Top Model Gossip

AusNTM 008 Premieres Tomorrow!

by Erin on April 21st, 2008

In the wake of the fourth cycle of Australia’s Next Top Model premiering tomorrow, there have ben several articles in the Australian press about the show and its stars.

Judge Alex Perry spoke to the Sunday Morning Herald about the success of the show’s previous winner, Alice Burdeu.

“No other country - not even the American one - has had an Alice,” Perry said proudly. “She’s like the benchmark and she’s from Australia.”

The article also speaks very highly of the Australian incarnation of the show, calling it better than the American version.

“I think our show’s very different to the American one,” says executive producer Josie Mason. “I think Australians are a different audience and I feel the old-school reality, where you have a twist for the sake of having a twist, doesn’t work. We definitely do err on the side of modelling. The other stuff that happens - the trials and tribulations between the girls - that’s fluff on top.”

I love AusNTM, but don’t all reality shows say that?

Host Jodhi Meare spoke to the Herald Sun about what it’s like to be the host of such a successful show.

“It was intense and I was not prepared for how full-on it was going to be,” Meares said. “But it was an experience, and hopefully this time I’ll be a lot more prepared. I was so nervous last year. I didn’t throw up, but I could have. Public speaking and anything live I don’t like generally. I don’t enjoy or do that kind of thing usually, but it’s part of being on TV and it was a challenge and in the end was fun, even though it was a crazy night.”

I’m sure Jodhi will do a great job again this cycle. She was a bit of a bland host, I found, but actually helped the girls, was at the shoots and gave them true and consistent criticism. To me, it really looked like she cared about the girls and their careers as models.

Tune in tomorrow on Fox 8!
