Make Me a Supermodel

In a casting special the 24 finalists will be whittled down to the final 14 models who will ultimately compete for $100,000. The winning model will also receive a modeling contract with New York Model Management, a professional modeling agency committed to promoting top talent and exciting new faces to the fashion industry with a roster of models. Based on the successful UK series, "Make Me a Supermodel" is hosted by supermodels Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford.

The competition is fierce on the premiere of "Make Me A Supermodel". The supermodels move into their New York apartment and get to check out their competition. Hosts Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor tell the designers what their first challenges will be.

It's all about appearance and attitude as the boys and girls are transformed and start to look and feel like real fashion models. Then the models learn how to ooze attitude on the runway.

Chemistry is put to the test on "Make Me A Supermodel" as the male and female models are paired up to see who generates the most heat. For the photo shoot, the models must find ways to work together to sizzle for the camera, and on the catwalk they'll find out if they can share the spotlight.

The competition heats up when the models have to take it all off. They'll learn the need for poise and elegance while taking direction from an artist. The temperature will rise even further when the models must let go of their inhibitions and pose for a circle of art students who will sketch them in charcoal.

The competition gets serious when the models go to work at New York's glamorous Fashion Week, where they're forced to step up their game in the presence of established working models.

Tyson Beckford along Marlon and Season 1 Finalist Perry Ullman, Ben DiChiara and Frankie Godoy search for hopeful models. Only 16 will compete in New York City for $100,000, a 1 year contract with New York Model Management and a fashion pictorial with Cosmopolitan Magazine.

In the premiere episode, sixteen aspiring models find themselves in the heart of New York City, competing for $100,000, a modeling contract with New York Model Management, and a fashion pictorial in Cosmopolitan magazine. The models are immediately thrown into their first photo shoot of the competition, where they are challenged to create an intimate moment as they dangle high above New York City in a plexiglass box. For their first elimination catwalk, the models meet the esteemed panel of judges: model scout and manager Marlon, model Jenny Shimizu, photographer Perou, and renowned fashion designer Catherine Malandrino.

An early morning e-mail sends the models to Manhattan for their next photo shoot with photographer Suza Scalora. The competition amps up when the models get their new “supermodel” makeovers. This brightly colored challenge tests what they can do with candy as their inspiration. Continuing with the color theme, the catwalk brings high energy to the judge's table, but additional challenges keeps the models on their toes.

The models head back to high school for their next challenge, where they test their skills with wire work as they to capture an authentic sports moment. The athletic theme continues on the catwalk, and Tabatha Coffey from Bravo's Tabatha's Salon Takeover joins as a guest judge.

The stakes are raised as the models learn their prize for winning this week's photo shoot will be a trip to Montreal, where they will have the opportunity to walk in Montreal Fashion Week. Guest mentor supermodel/actor Michael Bergen fills in for Tyson Beckford and supermodel Maggie Rizer serves as a guest judge.

The remaining models compete in a military themed challenge and learn they will be broken up into groups of three for a risqué photo-shoot. The catwalk challenge keeps the lines of sexuality blurred. Author and photographer Kelly Klein joins the panel as a guest judge.
