According to the AFP，on September 29, the showpiece finale of a popular Australian reality modelling show ended in a toe-curling blunder when the wrong winner was announced on live television。

　　Australia's Next Top Model's two finalists had already made their winner's and loser's speeches when presenter Sarah Murdoch, daughter-in-law of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, revealed the mix-up。

　　"Oh my God, I don't know what to say right now. I'm feeling a bit sick about this," Murdoch said during Tuesday's broadcast. "This is what happens on live TV, folks. This is insane, insane, insane."

　　A bewildered Amanda Ware, 18, finally accepted the award and made a brief victory sashay down the catwalk, as 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich took the bizarre defeat gracefully. "It's an honest mistake, it's fine," she said, consoling the red-faced Murdoch。

　　Broadcaster Foxtel blamed the error on a "miscommunication" between backstage operators, and offered Martinovich a cash gift and a trip to New York as compensation。

　　Local media rated the error as one of the most embarrassing moments on Australian TV。

　　据法新社9月29日报道，澳大利亚一个很受欢迎的模特选秀节目在决赛的现场直播过程中出现了一个尴尬的错误：冠军人选被弄错了。

　　全澳超模新秀大赛两名决赛候选人已经分别发表了获胜和落败的讲话，但就在这个时候，主持人萨拉•默多克(传播大亨鲁伯特•默多克的儿媳妇)宣布结果弄错了。

　　默多克在星期四的电视直播中表态说：“天哪，我现在不知道该说些什么好，我感觉浑身不舒服，这可是现场直播呀，真是要疯了，疯了，疯了！”

　　18岁的阿曼达•韦尔得知自己才是冠军后喜出望外地以胜利者的姿态向前走了一段猫步，19岁的凯尔茜•马丁诺维奇也输的很有风度，她面对面红耳赤的莎拉说：“这是无心之失，没有关系。”

　　福斯电视台播音员解释说，这是因为后台操作时“沟通失误”造成的，并向马丁诺维奇提供现金和纽约之旅作为补偿。

　　地方媒体说，这是澳大利亚电视史上最尴尬的之一。
