Cringe fest + bias + unprofessionalism
This show tried but failed big time. Intm was much better and very fair. If you're going to judge a subjective competition, the number one thing to do is to not have biases or favourites. It was not only obvious but admitted by the judges themselves that they have favourites. Some contestants got extra pep talks when they were in the bottom while the other bottom contestants got nothing. Some of the contestants received extra directing and feedback during photo shoots while others didn't, and obviously some contestants were saved when they shouldn't have been. The judges were backtracking on their opinions. They would form a negative opinion about a certain photo or video from one girl, but if one of their favs did the same thing they would say good things about her. The whole scoring system where Malaika scores at the very end is literally the absolute definition of unfair. She is literally in charge of the the final ratings and controls the winning and losing girl. Just because it's your show, it shouldn't mean you should be able to rig everything.
Secondly, the challenges were NOT AT ALL supermodel worthy challenges. Only the audition challenges and the elimination challenges were high-class "supermodel" challenges. I would have given a 1 star, but the second one was because of SOME of the interesting challenges. Some of the runways were up to par but most of them were dull and not criticized enough. Most of the clients were either Livon, the headphone brand, or MTV. They are preparing these girls to be the brand ambassadors Livon, or they are preparing them to be in a tv ad for some small company. At best this show should be called "Malaika and Livon's local model of the year".
Thirdly, I know obviously that because judging models is so subjective, the outcomes and opinions might be different from what the audience thinks. But I have watched many hours of other modelling shows from different countries and I have never disagreed with the judges this much. I'm not saying all of their judgements were bad, but there were so many pictures that were amazing and some were on the international, which were not praised. And some that were absolutely not up to the par, but it was loved by the judges.
I feel bad for the girls because with good judges, good direction, fair challenges, and good exposure, these girls could have been very well prepared and gotten many more deals. Even if I give them the benefit of the doubt in terms of the fact that they may not have been able to get many designers and brands to showcase the girls or be involved in the challenges, at least control what you can: don't rig the show.
The good things about the show was: 1. Anushka and Ujwala 2. The fact that they picked 3 pictures from photo shoots instead of 1, because it helps judge the variation a model can give and eliminates bias about not picking the best shot. HOWEVER, they completely misused that aspect of the show and rigged it so that the girls they wanted to eliminate "showed no variation" even though clearly during the task the audience can see the constant showing variations. I understand that even though some girls show variations, the photo might not turn out well, but I feel like they should use at lease one of the variations instead of making it seem like the girl stood in one place and did nothing.
3. The variations in task to expose the girls to different kinds of modelling. This way the girls who are best at runway can stick to runway and who are best at tv shoots can do more tv shoots, etc.
