Hanne Baekelandt
''Topmodel, season 1'' was the first season of the reality series ''Topmodel'' hosted by Ingrid Seynhaeve. Ten contestants lived together in a luxurious apartment until the top three travelled to New York City for the rest of the season. In contrast to '' America's Next Top Model'', the host was not part of the judging panel. Ghislaine Nuytten was the judging chairwoman and called out the girls onto the next round at the judging panel. The bottom two contestants were then officially ''nominated for elimination'', with Marc Douchez from Dominique Models having the final say on who went home and who stayed.
