Make Me a Supermodel (Australian TV series)


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 and was hosted by the former Miss Universe winner Jennifer Hawkins.
The judges for the program were Martin Walsh, managing director of Chadwick Models, and Jackie Frank, editor of the fashion magazine Marie Claire. Tyson Beckford, the co-host of the American edition, was a guest judge and mentor for the first few episodes whilst Travis Fimmel turned down being a judge for the program.
