Sylvie, a student from Edmonton, Alberta, became the first girl eliminated on the Premiere Episode of “Canada’s Next Top Model”, reducing the pool from ten girls to nine.
In the premiere episode, the girls arrive in Victoria, British Columbia and receive their first video mail from Host Tricia Helfer welcoming them all to the competition. They are then introduced to first guest judge, “America’s Next Top Model” Creative Director Jay Manuel. Jay’s first challenge for the girls is an au naturel photo shoot where they must remove all their makeup and pose for Jay’s Polaroid camera. Some make funny faces and others don’t know how to pose, Jay isn’t impressed. The girls must then assemble an outfit in five minutes and use a winding, uneven wooden deck as a European runway. All the girls have trouble with the challenge, but Jay deems Heather the best of the worst.
At their first full photo shoot, Jay meets the girls and introduces them to Photographer, Andrew MacNaughtan. The shoot’s theme is “Iconic Women of Rock”, where the girls get their first taste at professional modelling. Even though they all look fierce, Jay says Brandi is the most together “first timer” he’s ever seen. Tenika bares all backstage and wins no points with the rest of the girls….or with Tricia!
During the first elimination ceremony, the girls meet the judges: Stacey McKenzie, model and runway coach, Paul Venoit, celebrity hair and makeup stylist and Jeanne Beker, host of “FT-FashionTelevision.” Although Sylvie’s photo is brilliant, the judges are unhappy with her attitude and appearance at the judging. In the end, Sylvie is eliminated.
Coming up in Episode Two next Wednesday, the girls receive makeovers! And, let the catfights begin, as the girls gang up against “one of their own”, in an attempt to kick her out of the mansion … and the competition!
Canada’s Next Top Model will walk away with a $100,000 beauty contract from Procter & Gamble. The winner will receive a modeling contract with top agency, Sutherland Models and be featured in an editorial spread in Fashion Magazine.
Episode Two of “Canada’s Next Top Model” airs Wednesday, June 7th at 8:00pm (7:00pm CT) on Citytv.
