10:37AM Clem Bastow | Apart from the obvious outcry over Demelza “Bully” Reveley taking out the crown, the biggest hoo haa following the Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 finalé has been about Jodhi Meares’ no show as the host of the finale.
It’s a bit of a moot point, as Charlotte Dawson proved (again) that she’s the better, funnier and more capable host, but really, if Meares is getting the mad bucks to be the face of Australia’s Next Top Model, surely she can take some Rescue Remedy and bring herself to face a live audience?
Apparently smarting from the backlash, Meares has had a rep
talk to the press, because evidently she’s afraid of that, too.
“From the beginning Jodhi never agreed to do a live show of that scale,” Ali Hainsworth said.
“It needs to be put out in the open because to throw something like that on someone wasn’t entirely fair.”
Uhh, that may be the case, but a casual viewing of either Cycles 1 and 2 of AusNTM or, like, every single Cycle of America’s Next Top Model would reveal the obvious point that the grand final is always “a live show of that scale”.
Those friendly folk over at the Daily Telegraph have helpfully assembled a few YouTube
highlights of Jodhi’s “work” at last year’s grand final.
And seeing as our “C’mon Tiny Mouth” campaign for Alex to win the gong didn’t go so well, we’ll be doing nothing similar to try to get Dawson the hosting slot full-time next year in case we jinx her, but let it be known that I reckon Charlotte Dawson is the bomb shit.
