I'm not a fan of the Jennifer Hawkins choice either. Still, I haven't liked many of the AusNTM hosts so I guess it's not much of a change for me. They've mostly just been a bit too...safe. Or something.

i cringed so much when they chose hawkins. probably enough to make me no longer tune in. i just cannot stand her. she has changed her natural appearance so much, she is not actually a model but a media personality/spokesperson, she has not worked her way up in the industry, and she has a terrible reputation behind the scenes of the industry and in A/B-List social circles.
what kind of example she is supposed to be setting is beyond me!
Exactly. She is only where she is because she won Miss Universe and of course the Australian public loves that because it's a huge thing in America. Her recent Myer ads with Jessica Hart also prove she is a terrible model. At least Sarah Murdoch had some proper model credentials and experience in international modeling...but who know's maybe we will all get to like her on the show. The host can grow on you sometimes...

I'm still a little worried that Jennifer's going to favor more commercial-looking girls, but I'm pretty stoked that IMG has team up with AusNTM. That could open a lot of doors.
