Australia's Next Top Model

[Shinola]

I was really disappointed in the choice of the final two.

I can understand why the judges might feel like Cassi can be turned into a model--she has the body and has a reasonably photogenic face.

And I'm not surprised to hear that some of our Aussie gossipers know first- or secondhand that Clare is a bitch.

But Tahnee's body ... where would she fit into the industry besides commercial and beauty shoots? I like her figure, but it's not even a Cindy Crawford type of look she has.

And Cassi doesn't seem particularly close to being a pro model at this point. Unless someone comes up with a serious plan to keep her focused and improving after the show is over--like full-time oversight--I wonder if she could really do anything in the modeling industry.

Whereas Clare was already a capable model. It's true she behaved badly there at the end with her comments and throwing the frog in the pool, but obviously she was upset to have been ousted after doing pretty well in the challenge.

I also feel a bit bad for Clare because she was so intent on coming across as mature, but obviously that's just a facade, and behind that she's a kid like the others. She doesn't know herself very well yet.

It seemed like Sarah was suppressing a bit of glee when she came up with the plan to just have everyone say who was their personal favorite to decide who went home. Based on others' comments, she'd already tallied up in her head who would be staying if they decided that way.

did u not watch the episode when they all went abroad?? the industry ppl love cass and i totally get it she is a rough diamond but her walk is shit...like they said she is the next kate moss!! but what i can't believe is the fact that that clare booked 4 shows on that challenge and tahnee booked 1 and then clare got elimated.clare won the challenge and prooved she has what it takes to make it in the industry....and just because sarah murdoch has a hardon for tahnee she made it into the final 2....
from the get go i stated clare would win and it's bullshit that she is now gone..tahnee has no potential as a model her body is not realistically a model but she will win..it's a public vote now!! most of australia hate's cassie but she is more deserving in terms of capacity of modelling! i honestly expected tahnee to go weeks ago..the final should have been between adele and clare!!

Yeah, I watched it. I noticed that the industry people liked Cassi, but that is all within the structure of the show, and as much as the Top Model people like to pretend that the girls are going to regular castings, they aren't quite real life.

I just don't see how Cassi will have the drive, maturity, and focus to succeed, even with a modeling contract. I'd love to be proved wrong, though.

If enough of the judges vote for Cassi, then Tahnee can't win even if the public vote for her.

Clare and Adele were both better, agreed.

Wait! So booking almost all the shows during the Australian Fashion Week, wining the challenge, doing good at the photoshoot, and being consistent gets you sent home on this show?

Really?

Wow Sarah Murdoch, you're a dumbass just like your father-in-law. :/

[buttmunch]

My favorite part of the show the other night was Sarah bloody Murdoch saying about Cassi 'She has lied to me about practicing her walk and about smoking, yada yada yada..' I was sitting there thinking 'get off your high horse you over-rated bitch, she's 16 years old and being put on the spot so OF COURSE she lied to you.' And who the fuck is Sarah Murdoch? I hear she modeled but hell, the only I've ever heard of her is due to her marriage. That woman is irritating beyond words. Can we vote her out?

*edit: Just did a little google search (sarah murdoch+bitch) and it seems she went into the show this season with an agenda:

New host of Australia’s Next Top Model, the lovely and exceedingly wealthy Sarah Murdoch, has declared she’s seeking curvaceous ladies for the next installment of the program. No word on whether they need to embrace their inner hatred of science nerds, though.

Here’s the skinny on Sarah Murdoch’s first mission in her role as the new host of Australia’s Next Top Model - she wants to find a plus-size superstar.

In an industry obsessed with body image, the 36-year-old media darling and tireless charity campaigner says that discovering a larger role model entrant is her ultimate goal for the fifth series of the Foxtel show.

Sounds promising! We can only hope that whichever busty wench is picked out from the crowd by Mrs Murdoch and thrust into the national spotlight doesn’t end up cracking from the bitchy comments of scrawny teenage bitches who cannot, like, believe she even, like, ate those carbs! Is she retarded?

Sarah goes on to say:

“I am really pushing for a plus-size model this series because I am a big believer in healthy body types and encouraging girls to be the right body type,” the Bonds ambassador said.

“It’s not about getting an overweight girl but someone who is healthy because one size doesn’t fit all.”

All well and good. But what if Australia’s Next Top Model With Decent Cans ends up finding fame and fortune? How will you help ensure she doesn’t fritter away her bucks on pointless purchases and bad investments, Sarah?


“I want to make sure these girls are going into the industry with the right knowledge because it’s a very grown-up world,” Murdoch told TV editor Erin McWhirter.

“You can be financially independent from a young age if you have a good head screwed on your shoulders. I would like to have more about the business side of things and the best way to financial plan.”

As a newly converted fan, I cannot wait to see the Meares-less next series of the program, and I have a feeling Sarah Murdoch - while no pie-eating Charlotte Dawson - will do rather well as host.Australia’s Next Top Model Host Seeks Voluptuous Girls | Defamer Australia

This is kind of bullshit because they're supposed to be finding the best girl to make a career. Tahnee, although dumb, isn't huge except by modeling standards but she could get away with that body if she actually knew how to use it.

I used to watch ANTM but we don't have channel V anymore here.

lol But Tahnee is her favourite.

I think the final 2 should've been Cassi and Clare.

I know- I loved Adele. She's just stunning, and she had the height to model and a good head on her shoulders. Love this photo:


Clare was made to be a runway model but her photos are just boring, and there's something about her that is often creepy:


But then other times, she's just stunning:



Cassi really is quite photogenic. And I've found her edit really interesting- all season she was built up like the most vile contestant ever, and now all of sudden we see her as sweet, making a huge turnaround, etc.

But the girl definitely has a model look:


The only thing about Cassi is that she is going to have to get her teeth fixed.

I don’t like how Cassi always comes up with excuses.

I think Claire was surprised to leave but I think she will do well anyway. I loved when she said. “You can’t be like some skinny hungry bitch model walking down the runway…”

How many times has Cassis frog ended up in the water now?

I think I prefer Cassi to win, she will probably have a better career than Tahnee.

I don't understand why Adele was booted - I think she would've been great for the runaway shows.

I was hoping for a Cassi and Adele final. Tahnee isn't a top model - she'll do well commercially or on TV. (or maybe acting)

[DitaPage*]

I really don't want Tahnee to win. I'm actually going to have the whole sweaty palms, racing heart thing going on during the show on Tuesday

[00Kimmi00]

I'm sure this has been said, but...Cassi is definately the winner in my eyes. She's a pathological liar, a self centered crybaby, dramaqueen and a bogan....but those photos and that walk...wow.
It'll be interesting to see whether her winning will turn her into an even bigger headcase...or bring her back to down earth.

[DitaPage*]

She's a pathological liar, a self centered crybaby, dramaqueen and a bogan

Which is exactly why I want her to win! She's not boring.
Tahnee will be fine... FHM will be calling.
