In late July 2011, Multimedia began announcements of changes in judging panel. The whole new judges will be revealed through every 8-hour cryptic hints from 18:15 pm Monday August 1 via the official page on Facebook; the longer it takes audience to decode these puzzles, the less the chance to earn gifts is, the clearer the judges are revealed.
According to reports from the page, there are 3 regular judges (frontmen) and some recurring ones as well. First two unveiled are designer Đỗ Mạnh Cường and make-up artist Nam Trung via their famous quotes. Then by hint no.22 (a picture) Đỗ Mạnh Cường is not officially a main judge. The host position at which Hà Anh got was kept secret. Hopefuls for replacing Hà Anh are Hồ Ngọc Hà, Ngô Thanh Vân, Xuân Lan, etc. As an ultimate consequence, Xuân Lan takes the host role over Hà Anh, leads the panel with Nam Trung and Phạm Hoài Nam. Đỗ Mạnh Cường was also introduced the fourth judge due to a number opening.
Right at the end of the first-season finale, it was confirmed that the show has been renewed for a second season. Future contestants can apply for the second cycle with requirement as mentioned above. Production was stated to start from March 2011. All the application forms must be sent by June 2011.
