In a casting special the 24 finalists will be whittled down to the final 14 models who will ultimately compete for $100,000. The winning model will also receive a modeling contract with New York Model Management, a professional modeling agency committed to promoting top talent and exciting new faces to the fashion industry with a roster of models. Based on the successful UK series, "Make Me a Supermodel" is hosted by supermodels Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford.

The competition is fierce on the premiere of "Make Me A Supermodel". The supermodels move into their New York apartment and get to check out their competition. Hosts Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor tell the designers what their first challenges will be.

It's all about appearance and attitude in the second episode of "Make Me a Supermodel" as the boys and girls are transformed and start to look and feel like real fashion models. Then the models learn how to ooze attitude on the runway.

Chemistry is put to the test on "Make Me A Supermodel" as the male and female models are paired up to see who generates the most heat. For the photo shoot, the models must find ways to work together to sizzle for the camera, and on the catwalk they'll find out if they can share the spotlight.

The competition heats up when the models have to take it all off. They'll learn the need for poise and elegance while taking direction from an artist. The temperature will rise even further when the models must let go of their inhibitions and pose for a circle of art students who will sketch them in charcoal.

The competition gets serious when the models go to work at New York's glamorous Fashion Week, where they're forced to step up their game in the presence of established working models.
