Australia’s Next Top Model 4 Round-Up - Update!
The infamous Vogue Forums have been ablaze (320 pages and counting!) with rants about Demelza Reveley’s AusNTM win last night, with Voguettes threatening to cancel their Vogue subscriptions because of the 16-year-old’s bullying behaviour during this Cycle of the show.
As was mentioned previously, Vogue Editor In Chief Kirstie Clements did not vote for Demelza - and to calm the forums down (or likely inspire exactly the opposite), she has posted an official announcement on the topic:
Part of Reveley’s prize is a shoot in Vogue Australia’s September issue, with the magazine under a contractual agreement with Australia’s Next Top Model to feature the winner on eight pages, but don’t expect the amateur model to appear on the cover like last year’s winner Alice Burdeu. “Alice was such an exceptional case,” Clements says. “It was clear from the very beginning that she had the makings of an international model.”
BIZZAM! “Amateur model”! “Contractual agreement”! Drawing impossible comparisons with the Divine Miss Burdeu!
Demelza, you might have won on a technicality (that “general public” vote, pfft), but you just got served.

I don’t like Demelza because of her bullying behaviour, but I didn’t like Alex either because of her racist comments (like saying she was better than Sam because of her whiter skin) and attitute towards the other girls.
Comparing the two I don’t think Demelza was any worse.
It was obvious the judges were setting DEMONelza up for the win when Alamela was booted right away.
They were trying to paint DEMONelza in a better light, but the public isn’t buying it.
We’re not buying the “public vote” malarky either.
ANTM mucked it up BIG TIME!
Best wishes to my favorites, Alex, Leiden and Alamela.
Alex wasn’t saying she was better than Sam because of her whiter skin, she was saying that her paleness benefited her more as a model because being paler was currently in style. Not racist, given context.
And, yeah - hard to see Demelza getting two Vogue covers in a year, unlike Our Alice.
