# Supermodels (Romanian TV series)

Supermodels by Cătălin Botezatu was a Romanian reality documentary and modeling competition hosted by designer Catalin Botezatu. Prior to hosting the show, Botezatu was the host of the Romanian adaptation of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model.
After suffering from an illness the year after the filming of the third cycle of Next Top Model, the show entered a hiatus. Ultimately, Botezatu abandoned his role as head judge of the show, effectively cancelling the program. Shortly after his departure, Botezatu took on the role of head judge and host on Supermodels. Supermodels more closely derives its format from The Face.
The winner, Cătălin Bucur & Gabriela Prisacariu, received a contract with PackBackAge Concept Agency in Paris.

## Show premise

At the start of the series, each contestant was placed on an individual team. Each week, the contestants participated in a challenge, followed by a photo shoot. After the shoot, one team was granted immunity, while two contestants from the losing teams were put up for elimination. The judges then determined which contestant would leave the competition. Around two-thirds of the way through the season, the format changed—no team was saved from elimination. Instead, the judges nominated multiple contestants and voted on which of them to eliminate.
