Sarah Murdoch’s jaw-dropping moment on Australia’s Next Top Model

Imagine already thinking of the upcoming contract you just won. You are already probably mentally calling your lawyer to have the documents prepare—but then that moment is taken away from you. Well, Steve Harvey is not the only one who made mistakes in announcing the winner in a pageant or a contest. Many before him have done so, and many others will follow.

Sarah Murdoch made that blunder when she said that Kelsey Martinovich won the 2010 Australia’s Next Top Model. Of course, she was already celebrating. The young beauty won a car, a $25,000 ad campaign, a modeling contract in New York, and $20,000 cash. Sad to say, Murdoch realized she made a mistake and had to rescind the announcement. She had to interrupt the speeches and informed everyone that it was Amanda War who actually deserved the prize. It was a very tense moment, but everyone makes mistakes.
