Judges of the Australian version of the most popular reality modeling competition were very discouraged with Australia’s Next Top Model runner-up Cassi Van Den Dungen's decision to choose her soon-to-marry boyfriend over a promising career in modeling.
The Kate Moss-look-alike was offered representation by Priscilla Leighton Clark in Australia and by Elite New York in America, but turned both contracts down.
"Elite in New York are desperate to sign her. The phrase used was, 'They are completely obsessed.' Contracts are with both parties," says Priscilla to the Herald Sun.
The 17-year old Cassi Van Den Dungen was just so inlove that she refused offers of international career to return back to her Sunbury hometown and marry her 25-year old bricklayer boyfriend Brad Saul.
It was this decision that made Australia's Next Top Model judge Charlotte Dawson not to cast the vote for her:
"After seeing him in the audience at the finale, I thought, 'That guy's going to ruin her life.' We gave her so much love and support, maybe even more than the other girls, but at the back of my mind I knew she would do this and that's why I couldn't vote for her."
Cassi Van Den Dungen lost the title to 17-year old Tahnee Atkinson, a proud size-10 model.
