To announce this year’s winner – Sarah Murdoch.
10 months since first round of auditions.
Montana montage of her journey. She was quiet to start with. Questioned why she was there. Alex noticed her being natural. Charlotte praises her body in swimwear. Something Cindy Crawford about her, says Alex. Rock bottom in 1920′s Gatzby shoot. Paint box shoot was when Montana arrived according to Alex. One of the best discoveries ever according to Charlotte. Right calibre for international magazine.
Liz montage. Been incredible watching you gorw. Went with flow, nervous, pushed away nerves. Low confidence in top 100. Never had faith in herself. Liz thought she was not beautiful compared to others. Liz is a stunning beauty according to Charlotte. Worst shoot was the Sunday magazine one. She wasn’t confidence. Favourtie shot of Liz was lingerie said Charlotte, but Liz hated it. Confidence grew as weeks went on. Liz’s favourite part was Dubai. She did her best.
Sraha – best season of ANTM, and best girls ever.
There can only be one winner.
Montana – industry welcomed you with open arms. Liz – also been afforded by industry. Australian public have fallen in love with you.
Aus public have voted.
Winner is,,, Montana
Liz second.
