Sims Next Top Model (cycle 3)

The third cycle of Sims' Next Top Model premiered on July 11, 2012, under the name Modelland.

This season casted across the European continent, with one girl representing her country. This continental concept would make another appearance in season 9, as well. It featured ten models, with 8 newcomers and 2 returning models from other shows.

Aleksandra Grushana, representing Russia, won the competition. She is the first newcomer to have won the show.

The grand prize package this cycle included:
 * A cover and spread in Elle Magazine.
 * An international campaign with Covergirl.
 * A cash prize worth $100,000.

Changes and Twists
Unlike the two seasons prior, season three implimented the show's first gimmick. Each model this season was casted solely in the European continent, each representing her own individual country. Sahvanha Rasputine continued her role as a judge, and for the first time made an appearance in every episode of the season.

Additionally, this season was the first to feature housetime as part of the episodes, as opposed to only showing the judging of the girls' photo shoots. This would not return to the series until season eight.

Twists

 * Returnees: Models from other series were eligable to compete on this season, as part of the Modelland series.
 * Country representation: Only 1 girl was allowed to represent her country in a specific region of the world.
