Top Model (formerly Top Model. Zostań modelką (English: Top Model. Become a Model)) is a Polish reality television show based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. The show sees a number of aspiring models compete against each other in a variety of competitions to win the title of the next Top Model of Poland, along with a lucrative modeling contract with NEXT Model Management, an appearance on the cover of Polish Glamour magazine and a nationwide Max Factor campaign in hopes of a successful career in the modeling business.[1]

The competition is hosted by Polish American supermodel Joanna Krupa, who serves as the lead judge. The other members of the judging panel are fashion designer Dawid Woliński, runway coach Kasia Sokołowska and photographer Marcin Tyszka.[2] Supermodel Anja Rubik has made several guest appearances throughout the show's run.[3]

Challenges

Challenges generally focus on elements important to modeling which will help the contestants improve for the week's photo shoot. A guest judge evaluates the contestants and decides the winner of each challenge. The winner of the challenge receives a prize for their victory. Sometimes the challenge winner is permitted to choose a certain number of other contestants to receive a similar, but lesser reward, while the others are given nothing. Winners of a particular challenge are sometimes also granted immunity from elimination for the week.

Judging and elimination

Once a week, based on the models' performance in the week's challenge, photo shoot, and general attitude, the judges are required to eliminate one contestant from the competition. During the elimination ceremony, the host calls out the names of the contestants who are still in the competition, handing them a copy of their best photo from the shoot. The two or three worst-performing models of the week are called forward and are given criticism before one of them is eliminated. In some cases, the show sees multiple eliminations and non-eliminations by consensus of the judging panel.

Differences from the American version

In contrast to the American adaptation, each cycle begins with several rounds of casting that span several episodes. These follow the process that took place in choosing the final cast, beginning with the live auditions held in several cities across the country, the semi-finals, and the finals. In paired photo shoots, it is common for the better-performing contestant in each pair to be granted immunity, with the other being in danger of elimination. In the final episode of each cycle, the final three or four contestants compete in front of a live audience, and a public telephone vote decides the winner of the competition.
