Cycle 6 Plot
The sixth cycle of Australia's Next Top Model is an Australian reality television program which is broadcast on the Australian subscription television channel, FOX8. The cycle premiered on 20 July 2010. Auditions were held on 16–24 January 2010 across Australia in six cities. Sarah Murdoch reprised her role as host and lead judge for this cycle. The winner of this cycle was 17 year old Amanda Ware from Mermaid Beach, Queensland. Due to an error during the live finale broadcast, Kelsey Martinovich was initially announced as winner. Consequently, she won several prizes usually reserved for the winner; including a A$25,000 cash prize, an all expenses paid trip to New York City to meet with potential modeling agents and a dulled cover and spread in Harper’s Bazaar Australia.
Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 6 aired on July 20th, 2010.
Cycle 6 Episodes
1. The First Step
Sixteen new model-hopefuls arrive at Australian Fashion Week to meet their host, Sarah Murdoch. Sarah announces their first challenge and reveals there will be five eliminations rather than one. They are then introduced to their style mentor, Josh Flinn.
2. 21st Century Denim
Denim is the theme, as the girls discover what it takes to be a model. But its all through trial and error, as photo shoots reach new heights and a Channel V challenge leaves the girls tongue tied.
3. Before and After
The girls learn that becoming a model is not just about having a makeover, but how they cope with and embrace their transformations, and how they reveal their true selves to the camera.
4. Nowhere to Hide
This week's swimwear theme tests the girls physically and mentally, as they're left with no where to hide at a runway show and on a freezing cold photo shoot.
5. Looks of the Street
The girls take their first trip away, and their first go sees with Melbourne's top fashion designers. They are then challenged in a national street wear campaign and shock elimination.
6. Magazine Animals
At the halfway mark in the competition the girls audition for their first TV commercial with Telstra. But first, photographer and judge Jez Smith and casting director Nicola Koke give the girls a lesson about their faces. They’re taught the secrets of making the most of their best and worst features and how best to express emotion at photo shoots. The lesson will be invaluable for the week ahead.
7. Fashionably Freezing
The theme might be lingerie but the week will test the girls both physically and mentally. First Charlotte, Alex and Josh lead lessons in yoga, gym and tap dancing. Sophie realises her ‘guns’ are no match for Alex’s toned biceps but its Kathryn who really needs to work out more for her stamina. Jess takes to the downward dog at Charlotte’s yoga lesson and Amanda and Kelsey get an ‘A’ for effort from Josh but an ‘F’ for fail for their tap ability.
8. Now It's Serious
In a week of high end fashion the girls earn their blisters in a punishing public parade through city streets, pose in designer labels on a luxury yacht, and dangle from a silvery vine in order to win a national advertising campaign.
9. Lost In Translation
The top four girls are literally lost in translation in Tokyo, where they’re tested by modelling a wide range of fashion, from traditional kimonos to avant garde ‘naughty school girl’ street wear.
10. The Final Three
The final three face their biggest challenge so far. It’s time to find out who is ready to be a professional model. It will decide which girl eventually, as winner, will make the cover of Harper’s Bazaar.
11. Live Finale
The LIVE FINALE brings back all 16 girls as the top three battle it out to be Australia’s Next Top Model and for the first time in ANTM history, the audience’s vote will determine the winner.
