AimzsterWho will win Australia's Next Top Model C4?
April 29th 2008 03:22
I don’t know if I happened to watch this show on one of my bad days (where the day included a confrontation with a pub owner after becoming outraged that ‘trivia’ was spelt ‘triva’ on their blackboard), but I found this season’s top 13 annoying – as annoying as this year’s BB’s Travis’ put-on blackboard-nail-scratching falsetto. As the promo promised, there would be more bitchfest this season than in previous and I would have to agree with them. The premiere introduced us to The Bitch Crew (Rebecca, Alyce and Demelza) whose idea of fun is to wake up the other girls in the wee hours of the morning to ask who made that stinky poo in the toilet; Alexandra who doesn’t know the difference between honesty and just plain tactlessness, telling the judges she’d make a better model than another girl because she’s ‘whiter’; and the others giggling uncontrollably as ‘kooky’ Belinda fell off the set. So anyway, from first impressions, here are those I think have a good chance of winning and those who’ll fall flat on their faces, sometimes, deservedly so :
Alamela
Jodhi Meares think Alamela has a striking physical resemblance to Kirstie Clements. If I was Alamela and I heard that, I’d be pissed off. The only resemblance I can see is that freakishly-looking smile they both wear on their faces when talking to other people. Like the one Cindy from the Brady Bunch wears but you know inside, they really want to kill you, or eat you, or both.
Chances of winning : the judges, hopefully, will soon catch on that Alamela is really the bride of Chucky.
Alexandra
If Alexandra truly believes that being ‘whiter’ is what makes a top model, then she has this competition in the bag. Alas, the girl is a bitch who has a penchance for designer-name dropping, hates shopping in Westfields (the crowds, darling!), thinks clothes from Bali are crap, feels fat as a size 10 and admitted to looking down her nose at the other girls.
Chances of winning : she’s too much of a bitch for anyone to want her to win. Doesn’t she realise a percentage of the votes come from the audience? Like, duh!
Alyce
The third of The Bitch Crew whom many of the other girls think has a good chance of winning the competition. She won the first challenge, which was shooting the promo for the show and nailed her GI Jane action scenes in the first take.
Chances of winning : she’ll be in the top 2. Her runway walk was deemed one of the best in the bunch and her serious determination when asked by the judges why she wanted to be a top model convinced even me.
Belinda
Some may find her kookiness adorable & her tendency to look absolutely glassy-eyed which was later revealed as her being blind without her glasses. Surprisingly enough, intimidating Kirstie Clements took a liking to her when Belinda seemingly just walked out on set and started talking to her in her airy fairy way. Blonde with a slight buck teeth, she looks like Sophie Monk when made up, but she annoys the sh*t out of me because I smell a fake.
Chances of winning : will probably be there in the Top 5 but judges may later realise she’s not taking the job seriously enough.
Caris
Caris who? Oh the girl with the braces.
Chances of winning : she’ll be out in the next few episodes. Boring does not make a top model, unfortunately.
Demelza
The youngest of the girls, she’s been criticised by the judges as having a ‘soft butt’, aka saggy ass.
Chances of winning : she may not be a forerunner now but I think she’ll prove to be a competition for Alyce later on. Don’t ask me why.
Emma
I thought Emma is the prettiest of all girls. She has the bright-eyed look, that full-lipped smile. Unfortunately, it doesn’t extend to where it matters the most. During the promo shoot, she had absolutely no energy. While she looked stunning, her acting was worse than Elizabeth Berkeley in Showgirls. And in her photo shoot, she may as well be posing as a corpse.
Chances of winning : she was in the bottom two in the first episode. Her personality doesn’t show in the judging panel. If she keeps this up, she’ll be gone next week.
Jamie
Jamie has probably one of the best swimsuit bodies in the competition. As for everything else, she’s a total blank. Charlotte has admitted she likes Jamie better without her clothes on and she has a tendency of taking photos like she’s posing as the next Easter Bunny.
Chances of winning : she’ll be out before you can say FHM covergirl.
Kamilla
Charlotte didn’t like her from the beginning – she deemed the girl too arrogant and that she only looks good from behind. From there, I thought Kamila would stay for sure. Nothing like a bit of bitchiness in a girl’s personality to make the judges want her to stay on to create a bit of spice.
Chances of winning : Unfortunately, Kamilla gave one bland photo too many and thus was the first to be eliminated.
Kristy
Most of the girls seem to think Kristy has it in the bag to win the comp, but I must have missed something. Like Caris, she didn’t stand out for me at all, although the judges said that she had a perfect runway walk.
Chances of winning : She’s flying under the radar at the moment which makes me suspect that she’ll be hanging around for a long time.
Leiden
‘Layden’ definitely didn’t endear herself to me when she proceeded to show her anti-girly-girl nature by burping for ten seconds during an interview. Not surprisingly, she thunders down that runway like a man and when posing for the swimsuit photo, posed like ‘a dog giving birth to puppies’.
Chances of winning : I would have scrapped her at the beginning but the group shot at the end showed that Leiden does have a very photogenic face and can muster up that sophisticated, haughty model look when she wants to.
Rebecca
The ringleader of The Bitch Crew (really starting to hate that name) – her loud, opinionated attitude isn’t favoured by some girls (notably those who are loud and opinionated themselves – Alexandra & Leiden). But seriously, what is with the hair? If it was Tyra Banks judging, she would order Rebecca to do something about that nest on her head.
Chances of winning : While Jonathan may have thought she was a bit too slow to shoot, the judges will keep her around for a while, just to create a bit of racial variety in the group.
Samantha
With black hair, olive skin and light eyes, Samantha has one of the more dramatic features than any of the other girls. Unfortunately, she’s just a little too boring for me. In her photo shoot, she looked like a pleading doe.
Chances of winning : she’ll only be around for the next couple of episodes.
Yay! They finally reduced the hideous A3 photos to A4 so it doesn’t look like Jodhi is buckling under all the weight anymore. And as much as I have to admit that Jodhi ‘seems’ a little more caring toward the girls than many other reality TV hosts I’ve seen, what was up with that seriously hideous white maternity dress with gigantic red flowers during the promo shoot?
Alamela
Jodhi Meares think Alamela has a striking physical resemblance to Kirstie Clements. If I was Alamela and I heard that, I’d be pissed off. The only resemblance I can see is that freakishly-looking smile they both wear on their faces when talking to other people.
