During the show's live finale, host Sarah Murdoch proclaimed 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich as the winner instead of 17-year-old Amanda Ware! Murdoch did not realize her mistake until well after Martinovich had given an ecstatic victory speech. This meant that she would not be receiving the show's prize package, which included: 12-month representation at Pricilla's Model Management, an eight-page spread in Australia's Harper's Bazaar, a contract to be the face of Levi's Jeans, a trip to New York to meet with top modeling agents, and a Ford Fiesta!
Murdoch was genuinely horrified at the mistake and blamed it on the format of the live finale and misinformation received through her earpiece. Despite her utter disappointment, Martinovich was very courteous and congratulated the true victor before letting Ware enjoy her moment
