Yo yo top model fans. I hope you have already seen this weeks show because if not, I am about to ruin it for you!! You'd better go watch it on demand now!

It was a great show this week. I think I speak for most of us when I say I've been really looking forward to seeing all the models after their make overs. I did think there would of been a few more drastic changes though.  Which reminds me, I just had a make over last week and have a brand new haircut. I had some warmth put into my hair, hard core layering and I now have a fringe! I've never had a fringe before and it took about five days to get used to having hair on my face! Check out the photo but I'm not sure if you will still recognise me.

I've got to be honest with you. I was feeling horrible and run down last night. After the show I tried writing my blog but could barely keep my eyes open - even with match sticks...haha. I fell asleep after writing two sentences with my laptop open. I woke up at 6am to write before I go to fashion week casting and then to work so I hope you can call this commitment!

I've decided this week, as well as my modeling and day job, (which I must have as if you want to model full time in New Zealand you'll have to live at home with Mummy and Daddy) that I'm going to have my own cook book by the time I'm thirty.

Rushing home from work I went through KFC drive through and then ate my dinner in three minutes flat.  (So good but so disgusting!!) I also quickly grabbed some wine at the super market for tonight’s NZNTM!! I'm now currently blowing up balloons for my flat mate and my birthday party tomorrow night as I have work tomorrow and am then going to model in pink for a NZ Breast cancer charity night.

Some interesting news I found out earlier this week is that Holly Potton is my next door neighbor! I often chat to her parents and take over some home-baked goodies every now and then. I’ve met Holly once before at a fashion show, so next time I see her we'll now have a lot more to talk about!

Friday has come around so quickly for me. I rushed home from work to curl up on the couch with a glass of wine... or two. I cannot deny that I've been looking forward to this moment all week and should consider myself lucky to have all my flat mates home in the living room watching the show with me. Having said that, they were intrigued by so many beautiful girls that all they wanted to do was check them out and talk about them as though they were flicking through a fashion mag and picking out their favourite model.

Wow all the girls are smoking hot!!

Trying to stand tall amongst the other girls in front of the judges, heart pounding, neck tightening. I really can’t wait for the next series of New Zealand’s  Next  Top model!!!

Hi I am Victoria Williams.

Having been a competitor on NZNTM myself,  I am really looking forward to seeing the challenges and experiences the girls will have ahead of them, not to mention the amazing friends they will make along the way.

Unfortunately I didn’t win NZNTM but I had a fantastic time trying to do so, going to Queenstown, Sydney, LA and making it close for 5th place.

A little about me; I’ve always been a bit of country girl. I moved with my family from the UK to Blenheim when I was eight-years-old.

As a TV buff, and budding collector/historian, I watched with interest this past Sunday's replay of From The Archives but it was what preceeded it that interested me and made me email TVNZ this evening.

Before the replay they showed a compilation filler of various moments from Telethon '79, raising money for the International Year Of The Child, and it got me thinking as to whether TVNZ could pull the entire 24 hour event from the archive and air it on Xmas Day/Boxing Day, as part of a From The Archives Xmas Special.

Now TVNZ will no doubt pour cold water on this when they read my email but Xmas Day on TV blows and many complain about it in either TV Guide or online.

If something like this was advertised on both Heartland and on TV One/2 then I strongly believe the viewing numbers for TVNZ Heartland would increase significantly because of Telethon.

The season finale of Outrageous Fortune left viewers reeling at the end of 2009.  The build up had been somewhat slow but when the bottle sunk in and the casings left the chamber, everyone knew they'd just witnessed one of New Zealand's best cliff hangers.

It was always going to be a difficult task to maintain that momentum.  Who was alive?  Who was dead?  It didn't take long to realise that Cheryl was ok.  But what of Pascall?  Lying in that hospital with Aaron trying to perve down her top, her still body hinted that she'd gone.  But she hadn't.  And as Van pointed out, in a news bite that made the news, Gerard had only shot her in the tit.

Id love to win the Magic TV pvr and installation not for myself but for my mother. She is still combatting crappy old analogue reception with an equally old rabbit ear aerial. Even when you get a half good picture on one channel you have to move the aerial every time you change the channel. Even then, there's more snow in the picture than Mt Cook in a blizzard. Please give me your vote.
