Canada's Next Top Model is a Canadian reality show in which female contestants compete for the title "Canada's Next Top Model" and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. The winner receives a modeling contract from Elmer Olsen Modeling Agency, a $100,000 beauty contract from Procter & Gamble, and an editorial spread in Fashion magazine. CNTM is based on the successful American franchise America's Next Top Model. It is produced by Temple Street Productions in association with CTVglobemedia and CBS Paramount International TV. Three cycles have been produced and aired.
After an overwhelming response from the cross-country audition tour, 20 finalists gathered in Toronto in hopes of becoming Canada’s Next Top Model. The girls arrived at Polson Pier and anxiously waited for the competition to begin. Host Jay Manuel arrived in a sleek black helicopter and informed the finalists he only had room for half of them and the other half would be going home right away. He called forward nine girls and said he was done. But much to everyone’s shock, he revealed the women he had picked were real models – and the other 11 were actually in the competition.
As week 1 of the competition came to an end, Jill tried to come to terms with being in the Bottom 2 during eliminations as the other girls adjusted to life in the house without Tiffany.
The girls had little time to reflect on what it was going to be like without Jill in the competition as a ‘Jay Mail’ informed them it was time to focus on making a big splash in modeling.
After eliminations, the girls returned home to find a note from Ebonie telling them to stop complaining because they were the luckiest girls in the world.
Tara’s elimination was an emotional one but the girls had to wipe their tears away and get ready to be thrust into the spotlight.
The girls returned home to find a letter from Rebeccah as a ‘Jay Mail’ arrived asking if they wanted to find out what it’s like on the top.
As the girls returned to the loft after eliminations, Nikita reflected on how much she would miss Heather and Meaghan said at least no one would get them confused anymore. Linsay said for the first time she felt like she could win this, while the girls expressed their surprise that Maryam was still in the competition.
Over the past seven weeks, the finalists have battled icy nerves, hot flashes and racing emotions. With eight girls down and three left, it all comes down to this. Will it be Nikita, Meaghan or Linsay? The final three battle it out for the big prize but only one can be Canada’s Next Top Model.
