) The winner (Nicole) ends up going to Ford's Search for a Supermodel comp, and I think Nicole took out 3rd place or something. Gemma Ward appeared in the first episode when they were doing the rounds - going to each state and having a huge casting call. She was there supporting her friends but someone working with the show urged her to try out as well - she did and got into the second heats I believe but didn't progress any further in the comp, however she was immediately signed up with the agency who was associated with the show (Viviens).
