, decided to set in motion the project to create a Brazilian variation of the TV show created by Tyra Banks in the United States. The idea was to follow the model developed in the U.S. in terms of the contest itself and the prize to be offered to the winner, although it was decided that the general approach to the candidates would involve "less cruelty" in comparison to the example set by Tyra Banks in the United States.
One of the production decisions leading up to the show that caught the most media attention was the selection of the Brazilian model who would play the role belonging to Tyra Banks in the original. The channel's first choice was Brazil's current number one model, Gisele Bündchen
; supermodel Fernanda Motta
was then eventually chosen for the position. In order to accept the job, Motta, who lives in New York City
, reportedly cancelled most of her agenda so that she could stay in the country for 2 months straight.
Enrollment for the show took place during the month of July 2007, from the 1st of July to the 31st, and shooting for the inaugural season began on August 19, and it premiered on October 3. The season is scheduled to wrap, with the selection of the winner, on December 20.

The Challenge
The challenge usually focuses on an element important to modeling which will help the girls to improve theirs week's photoshoot. A guest judge, who is unique to each episode, evaluates the contestants and decides the winner of the challenge, who receives a prize for her victory. Sometimes the winner is permitted to choose a certain number of other contestants to receive a similar, but lesser, reward, while the others are given nothing.Judging and Elimination
Based upon the girls' performance in the week's challenge, photoshoot, and general attitude, the judges deliberate and decide which girl must leave the competition. Once the judges have made their decision, the girls are called back into the room. The host, Fernanda, calls out the names of the girls who performed well in the challenge and photoshoot, giving them a copy of their best photo from the shoot. The last two girls, whose names have not been called, are given criticism about why they were in the bottom two, and one is eliminated. The person who is eliminated does not receive a photo.Cycles
