Supermodel of the Bahamas is similar to America's
Next Top Model in that it discovers new faces, most of whom have never
modeled before. The candidates are then trained and pushed to perform,
whereupon it becomes obvious after photo shoots, runway shows, and
interviews, who is made for the life of a model. http://www.
