website ="Scandinavia's Next Top Model" is a
Scandinavia nreality television show, based on the original concept fromAmerica's Next Top Model . It is broadcast on TV3 inDenmark ,Norway andSweden byViasat .The show is similar to the American version but the Scandinavian contestants are brought to
Paris instead ofNew York orLos Angeles and are competing for a modeling contract with Marilyn modeling agency and a make-up contract withL'Oreal .The show has some differences from the American version. Most importantly, since three countries are involved, nine women from each country compete amongst themselves before being brought together when only three from each country remain. Yet they still compete only with the contestants from the same country; not until the very end, when one competitor from each country remains, is a final winner chosen.
The hosts for each of the countries have been the female models
Mini Anden (Sweden ),Kathrine Sørland (Norway ), andAnne P (Denmark ). In Sweden, Mini left the show after few seasons, andMalin Persson took over. After the contestants from the three countries have been brought together, the show has been hosted by an American fashion expert, Cynthia Garrett.Tyra Banks , the founder of the original American version, has been asked to host or guest-host the show but she has declined the offer. The coach on all the episodes has been Herve Bernard and the posing coach was Mariana Verkerk who also appears in Holland's Next Top Model as the runway coach and as a permanent judge. The runway coach was the same as in the U.S.version, J. Alexander.The show has so far been through three seasons. The winner of "Scandinavia's Next Top Model" in 2004 was Kine Lauvås Bakke from Norway, and in 2005
Norway won again, with Frøydis Elvenes, and in 2006, the winner was Freja Kjellberg Borchies from Sweden. In 2007, Norway had their own show, hosted by Kathrine Sørland, the winner being Maria Eilertsen. The show was broadcast on TV3.Cycle Summary
