Top Model Online (Cycle 12)

***Top Model Online Cycle 12: Double Up*** is the twelfth season of the online competition, inspired on the American franchise America's Next Top Model, in which a number of models compete for the title of *Top Model Online* and a chance to become popular in the social media. The competition features different kinds of models: models from Top Model franchises, male and female supermodels and amateur models.

An extensive online search takes place for the selection process. There are posts scattered all over Facebook, in the official Top Model Online page, Facebook groups and other pages for them to be able to see the latest news and updates about the Casting Calls.

Every cycle has its own variant of requirements. For this cycle, the requirement is being a model from any Next Top Model franchise across the world.

For this cycle's twist, there will be two sets of models, guys and girls, which will be battling separately according to their sex, and will be presenting in separate episodes alternately until 12 models are named with 6 guys and 6 girls. These 12 models will be battling the 12 eliminated models, and with no certain number of eliminated models can make a comeback if they defeated a model in a head-to-head-comeback challenge. This is the first time where casting is broadcast online. This also marks as the first time to feature previous winners of TMO in a photo shoot with the Top 12.

The winner of Top Model Online will be featured in Top Model Online's official fashion spread, Haute Magazine, an advertisement campaign with Top Model Online's clothing line, Major Wear and both the model and its user will have the chance to gain popularity in the social media.

The winner of the cycle was Ta Quang Hung and his user, Chachie Regacho. This also marks as the second win of Chachie Regacho in the show.
