Twenty-seven trainees compete for coveted idol positions on GMMTV's roster of artists.
Among the competitors, four Alphas are selected and grouped together. The remaining competitors are split into Beta groups. Each week, the groups fight either to keep their positions as Alpha or to break out of the Beta role and to stay in the competition altogether.
To celebrate the new year, the Project Alpha contestants are joined by seven GMMTV artists to play games. The Alphas and Betas put on three special performances to showcase their respective strengths.
