It is based off of Atlanta's Next Top Model, which held its series finale in 2012.

The winner will receive management and representation by Elite Model Management, a beauty contract with Mac Cosmetics worth $100 000, and a 6 page spread (and the cover) within Mode Magazine. She will become the new face of Tom Ford's upcoming fragrance, to be revealed exclusively on the show. The winner will also have an all expenses paid trip to Sydney during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia.

Contestants who are eligible in the contest must be at least 5'7" in height. The age limit is 16 to 26.

 * Tensions are high and Laren thinks that Maryan told the other girls what her thoughts were and gets mad at her
 * Coedy confesses that she overheard them speak and told Raelyn about it - so now everyone thinks of Raelyn as the snitch
 * Challenge: Olympian athlete Ryan Lochte comes to the girls' home to teach them about fitness and makes them go through a boot camp and to complete an underwater photo challenge at the end of it
 * Winner: Shanae | Prize: A night out in Rein with Ryan, his Olympian friends, other male models and two other girls in the house (although she isn't close with anyone in the house, she picks Courtenay and Ciara who stay out of the drama in the house; Ciara is feeling unwell and couldn't complete the challenge either so she felt bad and eventually gave her spot up to McKensey)
 * Shanae, Courtenay and McKensey bond and McKensey decides that it's a good idea to bring some of Ryan's friends back to the model house

 * Laren: One of the best shots of the week

 * Team 2: Coedy, Kelsey, McKensey
 * Team 3: Laren, Courtenay, Maryan, Raelyn
 * Coedy picks who she thinks are the worst girls left in the competition who don't look like her so that she can stand out
 * Many girls impress but McKenna tries to over shine the other girls and blames them for picking out the wrong shoe for her and telling her that her make up looked good for the casting (it was too much)
 * It is revealed that team 1 did the poorest, collectively, and they had to vote themselves as to who in the team should go home

 * Kel: Rocked the shoot and she was a natural at it
 * Maryan: She struggled with the shoot and had few usable shots - she didn't understand pin up and was a bit shy to bare so much skin

 * Laren: A gorgeous, effortless shot
 * McKensey: The judges loved her shot and thought she looked very modelesque while expecting her to look very hoochie
 * Kelsey: Judges expected a lot more from her - expression was lacklustre
 * Shanae: She looked great in the photo but it wasn't the best - very average
 * Raelyn: Looked average in the shot as well - she "was coasting"

 * Photo Shoot: Swamp Creatures
 * Best Photo: Shanae
 * Photographer: Henryk Lobaczewski
 * Coedy: Huge fan of her shot - one of the best - she keeps improving week to week and always impresses and tries her hardest. Judges love her positive attitude!
 * Kel: Judges liked her challenge shot better than her photo shoot - she needed to work on giving a wider range of expressions

 * Courtenay: Looked absolutely stunning in the shot and had so much confidence - she was really stepping up her game - the shoot was made for her
 * Laren: The judges found her shot uninspiring and lacked the certain punch that she had in previous weeks
 * McKensey: The judges thought she struggled this week and failed to meet the brief - they expected a whole lot more from her
 * Shanae: A huge step up from shots before - she was improving and her film was great - she didn't just "luck" into it and it wasn't the styling either
 * Raelyn: Judges didn't hate nor love her shot - thought it was okay but is that enough to stay in the competition?
 * After doing so well in photo shoot for the past four weeks and then suddenly dropping to the bottom, Laren was devastated and contemplated quitting altogether
 * Girls gave her a pep talk and support and said that she would do well

 * Kel: Judges thought she delivered the best shot since her time here

 * Laren: Judges loved her shot too - hard to fault and rank the girls when all did so well
 * McKensey: She did well but the judges weren't sure about her potential against the other girls left in the competition
 * Shanae: Still working it from head to toe - judges loved her growth

 * Coedy and Courtenay start to bond over their weird antics and editorial poses - they teach each other tricks

 * The girls get a surprise from La Isla Bonita's Waxing Studio, where the girls all learn that they'll be receiving Brazilian waxes in prep for the week
 * Immediately after, they are whisked away to their challenge
 * Challenge: The girls shoot a commercial for new Durex lubricants with a male model. Coedy and Courtenay are extremely nervous as both of them admit to being virgins and never even kissing a guy. Coedy admits to never having felt as awkward during the competition as she did during the challenge. Courtenay eventually got out of her shell and was pleased by her performance by the end of it. The male model complimented Courtenay and said she was a quick learner.

 * Photo Shoot: La Perla lingerie shoot with male models
 * Best Photo: Laren
 * Photographer: Jez Smith
 * Judging & Elimination | Guest Judge: Josephine Skriver
 * Coedy: Judges continue to praise her on her improvement, however she looked very awkward in the lingerie. She was confident with her body but didn't really know how to interact with the male model in the shared shot.
 * Kel: Judges commended her for trying to get through the day but she admitted that the pressure was just too much. Her photo was probably her weakest during the entire competition and weakest out of the remaining girls. There were limited shots to choose from since she had to leave the set early.
 * Maryan: Looked stunning in the shot and was commended for her work in the commercial challenge
 * Courtenay: Judges thought she needed to work on toning her body more, but liked that she took risks and stepped outside her comfort zone

 * Best Photo: Courtenay
 * Photographer: Carter Smith


 * At 4 a.m., the girls get ready to take their mothers back to the airport, but they are surprised to see all of the judges there at home with them in the living room as well with their own luggages - they are told that the top 5 girls will be headed to London!


 * Challenge: Go-sees with 4 designers (Thomas Tait, Marta Jakubowski, Ostwald Helgason, Moeva Swimwear) - girls have 2.5 hours to complete all go-sees and make it back to Elite Model Management in London before time is up - if they are late, they are disqualified

 * Courtenay: Gorgeous, campaign-worthy shot
 * Laren: Strikes again with a gorgeous and effortless photo; very good go-sees results

EPISODE 11 (FINALE)
 * Judging & Elimination | Guest Judge: Hyejeon Lee
 * Coedy: The judges give her universal praise for her photo - she is a very strong competitor and has respectfully earned her place in the final two
 * Laren: Judges nitpicked at certain details in her photo and mentioned that at this point, you can't afford to have any mistakes; they did take her potential into consideration; when asked who had the most potential out of all the remaining girls, she was the only one who didn't say herself
 * Shanae: The judges loved her improvement and thought that she was a dark horse - this photo really fit her personality very well; the judges were concerned about her consistency and if she stood a chance against Coedy - they wore torn but believed that she has grown quickly enough and she does have the strongest runway walk out of all of the girls
 * Coedy is shocked to see Shanae in the top 2 with her instead of Laren - she had always considered Laren her biggest competition
 * Shanae is shocked as well but wants to give it her 110% now that the prize is so close
 * The girls are whisked away to a private studio in Rein where they are greeted by Sarai, Taylor Vanderburgliesse and Tom Ford himself - it is the last photo shoot and chance to impress
 * Shanae shines on set and surprises even Coedy herself who didn't see her as a threat before but now does
 * Photo Shoot and Commercial: Tom Ford Femme Fatale (new perfume); nude with male models
 * Photographer/Video Director: Taylor Vanderburgliesse
 * After a long day's shoot, the final 2 enjoy a luxury meal at the W in downtown Rein and sit with Janine Cue, Hyejeon Lee, Tom Ford, Marta Nowak and Alfred Sung - it is their chance to socialize and sell themselves to these important personnel
 * The next morning, the girls pack up and are brought to The Pier by Studio 54, where they are encouraged to model high fashion swimwear by Misty Leemans - before the show, J. Alexander gives the final 2 one last, quick runway lesson and is excited to see how far the girls have come with their walks
 * Challenge: Finale runway show - Misty Leemans
 * Immediately after the runway show, the girls are brought back out and see that their families were in the audience the entire time
 * The judges go through their entire portfolio and performance throughout the competition and judge their final week's performance as well
 * Judging & Elimination | Each judge gets one vote
 * Sarai Castrejon: Coedy, you've come so far since day one in the competition. We've seen you evolve, truly, into a beautiful woman. I think you have such immense potential and an amazing face. Your portfolio is good enough to book gigs in Paris, Milan and London. Shanae, wow. Who would've expected you to be in the final 2? You have probably the biggest transformation in the competition and you can clearly see it in the evolution in your pictures. You literally slayed the photo shoots and continued to improve these past few weeks. Your runway has always been the strongest and we were so happy to see that tonight. Based on what I've seen, I'm going to vote for Shanae as my winner.
 * Misty Leemans: Both of you have immense potential and the ability to take feedback and apply it. One of you has really shown me that you have what it takes to be a top model and you did me so proud tonight. My vote goes to sweet sixteen Coedy - I'm rooting for you and hope to see you on the runways in Europe!
 * Alfred Sung: Wow. Girls, this is a difficult decision but congratulations to both of you. One of you has captured my attention throughout the competition - and that's Coedy. I'm so proud of you. Congratulations, you are a Top Model!
