Ty - supermodel, Cycle 1 (Russian: "Ты - супермодель 1") was the first cycle of the Russian reality show on the STS TV channel, a competition of non-professional aspiring models for a contract with an international modeling agency, and a prize of $250.000. Fyodor Bondarchuk was the host of the show.

Each episode the 13 chosen finalists, who lived together in the Novohotel in Moscow, faced different competitions in modeling, sports and entertainment with an elimination round at the end of each episode where one or more of them were sent home.

When judges' favorite Sasha Oleynik placed in the bottom two in episode 4, she asked to be eliminated to free her to compete in a beauty pageant held at the same time - she was the reigning Miss Ukraine at that time - however when she was saved, Oleynik decided to quit anyway making room for Barbara Serova, who was not among the semi-finalists from episode 1. After the beauty pageant was over, Oleynik was allowed to re-enter the competition when her replacement was eliminated. Oleynik went on to achieve the second runner-up position on the show.

The winner of the competition was 17-year-old Ksenia Kahnovich who has since gained a great deal of success as a model; she walked for big names such as Versace, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Dolce & Gabbana in New York, Paris and Milan fashion shows.

Episode Guide

Episode 1

After casting calls all over Russia, the 20 semifinals arrive in the Novohotel in Moscow for their final audition in hopes of being one of the 13 finalists for the competition. After all the cellphones are removed, the girls prepare for the first test shooting in swimsuits with natural make-up and simple hair styling.

After a brief individual interview, the girls await their verdict at the very first judging panel where the general consensus is that many girls proved to have a lot of potential and seem to be able to learn what it takes to survive in the modeling business.

Olga Shekhereva is praised for the expressiveness of the mimicry of her face while Elena Umnova remains doubtful about her future in the competition due to her comparatively advanced age of 22 but sees a supporter in judge Tatiana Mikhalkova, president of the charitable foundation "Russian silhouette" who states that Umnova fits the two main things for her to be a professional model: face and figure.

Both girls are sent into the next round along with 11 others to move into the model apartment in the Novohotel while seven hopefuls are eliminated.
