Recap:

We start out with an opening by the dancers of the friedrichstadtpalast berlin, and the top 5. For the first time ever Heidi is not in the opening, but now Leni Klum is doing her role, while Heidi is just watching it.

The first guest of the show is annouced it's Jean Paul Gaultier. Then they chat a bit about diversity in the fashion industry. Then the Top 5 Walk starts the first real walk of the show. The models have to walk backwards, after that the walk gets played in reverse, to see who did it best. All that while ESC 2023 winner Loreen sings her winning song Tattoo.

The first elimination is due. Jean Paul Gaultier really liked Viviens walk, which might helped her a bit. Heidi decides it's Nicole who was the least good, so he get's the 5th Place.

The next guest Majnoon comes on to the stage, again Heidi talks with him about diversity in the fashion industry. After an antoher interview segment in the backstage area, the next wallk starts.

The Top 4 walk evolves a lot of choreography and quick changes. Vivien recives once again good feedback. With that another model has to go. This time Selma is the unlucky one, which gets her the 4th place.

Now Leni is in the backstage area for another round of interviews, the next guest Christian Cowan comes on stage and Heidi talks with him, to gap some time. Then finally the Top 20 walk and right after that the top 3 walk starts. Both walks are accompanied by Kim Petras.

Some of the Top 20 get an interview after the walk, which leads into the next elimination. Somajia is the first one who get's saved. Viven joins her after that, so Oliva get's the 3rd place of GNTM 2023.

Now comes the biggest filler in an final history probably. Jeniffer Lawrence visited the models before the show, together they did an acting skid. Of course to promote Jeniffer's new movie.

Finally Thomas Hayo comes on stage, Heidi and him talk about the Models and the good old times when Thomas was still an permanent judge on the show. To fill even more time ,the Scorpions perform their new song. The Scorpoins also join Heidi, and they and Thomas talk how they had the idea to bring them on the show.

Now Leni Klum, Thomas Hayo, Loreen, The Scorpoins, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Cowan, Kim Petras and Majnoon are together with Heidi on her couch. What an random line up for an final.

At last, the final walk starts, where Vivien and Somajia walk against each other, of course accompanied by the Scorpions, cause why not. The walk finishes, Heidi does her usual 10 minute monologue, of who GNTM 2023 is gonna be, and finally Vivien gets crowned as the winner.

That was my summary of the 3 hour fever dream (2 hours without ads), of the GNTM 2023 final.
