Imagine your reaction when you finally matched the last digit of your lotto to the winning combination? You had an adrenaline rush that you might have taken your heart out as you proceeded to the claim station.. only to find out that the date of your ticket was compared to the draw results of another day. You might just want to orb to another place, right?
This is true but not with Ms. Kelsey Martinovich when she gracefully accepted the mistake of the host Sarah Murdoch upon announcing the former as the winner of Australia’s Next Top Model. Murdoch was fed with wrong information and she apologized for having to proclaim the wrong frontrunner.
It was Amanda Ware who indeed ended leading the votes. In her astonishment, Amanda was left nothing to say but, “Really, thanks guys!” in her speech.
What is the cost of the error? Producers shall send both Amanda and Kelsey to New York to meet with renowned modeling agency and gave Kelsey $25,000 as consolation prize. This was apart from the prize at stake for winning the Australia’s Next Top Model.
Yes, I saw that on TV. The girl was modest in accepting her demotion to second place after she was announced as the winner. She was given the financial equivalent of the prize as a consolation to her. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
Yeah, I heard the news. I believe Kesley graced the mistake with a sportsman spirit.
nyek. grabe naman, paano nangyari ang ganun???
tsaka niko, pwde ka pa sumali sa contest ni red, until oct 10 un
ahaha
i would have felt really really bad kung ako yung nanalo na, nawala pa. Im just thinking, pwede kaya idemanda yan- parang playing with emotions yun ha. They should have at least compensated her na lang (pampalubag loob)
