The first season consisted of 17 episodes, with 50 child competitors, aged from 8 to 12 years old. Patiparn Pataweekarn, Bunn "Ik" Boriboon, and Chachaya "Bib" Raktakanit were the judges.[1]
The series began with the Top 50 selected from the 5,500 applicants who auditioned for the show. The Top 50 featured five heats, with ten from the Top 50 who were best at the heat's team participating in each heat. Afterwards, the judges selected four to move forward to the Top 20. Furthermore, the Top 20 competed in two challenges to pick the Top 20. Contrast to other versions, contestants are not eliminated every week; rather, four are eliminated at every stage of the competition. Every eliminated contestant received a range of prizes, including those in the Top 50.
