It doesn't happen very often in reality TV, let alone on AusNTM, where an archetype is immediately overshadowed by their successor but that is pretty much the case with Jessica and Paloma. Jessica was the first girl in AusNTM to wear the mantle of "geeky annoying girl everyone fights with" but was also the girl who went on the biggest journey in Cycle 2, leading her to stand second only to that season's golden child, Eboni.

Really, when you think about it, Jessica coming in runner-up to Eboni means that she, more than any other girl in that cycle, certainly would have a reason to be upset at the way the whole situation played out. Had Eboni not been given what many could argue was preferential treatment, perhaps Jessica would have been the girl who won that Cycle and forever changed the face of Australian modelling on the international scene?




Jessica's bisexuality, although never openly addressed on the show, did lead to one of my favorite moments in the history of the show and definitely my favorite Jessica moment when she chose Madeleine to join her on a night out as the winner of the reward challenge in episode two and this happened:



If only the Jessica remained this fun and bubbly instead of becoming the rather dour, miserable sad sack that she would in subsequent episodes. She became a real stick in the mud which made it difficult to enjoy seeing her success propel her into the runner-up position.

Given that, also, Paloma's fight's were more epic, her photos were more banging, and her quotes were more quotable, that's pretty much all the factors that combine to see Jessica go out as the first of the top 20 girls.



BUT, this wouldn't be a trojan write-up if I didn't dig up a little dirt to throw on a girl if I could now, would it? To say that Jessica's reputation as a bit of a whinger and a tantrum thrower lived on post-show would be a bit of an understatement. In fact, in 2009 she got herself into a bit of hot water during some Mardi-Gras shenanigans and ended up having the following article published:

Tsk, tsk, Ms French. One should really learn to keep that horrid tempter in check.

This is a really tragic cut. Instead of getting someone good with a rando, we get two pretty objectively great girls - both who happen to have had very successful careers post-show. What this came down to was the simple fact that Amanda - though I could give two shits about her to be honest - has had a better post-show career and her time on the show was pretty much tale of the obvious winner.

Early in cycle 4, Samantha flew pretty under the radar, not making it into the top of the group or the bottom until like episode 4 - that one we've given video footage of a number of times, where Demelza, Alyce and Rebecca bully the undeserving (but also unlikable) Alamela. That's the episode Samantha shot her amazing photo from up there ^^^^^ so of course she got the first call out for it. Nobody even looks good in yellow, how did she manage it?

A short while later, her story on the show becomes how she's the whinger of the group and people think she needs to stop crying so much (this is hilarious given CARIS, QUEEN OF CRYING was on this season )

Another reason I am cutting Samantha is that she was actually pretty boring, and season 4 was the season of Alexandra HBIC and the Dapto Dogs/Bitchketeers and Alamela. Like they WERE the season, and Samantha just kind of went along for the ride - I'm sure it's just the edit, but that's all I can judge and she was pretty much background-girl a lot of the time. She got a second first call out and a challenge win along the way but yeah. She probably got rigged out of F2 so the showdown would be Alex/Demelza tbh lol but oh well.

Her F3 shot was pretty jank anyway:



Post show, Samantha has been a surprisingly editorial model? She looks very commercial - and don't get me wrong she has had a lot of commercial work, but she has an impressive amount of editorial published shoots to her name. Like with most of these girls though, my favourites come from test shoots predominantly.

Now we need TWO NEW NOMINEES from one poster so Trojan can..... maybe make his next cut -.-.

Oh and I put the "Numbers Chosen" information in numerical order so it will be easy to see what numbers you can choose from.

For reference you've got:

10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 20, 28
