Defamer Australia's Associate Editor is the queen of all things Australia's Next Top Model related around here. I've never seen an episode due to constantly conflicting schedules/complete and depressing lack of cable television in my life.
However, last night something strange appears to have happened. While Clem was unable to watch the finale, I managed to pop into the right house at the right time on the way home from hosting trivia and watched my first ever episode.
So here are my views on the final - bearing in mind that I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to everything to do with this show.
- Why is Jodhi Meares being employed as the host of a television show she's too frightened to actually host?
- Why did Jodhi Meares love Demelza so much?
- Is Jonathan Pease dating th winner, or what? Yes, I think the nation managed to pick up on the fact for you it's all about Demelza, Jonathan.
- Jonathan Pease versus Alex Perry = WINNER IS ALEX PERRY
- Why did the programme show clips of the infamous bullying which barely featured Demelza, and instead made it look like Alex played a role in it?! As someone who had never watched the show before, I was slightly puzzled until my friend Kerry hissed "This is all bullshit, they're trying to make Demelza look good!"
- Charlotte Dawson is quite good as a host, isn't she? Way less "I'm going to stab you, and then cry myself to sleep. YAY!" than Natalie Bassingthwaite.
- Although her right boob looked like it might go rogue at any point in that tight Alex Perry creation.
- If Alex is a nicer person, with a better figure, and someone who picked up more modeling jobs during fashion week, and an all round wiser selection for the world of international modeling than someone who is perhaps better suited to the era of mid-nineties Dolly Magazine cover girl competitions... then how the HELL did Demelza win?
- Obviously Napoloeon Perdis' taste is to be trusted rather than that of an actual Vogue editor.
All in all, I highly enjoyed the finale even though the result was confusing and plain wrong, and I look forward to having bloody Foxtel by the time next year's program starts so I never have to miss out on a thing.
Yours truly,
Your Slightly More Switched On Editor.
