Holland's Next Top Model (season 9)

The show went over the process by which the aspiring contestants were pared down to the final 12 after a mass casting with the judges. The finalists later met for the first time and took part in their first photo shoot session, where they shot their promotional photographs and filmed the show's opening sequence. At the end of the week Anouk Smulders visited the models with a final copy of the opening titles, and announced that the model not featured in the opening would be eliminated from the show. Ultimately, it was revealed that Nynke would not be moving on in the competition. After her elimination, Anouk revealed that one of the eliminated models would be given the chance to return.
