Main Cast

The 10 gorgeous contestants, who think they're competing to become "the Face of Vegas," work with a stylist and a budget of $200 and 30 minutes to create a signature "Vegas" look. Then, decked out, they pose in lighted glass cases on the Strip, as passersby drop a chip in the case of the person they choose as "hottest." However, their inner beauty is being judged as well when, through hidden cameras, we see each contestant offered a chance to steal an item out of their budget to give them an edge in the competition. Who caves? Who doesn't? Tune in to find out.

Vanessa Minnillo ("former host of ET") returns as a host and judge, but will only reveal herself to the contestants once they're eliminated. Carson Kressley ("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy") will host and judge as well, and will put his spin on things in a way only he can. Beth Ostrosky Stern, the wife of the self-described "King of All Media" Howard Stern, will be making her broadcast television debut and share her opinions on beauty, being a former model herself.

The five women contestants are Amy Schmoldt, a 22-year-old bartender from New Brunswick, New Jersey; Erika Othen, a 25-year-old singer/cocktail waitress from Long Island, New York; Liz Parada, a 31-year-old model from Hollywood, Florida; Michelle Mozek, a 21-year-old dancer from Dallas, Texas; and Regina Villano, a 22-year-old teen pageant queen from Tabernacle, New Jersey.

The five men are Craig Franczyk, a 29-year-old retail manager from Winnipeg, Canada; David Palmer, a 24-year-old DJ/astrologer from Huntington Beach, California; JD Scott, a 26-year-old real estate agent from Los Angeles, California; Michael Allen, a 25-year-old actor/model from Miami, Florida; and Taylor Bills, a 24-year-old former professional athlete from Irvine, California.
