Over the course of five seasons, contestants competed for an array of prizes including modeling and advertisement contracts, while taking part in a number of photo shoots and other fashion related challenges. It was the second adaptation of Top Model in Latin America after Brazil's Next Top Model, which aired three seasons from 2007 to 2009, and was hosted by model Fernanda Motta.
Series overview
Format
The series closely followed the format of America's Next Top Model, where each episode featured a challenge focused on an important aspect of modeling, designed to help the contestants improve for the weekly photo shoot. These challenges were typically judged by a variety of special guests, including actors and relevant figures from the fashion industry. Following the challenge segment, the contestants participated in a photo shoot, with their overall performance being evaluated by the show's judges, along with a guest judge unique to each episode.
After the individual evaluations, the judges would deliberate privately to decide which model(s) to eliminate. Once the decision was made, the models would return to the room, where the host would call out the names of the contestants, from best to worst, who had advanced to the next week of the competition, handing them a copy of their best photo from the shoot. The last two contestants, whose names had not been called, would receive feedback on why they were in the bottom two, with one or more being eliminated.
In season five, creative director and former judge Antonio Gonzalez de Cosio was granted the opportunity to save one contestant from elimination at any point in the competition. He ultimately chose to save 21 year-old Roxana Reyes during the season's tenth episode, though she wound up being eliminated again just one episode later.
