List of episodes

Supermodelo 2008 was the third and final season of Supermodelo.[1] This season saw significant changes when former host Judit Mascó was replaced by Eloísa González. For the first time, male contestants were allowed to participate in a separate competition from the females, whose winner would eventually be the representative for Spain in the annual Elite Model Look contest as in the two previous years. Various changes and variations of the format proved to be very unpopular with Spanish audience and the show was cut after a total of eight weeks on air. The last week of the competition saw the back to back eliminations of the seventh, sixth, fifth and fourth placers, and the live final took place that same week on June 20 with the remaining six contestants. The winners of the competition were 21 year old Eva Prieto from Barcelona and 20 year old Oliver Baggerman from Tenerife.

Format

The main competition was held live, and a public vote determined who would be eliminated each week. Three contestants from each gender were nominated by the judges every week. Emmanuel Rouzic, José Fernández-Pacheco, and Marie-Ange Schmitt-Lebreton would each chose two nominees for elimination. Prior to this, two contestants would be granted immunity from elimination. The breakdown of each week was as follows:[2]

  • On Wednesdays, one contestant of each gender would be granted immunity.
  • On Thursdays, three female contestants would be selected to go against the public vote for elimination.
  • On Fridays, three male contestants would be selected to go against the public vote for elimination.
  • On Mondays, a nominated female contestant would be eliminated.
  • On Tuesdays, a nominated male contestant would be eliminated.

No elimination took place on the Monday or Tuesday of the first round of the finals, as there had been no nominees up to that point.

Episodes

Episodes aired from Monday through Friday beginning on April 28. Week 7 had only 4 episodes, as no episode aired on Tuesday June 10.

Casting

Originally aired: 28 April - 2 May; 5–9 May; 12–16 May 2008

In the beginning of the show the top 25 semi-finalists from each gender, a total of fifty contestants, were invited to an official casting audition which took part on a Costa cruise ship. On the first day, thirty semi-finalists were eliminated, leaving a total of 20 semi-finalists.[3] The selected contestants boarded at the Port of Barcelona, and the ship began sailing east, continuing down the Italian Peninsula to visit locations like Savona and Rome. The ship later stopped on the island of Sicily to visit Palermo, and made additional stops in Malta and Tunisia. All throughout the voyage, the models received visits from fashion experts for various lessons and photo shoot sessions. After several days of eliminations the top 8 of each gender was selected and the final 16 contestants moved into the model villa.

Week 1

Originally aired: 19–23 May 2008[4]

The sixteen finalists had their measurements taken, and two new contestants, Mario and Nora, entered the competition.

  • Entered: Mario Rodríguez & Nora Gárate

Judge and photographer Emmanuel Rouzic had a photo shoot session with the models. They also had a small presentation for Custo Barcelona, and were taught how to style themselves. 2007 winner Noelia López met with the models to share her experiences on the show. They also received a lesson on fitness and healthy eating from Martina Miserachs. Afterwards, there was a 60's themed mock runway show where styling professor Josie (José Fernández-Pacheco) went over everyone's personal sense of style. This was followed by a third and final runway inspired by the Dos de Mayo Uprising. Andres was granted immunity through the consensus of the female contestants, while Raquel was granted immunity through the consensus of the male contestants.

Judge Marie-Ange Schmitt-Lebreton deemed Javier as the best model of the week, and he was awarded €1,000 to go shopping.

Before the final save, the show went over footage of dinner between the contestants and Fiona Ferrer Leoni, a fictitious wedding between Ivan and Amparo, and a car photo shoot session Rouzic. After a second runway show, it was revealed that Isabel had received the least support from the public, and she was eliminated from the competition.
