Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business

Sixteen budding models must convince academic Renaissance man Ben Stein and fashion industry guru Mary Alice Stephenson that they possess brains as well as beauty. But not everyone can spell success or walk and talk their way down a runway! Who will make the callback, and who will be sent packing?

The models must compete in a smarts-draining game show, where the prizes are clothes and props for a high-fashion photo shoot. The losers have to face the camera completely naked. Later, cultures clash and passions ignite as the models are forced to work in teams of two, and one is shown the door.

The models will expand their minds, and hopefully not their waistlines, when they compete in a true battle of the bulge. Then, after a grueling workout under the watchful eye of fitness guru Gilad, several models gang up on the loudmouth of the house. Will one of them eat crow or face being purged from the competition?

Bill Nye the Science Guy helps the models present a science fair. Can they succeed in electrifying the judges or will it all blow up in their faces? Nerds may be smart, but can the models turn their pale, hairy teammates into tanned gods for the camera?

A field trip to a high school science classroom puts the body-conscious models' knowledge of anatomy to the test...literally. And when one model's underhanded tactics during a commercial shoot inflame everyone's tempers, someone gets left out in the cold.

Eight models find themselves boxed into a geometric mess. Fashion designer Santino Rice helps them design and model their own clothing. But tempers flare, alliances form and not everyone makes the cut.

A birthday bash becomes a disaster as the seven models discover they must network with LA's top fashion agents and fashionistas after they've had one too many! One model has a melt down, but can the others keep their cool?

It's survival of the fittest as the models battle it out in a treadmill challenge to win a changing room with a view - of the runway. And will an alliance triumph, or fail when its members try to navigate a treacherous obstacle course before hitting the catwalk?

One model must go it alone as the others pair up to build and race go-karts. Another model makes a secret phone call to give himself an edge on the next challenge: spokesmodeling the Jaguar XKR. Will the others call him out for cheating? Who will the judges send home, and who will move on to the finale?

Only 3 models are left and the heat is really on when they travel to sunny Palm Springs to compete in a supersized modeling challenge. Only two will survive this best of the best challenge and move on to the final challenge.

The two remaining competitors are bitter rivals who will stop at nothing in their battle to win it all. When it's all said and done, one of them will take home the grand prize of $100,000 and be crowned America's Most Smartest Model.
