From executive producers Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, this new series determines the True Beauty of six stunning females and four handsome males who live together in a spectacular Los Angeles mansion as they undergo a series of challenges to determine who is truly the most beautiful. The gorgeous contestants assume they're being judged solely on their outer appearance. Physical beauty is one component the judges are looking for, but the contestants are also being evaluated - unknown to them — for their inner beauty, and are put in situations requiring them to make moral decisions. Each episode showcases an outer and inner beauty challenge, and the contestants will be judged on everything from how well they perform in photo shoots to how well they respect their elders. The three judges — Vanessa Minnillo, Cheryl Tiegs, and Nolé Marin — will observe and critique the contestants' behavior and eliminate one person each week. Only after elimination is the truth about the show revealed.

    8. The Final Test

    Finale

    Only three beauties have made it to the finale. The judges pair the contestants with a real-life celebrity who parties with them all night, but, instead of getting to crash back at the hotel after a long night, the exhausted contestants are whisked to a new location to shoot a commercial for Las Vegas, and they must memorize lines, learn blocking and be at their absolute best. One completely cracks from lack of sleep. And, in a stunning game-changing moment, Vanessa Minnillo confronts the contestants and shows them exactly what the "spy" cameras have captured when the contestants were unaware. Who epitomizes both inner and outer beauty? Who will be crowned the winner, getting $100,000 and a photo featured in People magazine? Find out in the season finale.

    It's down to the final four contestants, and this week's hidden camera inner beauty challenge puts each contestant in the proximity of a pregnant woman (actually, she's an actress pretending to be pregnant) who is drinking and smoking. Will any of the beauties speak up about this health hazard? The "outer beauty" challenge - to be the best blackjack dealer at the high rollers' table - proves to be poor timing for one contestant who drank all day poolside, and a mortifying experience for another who doesn't know the rules of the game and has trouble with math. The winner of the blackjack challenge is chosen by the pit boss and will go on to the finale. Who will be sent home?
