Victoria riding the man pony... Is it a good photo? NEIGH!
First off, apologies to all my weekly Live Blog buddies for the absentee Live Blog on Friday night, as most of you would have seen, I was in Sydney all last week, and had every good intention of doing the Live Blog, but when the time came, I was stuck in a show. Funnily enough, later on that night I happened to see a former successful Australia's Next Top Model girl vomitting INSIDE at a bar. Inside! Like right next to a couch! No "hmmm, I'm about to spew, better run to a bathroom quick smart," she was all, "I'm a TV star, I get to spew wherever I want! RAAAAAAASPLURGHSPLASH!" They're a classy bunch, those Australians.
I just had a little look-see at last week's episode, and here are my thoughts.
On the C4 experience with Jaquie and Jermaine:
Thank God for Ruby. If she hadn't been there, the girls would have looked like a pack of awkward stuttering stanleys. What really confused me though, was how many of them thought they'd done really well when in fact they were as funny, charming, charismatic and confident as a leper with bad breath. By in large it was the show's most cringe-worthy challenge to date. I was expecting a lot from Christobelle - especially after she moonwalked into the room, but that whole hands on her hips thing didn't translate well to film. But hey - they're models - nobody expects them to say anything intelligent, right? I've heard some rumours flying, and word on the street is that Ruby has actually picked up a job as a presenter on C4. More on that as I hear it.
On the music video experience:
Once again Ruby impressed, Rebecca Rose did the worst tiger I've ever seen, Christobelle wore nothing at all and got checked out by a man who looked older than her father, and Laura worked that moustache. Did anybody else notice Victoria brushing off the lead singer's jacket after she kissed him? Did she fall in love at first kiss or what?
Then came the male models. Well, the Cleo Bachelor of the Year finalists. Most of them looked like roided up firemen, all oiled up with tattoos and work boots - about as homoerotic as you could get on a TV3 show - the location was a quarry for goodness sake. Laura turned up and worked that fireman like a pole, and it worked for her. Her's was my favourite photo of the week, we're starting to see some huge improvements from that one - could be a winner. Once again Lucy failed to impress, with Russ Flatt reiterating what I've been saying since the beginning - she just doesn't look like a model. Victoria was disappointing too, I've been espousing her cause quite vocally for a while, but this week she didn't do it for me. Hosanna keeps going from strength to strength.
I rank the pictures in this order, from best to worst: Laura, Rebecca Rose, Ruby, Christobelle, Hosanna, Lucy, Teryl Leigh, Victoria.
When it came time for judging, Sara and the rest came down hard on Rebecca Rose and she was eventually kicked off. Why? Because she only has one look, and after telling her for the past 8 weeks to get a new one, they decided that her one look should have been used in this shoot. Um... Hello? I for one liked her new look, her photo was definitely one of the best of the bunch. I can't understand why Lucy hasn't gone yet, but there's always next week!
Oh and this week's Modelism comes from Rebecca Rose after the worst possible C4 audition imaginable: "I surprised myself today, I may have that X factor!"
Riiiiiiight.

This was defiantly the best episode so far. Apart from the casting episode, which had to be good. A lot of the girls did a great job. I love Hosanna's pic. Although she doesn't look like a model, she photographs wonderfully.
I don't know why the girls had to do the whole c4 thing? Its not NZ's next top presenter. How many models do that? Being a model doesn't make you a VJ.
I listened to Rebecca Rose's interview on the Edge and she talked about her x-factor lol. Funny funny girl.
I wish Tiffany or Ajou were still in the competition, they would have looked AMAZING in this shoot and how great would it have been to see Ajou do the c4 thing.
Hope you had a great time at Aus Fashion Week :)
Hi Sally Ann, thanks for that.
I agree with you that this isn't NZ's next top presenter, but generally speaking, in New Zealand, a lot of models have to be confident enough being filmed to be able to shoot TV commercials - and sometimes even present.
The reality in NZ is that there's very little money in modelling unless you land a gig doing Farmers or The Warehouse consistently. Other than that, the money is all in TV work.
Imagine if Tiffany had been in this shoot! She would have spontaneously combusted the male model - but seeing as she's a firewoman, she would have been able to handle the situation.
Hey Isaac great to have you back!
I am so sure that this show is rigged. Right back to the selection of the Top 13 girls until now people who deserved to go DIDN'T and people like Ajoh last week and Rebecca Rose this week probably weren't the right girls to go. Perhaps others feel differently but this is my opinion.
I think Ruby was made for the C4 role and from the outset I thought her or possibly Christobelle would be the only girls who had the remote chance to pull it off. Think if Tiffany was still in the competition she would have been good in the C4 and male model challenge.
i actually thought it was good that rebecca rose went. although probably lucy should have gone before her.
ruby and laura are both really starting to shine! christobelle has kind of hit a plateau. victoria is definitely going downhill. and is it just me or does she have quite a weird personality? plus she looks quite old a lot of the time which is hardly idea. definitely impressed with hosanna these days!! at first she was definitely the worst but all her practice is really paying off. and i find her a lot more likeable now too. same goes for teryl leigh - she has definitely gotten funnier in a dry sort of way.
OOOO another Top Model show to add to my agenda... Lovely, lovely, very good, very good.
Now tell me, who is the little crack whore spewing everywhere? My mum lives for that kind of stuff, wyou wouldn't want to dissapoint her now would you?
