Over a period of several weeks, the lucky participants will go through intensive training in the modeling field. They will be trained by some of the top modeling experts in the world...experts who will teach them about fashion, runway skills, physical fitness and publicity. During this entire time, the participants will live under one roof in a house or loft that is equipped with cameras and microphones to record their every move, 24-hours a day, and 7-days a week. Top finalists will proceed to an international destination(Country,state, Island, Kingdom) that will be decided on by the producers, where they will spend 1 to 2 weeks doing several activities in the series, and finally announce the winner from there.
