new faces and new vocal talents. It was founded by Oilinsha Coakley,
owner of Oilinsha Models and Talent, Nassau. Similar to America's Next
Top Model the candidates are selected, 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. After night one 4 of
the contestants were eliminated when they failed to show up for a photo
shoot. Night two showcased the remaining contestants in swimsuits.
Sunday's finale was held at the Sur Club Sushi Bar & Restaurant
where the judges made their final decisions.
