Perspective
Keeping in line with the show's new focus on models as influencers, the cycle saw heavy involvement from the public nearing the end of the competition. The final three episodes of the season were all held live, though only the finale was held in front of a studio audience. At the beginning of the cycle's seventh and eighth episodes, all of the remaining contestants were put up for a public vote through SMS. These episodes went over pre-recorded footage of photo shoots and activities that the finalists had taken part in some months prior. At the end of these episodes, the results from the voting were revealed to the models in real-time.[7]
The cycle also featured a comeback round through which one of the previously eliminated contestants could return to the competition. In contrast to the American version however, the viewers were not involved in the decision. Judge Anna Nooshin evaluated each models' impact on social media, and made the decision based on their networking growth over the course of the competition.
During the cycle's live final, Colette Kanza was brought back as one of the four finalists. Kanza had originally been eliminated in episode 6.[8][3] For the first time in the show's history, the viewer vote decided the results of the live final in their entirety.
