Controversy

Controversy arose surrounding 17-year-old contestant Irina Batrac early in the competition. The conflict began in the fourth episode when several contestants expressed concerns about Batrac’s perceived inconsiderate attitude. This led to a heated exchange involving 21-year-old Iuliana Mînza after a runway challenge, which required host Cătălin Botezatu to intervene. The situation escalated in episode 6 when Batrac became visibly distressed after Mînza and fellow contestant Flori Ciupu played pranks on her, including pouring chocolate sauce into her hair while she was asleep, tampering with her toothbrush by covering it in superglue, and replacing her makeup remover with shampoo. When Botezatu addressed the contestants regarding the incident, Mînza and Ciupu were seen suppressing laughter. Despite this, neither Botezatu nor the production staff took further action to assist Batrac. Tensions eventually subsided, but Batrac was eliminated several weeks later after landing in the bottom two alongside Mînza, who had at that point been in the bottom two for three consecutive weeks. Mînza ultimately advanced to the finale, finishing as the runner-up.^[81]
