Supermodelo was 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. While the first two Cycles followed the original format of only female models competing, Cycle 3 also featured male contestants that were living in the same house and participated in the same challenges but had a separate competition.[1] Another significant difference from the Next Top Model series was that the viewers were choosing which contestant of the bottom two was eliminated.
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 first 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 which saw significant changes in the format with having a male competition as well and a daily broadcast. However these changes proved to be very unpopular with audience and the season was cut short.
