Austria's Next Topmodel was an Austrian competition reality television series based on Tyra Banks's America's Next Top Model .

Contents

History

The show was hosted by Lena Gercke, the winner of the first cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel . Gercke is the first Top Model winner to become the host of a Top Model series.[ citation needed ] The judging panel for the show's first cycle consisted of the head of Vienna-based modeling agency Wiener Models, Andrea Weidler, and runway coach Alamanda Belfor. It aired from January to February 2009 and was won by Larissa Marolt. As part of her prize package for winning the contest, Marolt won a place on the fourth cycle of Germany's Next Top model , where she placed eighth.

In mid-2009, Puls 4 aired a spin-off of the show Die Model WG, which featured six of cycle one's contestants. The show was won by Kordula Stöckl.[ citation needed ]

The second cycle aired from November 2009 to February 2010. Its catchphrase was "More girls, more jet set, more glamour." Former model and photographer Andreas Ortner joined the judging panel, replacing Alamanda Belfor. Beauty expert Sabine Landl, the models' stylist in cycle 1, also joined the panel. The winner of the cycle was Aylin Kösetürk.

The third cycle premiered in January 2011 and introduced new judges: the designer Atıl Kutoğlu and the runway coach Elvyra Geyer. Gercke remained the host. [4] The cycle featured a significant change in the cast, with one girl per federal state and five wildcards. Additionally, in every episode, competitors that won the casting traveled to an international destination.

Gercke did not return to host the fifth cycle, opting instead to concentrate on her own modeling career. [5] In January 2013 Austrian model Melanie Scheriau took over as host. [6] The sixth cycle aired in late 2014. [7] Cycle 7 aired from late 2015 to spring 2016, cycle 8 began in November 2017, and cycle 9 ran in 2019.

Males were introduced to the competition in the sixth cycle of the show. The social media scoring system used in the American version of the show was also implemented in the sixth cycle. In contrast to the American version of the show, each voter was required to cast their votes via Facebook. Furthermore, there was no grading scale. Each Facebook account was allotted three votes, which could be spent on any combination of contestants. The competitor with the highest number of votes in each round was granted immunity. At the same time, the contestant with the lowest amount was automatically nominated for elimination, along with three other contestants chosen by the judges.

The ProSiebenSat.1 Media group announced in April 2017 that the eighth cycle would air on ATV Austria, thus temporarily moving the show from Puls 4. [8] Cycle 9 was again broadcast by Puls 4.

Controversies

Show title

Before the show began, it caused controversy due to another modeling contest named Österreichs (German for "Austria's") Next Top model, established in 2007. Dominik Wachta, the founder of what can be described as a mix between model casting and a beauty pageant, accused the TV channel Puls 4 of stealing his idea. Further steps to change the name of the show were unsuccessful as it was already licensed by CBS as the role-model version created by Tyra Banks. [9]

Racism controversy

In the third cycle, contestant Magalie Berkhahn was eliminated from the show due to the racist comments she made during a phone conversation with her boyfriend. She referred to fellow competitor Lydia Nnenna Obute as "Neger Oide" (derogatory Austrian slang for "black woman") and to Vanessa Lotz as "Dietsche" (slang for "German woman"). Both Obute and Lotz won a "go-see" in that episode. The conversation was fully taped and aired during the show. Lena Gercke, the host, presented video evidence to Berkhahn in the presence of the other two girls, initiating a confrontation. Gercke then told Berkhahn that she was expelled from the show because the competition had no room for racist ideas or thoughts. Puls 4 was later accused of using the controversy for promotional purposes, as Berkhahn's comments had already been shown in the preview for the episode and were not censored when the episode aired. [10] Berkhahn was not invited to the final runway show during the cycle's finale. Berkhahn later stated that the scandal had ruined her life. [11]

Death of Sabrina Rauch

In January 2012, 21-year-old Sabrina Angelika Rauch (a cycle 4 contestant) died in a car crash after spinning out of control on her way home from a party. Her vehicle collided with a concrete mast, when Rauch was killed instantly at the scene of the accident. [12] Her co-driver, a 26-year-old male friend, survived the accident. [13] Only three days before the episode featuring Rauch's elimination was aired, a nude photo from a shoot she did before her participation on the show was exposed. She was confronted by the judges for having taken the photos, and the judges stated that it was 'too low for a top model' while the other contestants witnessed the scene. In addition, a friend of Rauch criticized the program for editing that specific scene. [14] At the beginning of the next episode of the show, the broadcast station expressed their condolences to Rauch's relatives and friends on a silent screen.
