She made it into the top 20 and travelled to Paris, France where photographer Jez Smith stated, "the face is just so beautiful". In episodes 5 and 6, Cox was declared a frontrunner after being the first girl to gain two consecutive first call-outs.
In episode 9, Cox became a contender again after photographer Simon Upton stated, "I was really impressed with Montana. She is the one to beat in this competition". In episode 10, Cox gained her third first call-out for her vintage lingerie photo shoot. In episode 11, Cox won the go-see challenge after designer Fernando Frisoni stated, "I would book her with my eyes closed. I'd consider her opening my show". In the same episode, she was the first girl through to the finale at the Sydney Opera House. In episode 12, the final three flew to Dubai, United Arab Emirates where they participated in two high-fashion photo shoots.
