Make Me a Supermodel is an Australian reality television series based on the 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.
