Cassi and Tahnee make the grand final of Australia's Next Top Model

Last night’s episode of AUSTRALIA’S NEXT TOP MODEL unveiled the two finalists who will now battle it out for the title of ‘Top Model’… 17 year old CASSI VAN DUNGEN and TAHNEE ATKINSON.

This fifth series of FOX8’s AUSTRALIA’S NEXT TOP MODEL hosted by SARAH MURDOCH is the highest rating series so far. The show has followed 13 young women who were plucked from around Australia and placed together under one roof. Cassi, Tahnee and the other Top Model contestants have had to deal with tough challenges ranging from photo shoots in remote locations and weather conditions, castings for Fashion Week, facing the press at a mock media conference to meeting UK’s leading modelling agencies as well as supermodel Elle Macpherson.

“Each of the girls have tried to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of modelling in what has been a very challenging competition. Our final two, Cassi and Tahnee are very different girls and have worked very hard to get to the top two positions. In my opinion, both girls are well on their way to be working models and to hit the international modelling scene”, host Sarah Murdoch says.

The series culminates in a LIVE final in front of an audience of almost 2,000 at Luna Park’s Big Top, and broadcast across Australia exclusively on FOX8 next Tuesday July 7 at 7.30pm.
