Top Model (Scandinavia cycle 4)

Top Model, cycle 4 (or Top Model Curves) is the fourth cycle of the Scandinavian edition of Top Model. This season premiered after a decade-long hiatus since the third cycle in 2006.

There were a few major changes this cycle. In contrast to the previous three cycles, there were no individual national competitions, and the pool of contestants was merged from the beginning. The number of contestants per country was lowered to 6, as opposed to the usual 9-10. This cycle was also the franchise's first plus size edition, and contestants were required to meet a minimum size requirement of 42. (With some exceptions made.) The show also introduced a panel of new judges.^[1][2] These included Danish singer and songwriter Lina Rafn, Norwegian fashion journalist and television personality Janka Polliani, and Swedish fashion stylist Jonas Hallberg.^[3][4]
