How to improve "Australia's Next Top Model"

Replace host Jodhi Meares with judging panel member Charlotte Dawson. JM may be as nice as peach pie in reality, but her personality just doesn't come across and her delivery verges on the ro-bot-ic. Conversely, CD has proven with her memorable rants on the show and starring role on "Runway To LA" that she can pull off the difficult combo of stern and caring necessary for mentoring young charges.

Ditch "style director" Jonathan Pease in favour of occasional celeb guest Ian Thorpe. There's something about JP I don't like. He talks about needing to be tough on the contestants to prepare them for the big, bad modelling biz, but from my side of the television screen it borders on unnecessary meanness. Leaving aside the question of negative editing, IT seems to have an instant rapport with the gals and I reckon he could do the same job without making so many of them cry.

And finally...avoid male fashion designers/photographers/stylists who are clearly misogynists.
