Holland's Next Top Model season 2
The second cycle of Holland's Next Top Model premiered on 12 March 2007 on RTL5. All of the previous season's judges returned for the new cycle, with the addition of former model and runway coach Mariana Verkerk as a new panel member. Stylist Hildo Groen replaced makeup artist Dominique Samuel as a mentor for the contestants. This was the first cycle of the show to feature a live finale, with a combined vote from the public and the judges to determine the winner.
Holland's Next Top Model season 2
Holland's Next Top Model is a Dutch reality television series, produced by Endemol, based on Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model. The series began airing in November 2006 on RTL 5, and has enjoyed a fair amount of success in the years since its inception. It has been relatively effective in its mission to find new talent, most notably with discoveries like those of cycle 4 contestant and finalist Patricia van der Vliet, cycle 5 winner Tamara Weijenberg and cycle 7 runner up Sanne De Roo.
