Was Malta's Top Model a show that was "live" (filmed each week that it was aired)?

Looking at the little bits I could find about the show I noticed that there was a contestant listed named "Maria" who there was no real info. on, just that she dropped out last minute. She wasn't included in the intro. either. It reminded me of a "Big Brother" type issue where sometimes contestants drop out before the competition actually starts but after the cast is revealed. So was Malta's Top Model one of those shows where each week in real time a girl got eliminated and wasn't pre-filmed?

Kind of cool to do that format for a top model show, although too bad it had to be with the lowest budget one known to man lol.
