Best of The Best

We introduce the audience to the models, photographers and judges arriving at the Viva Wyndham Hotel on Grand Bahamas island. We meet Best of the Best founder, photographer Rick Hughes and featuring pop star diva Chelsea Bishop, a judge, photographer Frank Roberts, British photographer Zoe Christou Welsh and the Dean Farrell, an aggressive, opinionated photographer out of Arizona.

This episode we look at models Arian Mayer and Jenna Lawrence; one a 'say anything' human tornado, the other, her unreserved friend, always ready with a smile and a joke. We meetCanadian photographer Mark Laurie. We watch friendly midnight banter between models. Continuing to guide us through all the introductions is event-founder Rick Hughes and pop-star diva judge Chelsea Bishop.

We conclude our intro of the participants. We meet more new models. The show also highlights photographers Kyle Wolf, Lawrence Klein, Mike Davis and Adrian Chell. We learn that Gia is an accomplished designer as well as model, and hear from rural English-countryside native Adrian Chell about the differences between British and American photography.

The competition begins! Our judges break down who gets an early start and who seems to be winning right out of the box. The episode is rounded out with interviews from the participants. They discuss and evaluate their performance.

Again, the judges Rick Hughes, Frank Roberts and Jim Lewchuk evaluate the talent and asses how well the participants are doing from the start. They look at the video from the photo shoots and comment on technique and dramatic twists and turns.

The rest of the participants begin their competition. Host Chelsea Bishop also wears her judge's hat more in this episode. She and Rick Hughes take us through an assessment of this final group of competitors. Lawrence Klein's late arrival is seen as an impediment to his winning. LaurieAnn Tyler and Abi Jameson are critiqued for not photographing as well as they should.

The participants reach the heart of the competition. The judges comment upon as they evaluate the participants shooting styles and personality. Finished photos from the shoots are now presented onscreen. The judges break down who has the best 'eye' and command of their craft.

More participants reach the heart of the competition. The judges evaluate the photo shoots and the pictures. The models seen in this episode are Abi Jameson, Alesha Grant, Ashlee Whitaker, Tayler Zirkle and LaurieAnn Tyler.

The final group of participants are seen performing in the heart of the competition. Once again, pictures and video from the shoots are used by judges to evaluate the competitors.

The participants race to the end of the competition. The judges show us their assessments using the photographers' finished pictures and video from their photo shoots. The photographers Bob Rider, Roy Graber, Mark Laurie, Joe and Jonathan Shea are featured.

Another group of participants reach the end of the competition. The judges evaluate them all, as well as the featured models. The models in this episode are Alesha Grant, Uriia Underhill, Gia Vittoria, Jenna Lawrence and Arian Mayer. Arian is fighting her way out of the mid-pack. Alesha is in the top four. Jenna and Uriia, however seem to have just a little too much ground to make-up.

The final group of participants reach the end of the competition. The judges tell us each of these models are well out of the top running. It remains to be seen who finishes strongest of this middling pack. The photographers in this show are Zoe Christou Welsh, Dean Farrell and Adrian Chell. All three of them are in the top four. The final episode will tell us who got the top prize.

The competition comes to its exiting conclusion. All the late night Photoshop sessions by the photographers give us our top three winners. The episode showcases the winning model and photographer. We see a segment of their home life and find out what drives and sustains them. We end with some parting words from Best of the Best founder Rick Hughes on participants performance
