The CW wants to up its fierce factor.

The network has ordered a pilot for "Operation Fabulous," a spinoff of "America's Next Top Model" that will feature Jay Manuel and J. Alexander, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

On "Operation Fabulous" Jay Manuel and J. Alexander, known as Mr. Jay and Miss J, will take their fashion know-how on the road, stop in various towns and select five arguably unfabulous particpants on whom to work makeover magic "Top Model"-style. This means that the lucky chosen ones will learn how to dress, style their hair and apply makeup in order to boost their confidence with the support of family, friends and their community.

On "Top Model," Manuel is the creative director for the aspiring models' photo shoots, while Alexander is the runway guru and sits on the judges panel.

The show is executive produced by "Top Model" heads Tyra Banks and Ken Mok. They're also bringing another fashioned-themed show to The CW. The reality competition show "Stylista" will debut on the network on Wednesday, Oct. 22.
