One of the most dramatic stuff-ups in the history of Australian live television.
Just before 9.30 tonight, Sarah Murdoch announced the winner of "Australia's Next Top Model".
Unfortunately, she read out the wrong name.
While Kelsey Martinovich was celebrating winning a car, a New York modelling contract, a $25,000 ad campaign, $20,000 cash and the cover of a national magazine, Sarah Murdoch's drop jopped, she brought her hand to her mouth, started tearing-up and was left speechless. The coin-drop moment for Sarah Murdoch is at the 2'32" mark.
Of course there's a happy ending for one southeast Queensland woman, Amanda Ware, who was then awarded (all together now) a car, a New York modelling contract, a $25,000 ad campaign, $20,000 cash and the cover of a national magazine!
But someone would have had their backside kicked after this. Watch carefully and you'll see the magazine cover change (projected onto the set) before Sarah Murdoch reveals the mistake.
What with the federal election and the AFL Grand Final, Australia just can't get clear results in anything this year!!
Foxtel announced late tonight that runner-up Kesley will now receive $25,000 and a trip to New York.

The Westchester Neighbors Association defines its boundaries as "the area within the City of Los Angeles: east of Sepulveda Boulevard, north of Manchester Avenue and west of the I/S 405 Freeway (San Diego Fwy)."
That McDonalds is both south of Manchester and on the west side of Sepulveda.
This all said, I have known a couple people who kinda lived behind those shopping centers on the east side of Sepulveda and south of Manchester and they all would say they lived in Westchester and consider everything on Sepulveda on both sides of the road a part of Westchester. Unless I didn't look the info up, I would've considered the McDonalds a part of Westchester myself. Seems like most people consider anything on Sepulveda (no matter which side fo the road) north of LAX up until the Fox Hills Mall area (which is kinda where the 405 slices though) a part of Westchester.
