Release
Series Chronology
Previous Season Cycle 16
Next Season Cycle 18

The seventeenth season of Sims' Next Top Model premiered on December 30, 2018 and featured plus-sized and curvy models only. The winner was 22-year old Gözde Arslan from Turkey.

This season was based in Greece, making it the fourth season not based in the United States, following cycle 5, cycle 10 and cycle 16 which were based in South Korea, Australia and France respectively.

The prizes this season were:

  • A cover and spread in Vogue
  • An international Maybelline campaign
  • An online ASOS Curve campaign
  • A modelling contract with NU女 Models
  • A cash prize worth € 100,000

Changes and twists

This season saw the same panel of judges, consisting of Yachana Vazirani, Maicle Gambardella and Sin Il Hong, return for a third time, but with the addition of Sims3MovieNetwork's All-Stars winner Diane Wings as a mentor for the contestants. Another change this season is that from the third episode and on, the standard length for episodes was extended from the previous 40-45 minutes during seasons 15 and 16, to 50-55 minutes - roughly 10 minutes longer.

Twists

  • Split premiere: This season, the cast was divided into two batches competing separately their first week.
  • Top Model of the Week: After each episode has been uploaded, a poll is posted accompanying the photo shoot where the viewers vote for who did the best. The winner then receives immunity for the next week. This is different from previous seasons where the photo shoot would be uploaded ahead of the episode, and the winner would receive immunity for the week the photo was taken.
  • Shoot-out: Each week, the worst performing girls get a second chance to prove themselves in the following week. The model(s) who perform worse out of the nominated contestants gets eliminated no matter how well they do in comparison to the safe models. In the finale, the top four were divided into two shoot-outs to determine the top two.

Locations

Casting

The casting call was opened on 7 May 2018, and closed on 29 September 2018 in conjunction with the Cycle 15 finale. Twenty-four girls made it to the semi-final round, and had a K-Pop inspired group shoot to determine the 14 finalists.

  • DJNB and Fontana Svizzera were bluff go-sees for the models to get accustomed to rejection for their sizes.
  • Because she was eliminated before the jobs took place, Nneka was unbooked from the clients she booked, which opened up a slot in both PaLi and Rösti Couture's shows. At the fittings, Osvany was booked by PaLi, and Nina by Rösti Couture.
