Make me a Supercheap Model

Seven reportedly wants a cheaper SuperModel series next year. But after 2008, why even bother?

2009 doesn’t sound like it’s starting out so well for Jennifer Hawkins. Following news that The Great Outdoors is in TV limbo, now Make Me A Supermodel is yet to be renewed.

Officially Seven yesterday said the program had been pencilled in for the second half of the year – describing it as “part of our future planning.” But The Daily Telegraph says Seven executives are demanding a ‘cheaper version.’

Frankly after the poor production that we saw in 2008 it’s a wonder they are bothering at all.

Too often last year the show made headlines for it’s tacky stunts, which usually involved getting its young cast into repeated states of undress. It justified these shrift demands by simply saying “it’s part of the biz and they can say no anytime.” It’s one thing to set up challenges for reality contestants, but it’s another thing to do it without any class whatsoever. Especially when there are minors involved.

No doubt Hawkins felt the heat of the show’s critical attacks.

The jury is also out on whether the show’s winner, Rhys Uhlich, can attain “super” model status.

Seven is said to be hoping to find a vehicle for Hawkins, whose contract expires at the end of 2009.

“Yes there are programs in development here with Jen, it’s too early to discuss them at this stage,” a Seven spokesperson said.

  1. please bring it back it wasnt just a reality show it gave lots of the contested a caree path. of course the show isnt going to be perfect on its first season give it a chance.
    to become a model would be a dream come true for me. so if there is another season i will be first at those auditions

  2. as ou said david. why bother. it looked and it was. no one watched and that should have spelled the end of it. reality isnt working any more and tv networks should realise this
