Make Me a Supermodel was an Australian reality television series based on the successful British TV series of the same title. It debuted on the Seven Network on 6 August 2008[1] and was hosted by the former Miss Universe winner Jennifer Hawkins.[2]
The judges for the program were Martin Walsh, managing director of Chadwick Models, and Jackie Frank, editor of the fashion magazine Marie Claire.[3] Tyson Beckford, the co-host of the American edition, was a guest judge and mentor for the first few episodes[4] whilst Travis Fimmel turned down being a judge for the program.[5]
It was also announced that Tyson Beckford "finished up his MMAS duties after the second episode and may return sometime in the future."[6] He did not return afterward.
The winner of the competition, chosen by the viewers, would receive a fashion pictorial in Marie Claire magazine, a one-year contract with Chadwick Models, and a trip to New York City to meet with New York Model Management.
The winner of the first and only series was Rhys Uhlich, who beat out runner-up Shanina Shaik and second runner-up Courtney Chircop.
The series was not renewed for a second season.
Auditions for the program were held from 14 June to 6 July at:
The show went through an auditioning period where the top 40 contestants were chosen. From there the top 40 were sent to a two-day 'Supermodel Crash-Course,' where they were narrowed down to the top 14. From there the supermodel lifestyle began. The weekly agenda was as follows.
And the cycle went on until 3 models remained.
