Season 3
Revlon Supermodel is a South African reality competition in which a number of aspiring models live together while strutting their stuff on the catwalk in the hope of winning an international modelling contract.
Each week the models perform on the catwalk in front of the judges, with one model (or sometimes more) being eliminated each week.
The third season premieres on SABC3 on Saturday 3 November 2007, at 18h00, and ends on 29 December.
Aside from winning an international modelling contract, the winning model also receives a variety of other prizes, which differ each year (see below for this year's prizes).
Season 3 Synopsis
There were 18 models in Season 2; this was whittled down to 16 for Season 3.
The action happens over a number of episodes (eleven in Season 2, nine in Season 3) as contestants get put through their paces by facing different challenges demanded of them not just in the modelling industry, but in the reality part of their experience.
In Season 2 the models were housed in a CBD penthouse - this year they will live together at Montpellier de Tulbagh, an original Cape Dutch Wine Estate, in Tulbagh, Western Cape.
The chores the models have to perform in Season 3 are no longer exclusively industry-related - they also include daily farm chores like feeding the chickens and horses, baking, farmstyle-cooking and various other chores.
The show has been expanded from a half-hour show (the first two seasons) to a full hour-long show for Season 3, presumably to allow the producers to examine more closely the reality aspect of the series.
Judged on their performances by a panel of experts, the models are kept in the dark about eliminations, not knowing when they're happening nor how many of them need to leave each week.
The third season will be co-hosted by former Miss Universe Michelle McLean and former Pitstop presenter Lise Swart.
The prizes for Season 3 are as follows:
- An international modelling contract in Europe with Beatrice Modelling Agency
- A brand new Toyota Yaris
- R50,000 cash from Revlon
- R50,000 worth of Revlon beauty products
- A Supermodel Truworths wardrobe
- A Canon EOS 400D digital camera
- Hair styling treatments worth R25,000 from Terenzo Hairdressing
- A publicity contract
- Gucci sunglasses by Sifilo
