Sims Next Top Model (cycle 1)

The first season of Sims' Next Top Model premiered on May 6th, 2012, under the name Modelland. It featured eight models who previously competed on other shows from various channels. Due to this, cast members are not eligable to represent this season in the All Stars spin-off, however are still considered valid contestants and may make appearances throughout the shows runs as alumna.

The winner was Imelda Gutierrez, who tied for 5th place on BrushYourCats' third season.

The grand prize package this cycle included:
 * A cover and spread in Vogue Magazine.
 * A cash prize worth $50,000.

Format
As the first season, the cast was noticably smaller than later seasons, with only eight girls. It is also the only season entirely comprised of all stars from other franchises, however the inclusion of contestants from other series continued throughout the duration of the Modelland era.

Additionally, this season did not feature "housetime" segments. Episodes were short, and only featured the critiquing of the weekly photoshoots and the eliminations.

Another noticable difference between other seasons is the apparent lack of judges. While critiques were given to the contestants, a host and panel of judges is never seen on camera, however it was later revealed that Sahvanha was indeed the main judge of the cycle.
