OMG!!!!

My niece just won (Australian)Beauty and The Geek!!! \o/

We had no idea she was going to win. And this isn't something we would normally watch, but when family is involved... well!! Hee! so exciting. She won $50,000. Not bad for a 21 year old. :)

This is her and her geek...



Oh course, she totally takes after her aunty... ;)

Awesome. Pretty girl. I didn't know that show was still on.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - it's in Australia. We watched the final just now so we've been jumping all over the place..

Kinda weird really.. :)

[feather-touch.livejournal.com]

How cool! Congrats to them.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It's pretty darn cool. :D Thanks hun.

Awesome! Congrats to her! YAY! :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie. Her 15 minutes (well, maybe a couple of weeks) of local fame.. :)

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

She is so adorable - how awesome for her and how fun for the rest of you!!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's been a night of phone calls and squealing at the TV and bouncing around. A bit surreal actually..

You know what's kinda odd. One of my friends was actually one of the geeks, as well. He was Tim who got eliminated last week. I stopped watching then so I didn't see the finale but congratulations to your niece as well :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh hey! Is that right?... small world. Actually a couple of people I've chatted to over here have also said they know Tim. :) I suppose Perth is particularly small... :)

He did well. What a transformation he had in the make over! :)

Cool! Congrats to her!!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

HA! That's awesome! Congrats to Niece and her Geek!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun! :D

[ciaimpala.livejournal.com]

That's so awesome! I loved the American version when it was on :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It's pretty awesome! \o/

I've never seen an episode of the show here. I don't even know the premise of the show...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee, well, you're not missing much. It's a rather inane reality show. So not my thing, but as I said, when you actually know someone on there it makes a big difference. :)

[oanaspn.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[stir-of-echoes.livejournal.com]

Oh, well done.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun! :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It is! I'm sure she had a ball. :D

[callme-k.livejournal.com]

Although I hadn't kept up with the series, I came across the very end of the finale and saw she and her "geek" had won. Congrats to them!:)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I was sure she was going out third last so I was all set to stop watching - but then she just kept on going and going. She's known for quite a while and has had to keep it a massive secret.

Thanks hun. :)

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Hee!! Congrats to her!! :)))

...and of course she takes after her aunty. ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey!

(and..... I wish! *g*)

[devon99.livejournal.com]

Good for her!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - it was really nice for her. :D

[stormcloude]

Oh how awesome! I know you said they stayed friends too, didn't you? That's probably part of why they won. ;D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - they have remaind friends. The get on very well apparently. I think that indeed may have helped them get through. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

She's adorable! Hope she had fun with the whole experience!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

She's a cutie alright! And yeah - I imagine she had a ball!! especially at the moment - lots of TV appearances and interviews and stuff.

Thanks hun. <3

[nushanakt.livejournal.com]

awesome! the finale was the only episode i've ever seen, but congrats to your niece!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! I have to say it was such a nerve wracking finale. As it was getting closer I wondered if maybe she'd win. She wasn't allowed to tell us - so it was a huge surprise.
:)

[balistik94.livejournal.com]

Congrats! She kinda looks like a young Lucy Lawless with blond hair.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes - she's quite a buxom lass. :D

[barkley.livejournal.com]

That's awesome!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It is! She's said it's given her a lot of confidence - and lots of spending money. :D

[yourlibrarian]

What a surprise! I remember you mentioning her being on it some time back but who'd have guessed, huh?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Totally a surprise! I can't believe how well she did. She kept it a very good secret - we had no idea. :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Awesome! And she totally takes after you! :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! I wish!

<3

[sothcweden.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I'm not Australian, and kind of loathe reality TV, but I'm glad to hear she's got a financial cushion and that your family is excited.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun! I have to say, it really wasn't my thing - neither is reality TV. Though knowing someone made it bearable.:) And yeah, the money will be awesome. :)
