Sarah Murdoch Wants Plus-Sized Models on AusNTM
Sarah Murdoch, who was recently named the new host of Australia’s Next Top Model has made it clear she wants the show to take a stand against issues facing models and the fashion industry today. She wants to follow the footsteps of Tyra Banks and included plus-sized competitors on the Aussie version of the show.
“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,” Sarah told The Daily Telegraph. “It’s not about getting an overweight girl but someone who is healthy because one size doesn’t fit all.”
Having plus-sized contestants is one area where the American incarnation is leaps and bounds ahead of international versions. Tyra has included plus-sized contestants on almost every cycle of ANTM.

Actually there haven’t been any plus-size in cycles 4, 6, 7 and 11 except if you count the semi-finalists, then you had one in cycle 4 and one in cycle 11.
