTM 2020: Heidi Klum's "Meeedchen" have to do morning exercise
But the shoot shows that most girls are not really fit. Therefore Heidi Klum has a surprise for her "Meedchen". Wake up at 6.14 a.m. from the personal trainer and off to the beach - sport for breakfast. "It's not about losing weight," emphasizes Heidi - models just need a good body feeling and you have to do sport for that.

GNTM 2020: Lucy and Lijana are on - it's off to Los Angeles
After the action shoot and the sports session on the beach, the action continues with the walk. As the girls walk the catwalk, motorbikes jump over them. No problem for the two Kassel women Lucy and Lijana - both are further. Now it's time to go to Los Angeles.
"I'm super proud - and in seventh heaven," says Lijana after the walk - Heidi noticed that she was training. Now Lijana and Lucy have to show what they can do at GNTM 2020 in Los Angeles.
Update, February 19, 2020, 10:21 a.m .: Lucy is one of two candidates from Kassel for this year's edition of the TV show Germany's Next Top Model (GNTM 2020). But Lucy was not born a woman - Luca became Lucy two years ago. The 21-year-old speaks openly and intimately about her camouflage gender outing - and how it destroyed her relationship with her mother.
GNTM 2020: Lucy from Kassel - Caseless and happy: "A panties, I don't need that"
Update, 13.02.2020, 10.30 p.m .: Candidate Lucy (21) has not yet convinced the fans on the walk - the transgender model from Kassel has so far only achieved 5 out of 10 points in fan voting. Heidi is also not yet enthusiastic about the 21-year-old's walk. The other 24 candidates at GNTM 2020 are not yet all 100 percent safe on the high heels.
GNTM 2020: Lucy from Kassel still has to practice the walk
In episode 3 at GNTM there was therefore a catwalk training with Heidi. And it became clear - Lucy from Kassel still needs a lot of practice. "In the long run, it won't be enough just to shine at the shoot," says Heidi of Lucy's performance.

Lijana from Kassel, on the other hand, enjoyed training with Heidi. "It really brought me something," says the 23-year-old.
GNTM 2020: nude shoot with horse on the beach - no problem for Lucy from Kassel
Lucy has shone in the photo shoots so far - but in episode 3 at GNTM 2020 there is a big challenge. Heidi wants to know how the candidates can control their bodies - a nude shoot with horses on the beach is the order of the day.
Lijana from Kassel got around the horse. The 23-year-old was allowed to lasciviously loll in the water. The 21-year-old Nadine would probably have given everything for this - she is terrified of horses. She did the shoot anyway.
And Lucy bravely: "A panties, I don't need that." Strengthened and confident, she goes into the shoot. In advance, she had already revealed that a nude shoot was her dream. And she shone: "I'm sitting on a horse on the beach, naked, in Costa Rica - I want this photo," she says enthusiastically.

GNTM 2020: Lucy and Lijana from Kassel are one round further
The respect for the walk over the pool is huge: But Lijana from Kassel masters the watercourse without any problems - including praise from Heidi and Joan. Lucy was thrilled with the special training with Joan - but the watercourse was bumpy. Nevertheless: it is a round further. "You have actually already won - you are a role model for so many people," Heidi says to Lucy. The Kasselerin is not the first transgender model in GNTM.
GNTM 2020: This is how Lucy and Lijana from Kassel perform in the fan voting
Update, February 11, 2020, 5:01 p.m .: After the two GNTM candidates Lucy and Lijana from Kassel cut a fantastic figure during the photo shoot in the second episode of Germany's next top model and convinced Heidi Klum of themselves, the first setback now follows Transgender model Lucy.
GNTM 2020: Lijana from Kassel does better than Lucy in fan voting

While candidate Lucy was rated 8 out of 10 in terms of personality and 7 out of 10 in the shootings, she lags behind in the walk. Lucy gives her fans only 5 out of 10 points.
GNTM 2020: Heidi believes in Lucy from Kassel
Heidi noticed this in the episodes before. Nevertheless, she took the 21-year-old student from Kassel to the next round. "It would be a huge mistake if I didn't take you with me," Heidi said of her decision.

Update from February 6th, 2020, 10:27 pm: Episode 2 of GNTM - Heidis girls have arrived in Costa Rica and there are several tough challenges for candidate Lucy from Kassel . The candidates have to make their own outfit for their first shoot, they only wear underwear and then in high heels on the catwalk?
GNTM 2020: making outfits? Not quite the thing from Lucy from Kassel
Happy tinkering - but GNTM candidate Lucy from Kassel feels visibly overwhelmed. "Everyone had equally good ideas. And I thought mine had to come first," says the 21-year-old. Said and done. But then the little shock: the girls at Gemany's next top model ran out of hot glue. "I'm totally nervous at the end," says Lucy. But all's well that ends well: hot glue replenishment is there and Lucy can also finish her outfit - underwear with flowers and leaves.
GNTM 2020: Lucy from Kassel in concern - will also hold everything
But now the next problem: whether everything is working properly. Lucy is very concerned because she only wears her hand-made panties on her first shoot at GNTM and she hasn't had her gender reassignment surgery yet. "If you saw something in photos, you can't use them," says Lucy.
GNTM model Lucy from Kassel during an intimate photo shoot - suddenly the outfit slips, but Lucy doesn't have to worry. The camera of the TV show pans on Lucy's thigh. A pink-colored elongated flower has come loose and dangles between her legs.

And then comes the next shock for the GNTM candidates - Heidi has a special surprise: three stragglers. Not only Lucy's facial features slip away. And then it goes straight to the photo shoot - a battle that pushes the candidates to their nerve limits.

Together with a male model, it's in the best Tarzan and Jane manner on ropes into the trees. Photographer Rankin, who is not the first time at GNTM, demands everything from the girls - after a few minutes of broadcasting, the first tears begin to flow. But that was exactly Heidi's goal: "I want to see how they do in the competition," says Heidi Klum.
GNTM: Lucy and Lijana from Kassel cut a fantastic figure during the shoot
At least Lucy from Kassel did a great job in episode 2 of GNTM. No trace of nervousness when she first shot. And so the 21-year-old not only inspires Heidi, but also photographer Rankin. "Fantastic!" He says to Lucy's appearance. The second candidate from Kassel, Lijana (23), also convinced at the photo shoot. "She does so much with her face," says Heidi enthusiastically. Lijana is happy.

GNTM 2020: high heels are a challenge for Lucy from Kassel
High heels are not really Lucy's thing from Kassel, but her will is iron. "I will give everything. Especially on the walk I have to hear from Heidi that I have improved." And despite quick shoe changes before the run - it didn't really work out. But then the surprise: "It would be a huge mistake if I didn't take you with me," says Heidi. Like her colleague Lijana from Kassel, Lucy from Kassel is one round further at GNTM 2020. Now it's time to practice walking with high shoes.
