So who else is going to be watching tonight? Is it just me, or is the NZ accent getting even more painful to listen too? I have a feeling I'll be watching half of it cringing.

I'll be watching just to see what it's like. I'm guessing it will be highly embarrassing like most NZ copies of american shows. Hopefully I'm wrong.

ME! I am really looking forward to it but I'm afraid its now way going to live up to Americas Next Top Model. I agree the NZ accent on the adds sounds shocking!
I am a little gutted as once again all my friends have got together for a next top model watching party and didnt bother inviting me  So I will be sitting watching it all on my lonesome.

Me! Although I'm thinking it will be way more cringe-worthy than ANTM....but looking at some of the ads, it looks like they might take the the piss out of some of the girls

I just think it's going to be a train wreck that will have me cringing. 12 adolescent girls with heinous accents and issues.
Oh, like I'm so superior!
I wish Project Runway was on earlier.

YEP!! I'm watching it. Even if the accents annoy me, along with the bitchiness that comes with it, it'll be interesting! I've been waiting ages for this to be aired!

I'm going to have a look - maybe fleeting though  The American one bugs me and I'm imagining it won't be a lot better.

I am so hooked on ANTM, so am going to watch this one too...but yup suspect its going to be a train wreck. Given I dont even recognise any of the judges (but thats maybe just cos I aint cool enough!!)

accents don't bother me, but i feel too mean judging these girls like I do with ANTM! guess cause I know some of my students from past schools have auditioned, so i feel a bit protective. Bugger, cause the mean cattiness is the best part!
also, "YOU"RE GOING TO NEW YORK"
vs
"YOU'RE GOING TO>>>queensland"...yeah, not so much
and don't get me started on "heels by hannahs"

There are some pretty girls in that lot.. some I would even say are prettier than ones I have seen on ANTM.. although Tyra doesn't always go for "pretty" does she?
Wtf is up with the chick with the blonde afro though?! Sorry, but all I could think of was some sort of albino hills-have-eyes kind of character.. was she taking the piss with that hair? haha

okay, am over not mocking them,
if i hear that red-haired girl going on about "how experienced i am" - bet she's been in like the warehouse catalogue or something, and done a runway for her mum's friend.
and here come the tears.
Oh- not mocking is well and truly over.

OMG I can't stand our accent but I'm so glad I'm not alone!
I tuned in expecting ANTM final but missed it last week? Can anyone tell me who won?

Hey Ellen - Whitney won last week on ANTM.
God NZNTM is bad, bad, bad - but if for no other reason than to annoy hubby I'll watch it (pay back for the cricket) hehehe.

DH watched it with me - but now has decided he's NEVER watching it again cos the girl with BIG tits didn't get through! Haha.  But the chick that got picked last into the top 13 I CAN'T STAND. She's going to annoy me a whole lot and hope she doesn't last much longer. I think the accents are made worse by the fact they are all very young and don't talk very well IMO.
