Australia's Next Top Model, Cycle 9 is the ninth cycle of Australia's Next Top Model. It began to air on 30 April 2015 at 7:30 pm AEST (UTC+10).[2] Like last season Jennifer Hawkins will host the show. Alex Perry returned as a judge for this season, while Cheyenne Tozzi was added as one of the new co-mentors alongside Didier Cohen, who was also a judge on the previous season.[3][4][5]
Among the prizes this season are a one-year modelling contract with IMG Sydney, a twenty thousand dollar prize from TRESemmé along with the opportunity to be a part of New York Fashion Week, a brand new Mazda 2 Genki, as well as being featured in an editorial spread for Elle magazine Australia.[1]
Series summary
This series saw 12 new contestants with a thirteenth cast member to be added in as a wildcard contestant. In contrast to the former two cycles, there was no casting episode this season. A new scoring system was implemented in the show, with models receiving a score on both the challenges and shoots to determine who would go home. The ten weeks of the competition are themed, with each episode focusing on an aspect of the industry.[1]
Requirements
All applying contestants were required to be aged 16 to 21 in order to apply for the show. Those auditioning had to be at least 172 centimetres (68 in) tall. To qualify, all applicants had to be an Australian citizen currently living in Australia.
Additional requirements stated that a contestant could not have had previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last five years, and if a contestant was represented by an agent or a manager, she had to terminate that representation prior to the competition.[6]
Auditions
Auditions were held once in Newcastle, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth. They were held in two different venues in Sydney and Melbourne.[3][7]
In addition to the audition tour, an online selfie competition dubbed 'Australia's Next Top Selfie' was held for models who were unable to show up for the auditions under the premise that 'No stone would be left unturned in the search of Australia's Next Top Model'. Applicants were required to submit a photograph tagged #antmselfie on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. All live audition requirements still applied.[8] The winner of the competition was granted a spot within the final cast.[9][10]
Guest judges
Instead of finding a replacement for the late Charlotte Dawson, the show opted to include a special guest judge each week. Foxtel Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh explained: "The whole team on the show has been deeply affected by the loss of Charlotte earlier this year. We feel the series will never be the same without her and in 2015 we will welcome a special guest judge each week to join the judging panel as in our minds Charlotte is irreplaceable."[11]
The guest judges for this year include Alessandra Ambrosio, Alexandra Agoston, Alyssa Sutherland, Coco Rocha, Elyse Taylor, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kelly Osbourne, Kim Kardashian, Linda Evangelista, Megan Gale, and Tyra Banks.[12][13][14][15][15]
Episode guide
Episode 1 - "Girl Gotta Do"
Original airdate: 30 April 2015
The episode begins with America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks speaking about the success of the show, and dedicating the newest season to the late Charlotte Dawson. Afterwards, the twelve selected girls from auditions are all driven to meet Jennifer and Alex. They explain that a new system will be used in determining who stays and goes during eliminations. Modeled after seasons 19, 20 and 21 of the American adaptation, the models will be scored on a scale of one through ten for their performance on the weekly challenge as well as the results of their photo shoot. In contrast to the American version, there is no social media voting. It is then announced that the models will have to prepare for their first challenge, a fashion show in front of Australia's fashion elite. Didier Cohen and Cheyenne Tozzi are introduced as the models mentors for the show.
Most of the girls do well in the challenge, with Ayieda struggling the most with her heels. Brittany's stress gets the better of her, leading to a breakdown. The challenge scores are revealed when the contestants move into the top model home the following day. Lucy is revealed to have the highest score at nine, while Cassie and Ayieda are tied for the worst at four points.
On the day of the photo shoot, Didier and Cheyenne introduce the models to their photographer Gary Heery to create perfect black and white portraits. Before the shoot begins, guest judge Alessandra Ambrosio walks into the room to coach the girls during their sessions.
At panel, Lucy is the first girl to be judged. She receives lukewarm feedback on her photo and is declared safe with a 28. One by one, the girls are judged, shifting their positions in the ranking as they receive their final number. Cassie is the second to last girl called, receiving a total of 22 points and earning the last slot on the leader board. Kaitlyn is called forward to receive her critique, and is told that if she is unable to place higher than Cassie, she will be automatically eliminated. The judges agree that she appears too timid and unsure. After receiving her scores, she falls short by 2 points, becoming the last name in the ladder and the first girl to leave the competition.
