The Model Show

Models and wild cards from around the country enter into this year's competition to see if they have what it takes to become the next ultimate model. The models are each interviewed by our 3 Judges. As 26 models advance into the next stage, will they have what it takes to get through a Mardi Gras catwalk and stills photo shoot to make it into the top 12 and model house?

Top 12 Models move into the model house in Cape Town. Ayanda having impressed the judges in the previous challenges gets to pick her own room. A selfie challenge is first up, with the winner getting an advantage in the second challenge. The reality sinks in as the worst preforming model is sent packing.

Models are treated to a make over by Wernology Hair Design. Denver and Red are unhappy with their new look while Monique has a mild melt down. Judges love the new look and put them to the test in a portrait challenge with photographer Marguerite Oelofse and floral stylist Alwijn Burger aka BlomBoy. Which model's dream will come to an end.

Bianca is being singled out in the house and seems to have two sides to her personality, one with her fellow competitors and one with the judges. After a massive party from nobody being eliminated in the previous episode, the severely hung over models are thrown into an avant-garde challenge with Make up artist Raine Tauber and photographer Ingrid Irsigler. The winner receiving a reward.

The 10 remaining models walk into Panavision film studios, where a brief video is shown to them on the devastation and impact the fashion industry has on our planet. An introduction to film director Harold Hölscher can only mean one thing! A huge test, as the models need to get naked and preform in front of a motion camera crew. Models make their first TV commercial #whomakesmyclothes.

The house seems to be much smaller place as only 8 models now occupy it. Models are tasked with an amazing race type challenge where they will be put to the test to work in pairs. Clue after clue the models move around Cape Town in their stylish Mini Coopers. Only to arrive at the final destination which is a waste management facility, and are greeted with a shock double elimination challenge.

Shocked by the double elimination challenge in the previous episode, the remaining top 6 models are rewarded with a visit to a renowned dermatologist in Paarl and are treated to luxurious skin treatments. A trip down memory lane back at the house turns into a big surprise for the models as all the previously eliminated models return to the house. All 12 models are reunited and sent out to sea.

Nerves are shattered as the models are told that they will be walking at men's fashion week! A recognized international fashion week with top designers from around South Africa! Models feel first hand what the chaos is like back stage, strict briefings with designers, and Monique having never walked anywhere before.

Top 5 models no longer needing a mansion, move into an apartment in Cape Town CBD. The first challenge is where our models have to show us key expressions from laughter to tears all in front of our judges. Playing for huge reward and to book a spot in the final! Emotions run high as the last model is eliminated. Leaving the top 4 to fight it out for the final prize.

This is it, what the models have been fighting for! The 4 remaining models have just 2 challenges left before claiming the grand prize of an international modeling contract.
