Supermodelo is a Spanish reality television show based on the American TV series America's Next Top Model which is broadcast on the Spanish television station Cuatro. Two seasons have already gone to air, and a third one began in April 2008 ^[1]. This third cycle is mixed for the first time, meaning that male models also participate in the contest.

The winners have been, for Supermodelo 2006, María José Gallego Supermodelo 2007, Noelia López.

[edit] The Program

In its first two cycles, the program aimed to find the Spanish representative for the Elite Model Look contest. The girls, who used to stay in the "Centro de Formación" or training center four days a week, were judged on a weekly Primetime show by a jury (jurado in Spanish) and eliminated by the audience until a winner was declared.

For the third cycle, with the inclusion of male contestants, the mechanics of the competition changed a lot. The show airs every weekday afternoon, featuring daily challenges for the contestants.^[2] The phirst phase of the competition took place on a cruise in the Mediterranean, and after ten boys and ten girls were admitted to the training center. ^[3]

The program features a team of teachers who help to train the aspiring models. The teachers who appeared the first two seasons include stylist (and director of the training center in cycle 2)Cristina Rodríguez, runway trainer Valerio Pino, trainer Jimmy Roca, and photographer Emmanuel Rouzic. For Supermodelo 2007, dance instructor Rubén Nsue, nutritionist Javier Martínez, acting coach Marta Romero, and etiquette instructor Vanesa Romero joined as additional professors. For Supermodelo 2008, the only teacher that remained in the cast was Emmanuel Rouzic; Marie-Ange Schmitt-Lebreton became the new director and runway trainer and José Fernández "Jousi" became the new stylist.

Supermodelo was hosted by the Spanish model Judit Mascó the first two seasons until Eloísa González replaced her on season 3.
