Cycle two of Suomen huippumalli haussa began filming in autumn 2008 and began airing 13 April 2009 at 20.00 on the Finnish channel Nelonen. The prize for the winner was a contract with Paparazzi Model Management, the front cover of Finnish Cosmopolitan and becoming the new spokesperson for Max Factor. Nanna Grundfeldt won the competition, with Riina Roms and Anna-Kaisa Tyrväinen sharing second place. Grundfeldt is the first out lesbian to win any of the over 30 versions of Top Model around the world, including the original.

Self-proclaimed "supermodel" Janice Dickinson was a guest judge on the show for episode seven. She was in Helsinki for filming in November 2008. Tommi Kilponen, of Finland's version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, is this cycle's stylist.

The girls move into their new house and get a visit from Anne Kukkohovi and then a catwalk lesson by drag queen Jarkko Valtee. The girls then get makeovers. The week's photoshoot is for a DNA campaign in which the girls are dressed as chess pieces. The girls either play the white or black queen with the winner expressing pride and the loser expressing anger.

This week's theme is health. The girls do a photo shoot for the Skunk Girl collection by Tiia Vanhatapio for the www.fressis.fi anti-smoking campaign. The following day, a personal trainer comes to visit and does a body assessment of the models and a workout with Nike gear. Next, a nutritionist visits the model house and gives the challenge of preparing a healthy snack. Nanna wins the challenge and chooses Laura, who had earlier hurt her leg. The reward is a day at the spa, but due to the injury, Laura cannot go, so Nanna chooses Blanche to go instead. The rest of the girls must clean up the house. The final assignment is filming Nelonen Jatkuu segments, which in Finnish television are seen before and after commercial breaks.
