Foxtel Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh explained: "The whole team on the show has been deeply affected by the loss of Charlotte earlier this year.

"[10] The guest judges for this year included Alessandra Ambrosio, Alexandra Agoston, Alyssa Sutherland, Coco Rocha, Elyse Taylor, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kelly Osbourne, Kim Kardashian, Linda Evangelista, Megan Gale, and Tyra Banks.

[11][12][13][14] (Ages stated are at start of contest) The twelve selected finalists met for the first time, and learned that their tasks throughout the competition would be scored in order to determine who would be eliminated each week.

The models were flown to Melbourne for a red carpet event and challenge celebrating the opening night of Jean Paul Gaultier's exhibition, where they faced an interview with members of the press regarding their personal style.

Following the elimination ceremony, guest judge Jean Paul Gaultier surprised the group by inviting one of the models to walk in one of his upcoming shows during Paris Fashion week.

The contestants were later driven to Valvoline Raceway to shoot an eight-page editorial that would be published in the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine, and Alexandra Agoston was introduced as the guest judge for the week.

Alyssa Sutherland later posed with the models in a Fight Club inspired photo shoot session, before sitting at panel as the week's guest judge.

The contestants took part in a two-part challenge for Colgate Optic White, consisting of a screen test and a conveyor belt runway show.

The winner of the challenge was chosen to participate in a photo shoot for Swarovski's Multifacets magazine, and received $2,000 worth of jewelry from the brand.

The formerly eliminated contestants returned for a runway show at Carriageworks, where Top Model creator Tyra Banks made an appearance as the cycles' final guest judge.

After the runway show, the judges deliberated over the finalists' covers, and Brittany was crowned as the ninth winner of Australia's Next Top Model.
