Model Employee was a reality TV show that aired on VH1 in 2013. The show invited ten male and female models from around the United States to compete for a chance to win a dream job at a famous Las Vegas resort. The contestants were given a series of challenges designed to test their real-world business acumen, with the contestant who impressed the judges the most winning the ultimate grand prize.

The panel of judges was a mix of seasoned professionals and celebrities, including the likes of model Chrissy Teigen, British business executive Shah Granville, and actress and former model Vanessa Branch. Each episode featured a series of tasks and eliminations, with the contestants who failed to live up to the expectations of the judges being sent home.

One of the show's defining features was the unique blend of business and modeling challenges. Contestants were required to demonstrate their marketing skills by creating a buzz around a new nightclub venue, for instance, or by developing a creative marketing campaign for a high-end product. In addition, the show also tested the models' catwalk skills, as well as their ability to work as a team.

Each week, one candidate was eliminated, with the winner of each challenge receiving immunity from elimination in the following round. The eliminated models were put through a rigorous exit interview, and some of them expressed frustration at their inability to deliver business results in addition to having model-like looks.

At the end of the season, the remaining two contestants were given one final challenge, which was to launch an entirely new event at the Las Vegas resort. The winner was selected based on their ability to deliver a creative and innovative event that captured the resort's brand.

The show was widely praised for its fresh take on the traditional model competition format. Rather than simply focusing on the physical beauty and modeling skills of the contestants, Model Employee aimed to unearth the best possible candidate for a business role at a prestigious resort. By combining modeling with business acumen, the show managed to set itself apart from other reality TV series in the same genre.

In particular, the judges were praised for their fair and constructive feedback throughout the show. They were seen as being genuinely invested in the contestants' success, which helped to make the overall competition feel more engaging and emotionally resonant.

Model Employee also benefited from a strong cast of contestants. The ten models came from diverse backgrounds and brought a range of different talents and personalities to the show. The contestants were all passionate about winning the ultimate grand prize, which helped to create plenty of dramatic tension as the season progressed.

Overall, Model Employee was a refreshingly original take on the reality TV genre. By combining modeling with business acumen, the show managed to create a unique and engaging competition that was a cut above other shows in the same category. The judges were particularly strong, and their constructive feedback helped to elevate the overall quality of the show, providing viewers with a truly engaging experience.

Model Employee is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (8 episodes). The series first aired on May 8, 2013.
