She's Got the Look
From LoveToKnow Reality-TV
She's Got the Look is a modeling reality TV show on the TV Land network. The show is very similar to America's Next Top Model, but the main difference is that the models who are vying for the top spot are all 35 years of age or older.
She's Got the Look Format
Each season begins with a contestant search and auditions, from which twenty semi-finalists are chosen. The twenty are quickly whittled down to ten finalists after challenges designed to test their strength, poise, personalities, and abilities are judged.
The ten finalists, all women over the age of 35, then move into a loft together and the competition really begins. Each week, more challenges and tasks are assigned including makeovers, fashion challenges, and of course photo competitions. The judges send home at least one hopeful model each week, until a winner is crowned.
The Prizes
The winner of She's Got the Look earns:
- A modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models Inc.
- $100,000 in cash
- A photo feature in a major fashion magazine
