It's just under twenty-four hours until the beginning of the third cycle of 'NEW ZEALAND'S NEXT TOP MODEL' - a new television series that has been heavily anticipated by obsessed viewers, ever since they named Danielle Hayes the winner of cycle two. It's a new cycle, a new set of girls, a new story, a new set of photo-shoots and challenges... and I can't wait for them to be revealed! 'New Zealand's Next Top Model' returns every Friday, starting tomorrow at 7.30PM. We were lucky enough to slip into a few auditions... and I can't even begin to imagine what kind of job the judges had on their hands. We also got the chance to ask SARA TETRO and CHRIS SISARICH - 'NZNTM' resident judges - a few questions...
COUP DE MAIN: How will this season differ from the previous cycles? SARA TETRO: Different girls, different house, it’s a different year. The whole thing is different! CHRIS SISARICH: I think each cycle takes on its own life in a way, it takes on its own journey. Each personality kind of brings different things so we don’t even know... SARA TETRO: But exciting new lessons and challenges as well. New photoshoots, [it's the] third season, [it will be] bigger and better... lifting it up a notch. CHRIS SISARICH: We’ve got the experience behind us now, so we can add that to it and make it better and more exciting and get better all the time. SARA TETRO: It’s fun for us because the system is smooth. Going into the first season, we didn’t know what was going on, we didn’t know what to expect - and going into the second season, we had a pretty good idea and this has been great fun. CDM: What has it been like going around the country the past week for the auditions? SARA TETRO: Fascinating, for me, I’ve really enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I was sort of going into it thinking "oh away from my kids for another week and it’s going to be really full on..." - but it’s been fascinating, we’ve met some amazing girls. And you know a lot of the girls we’ve met that we didn’t put through were equally amazing and it’s a great opportunity for anyone to be able to go and talk to that many girls. CDM: What makes a model? What are you looking for in the girls? CHRIS SISARICH: You’re always trying to find something new and something different, something fresh. SARA TETRO: It’s nice to discover something - and often the girls that come in here and the features they don’t like about themselves are the features we find most enchanting - and to be able to help a girl get through that. Sometimes the girls that come in here are so nervous, they are beside themselves and you can take a little while to get talking to them and then all of a sudden, they just relax [and] their faces light up, they start talking to us and suddenly you realise there’s a person inside that shape or body. That’s really fun and it’s nice for us to help those girls. But as far as us actually looking for a model, that’s pretty well-known, over 170, 16-25 and in between that the variants are yay-long.
