After weeks of delicious freakouts, tantrums and tears, we’re down to just two contestants left on Australia’s Next Top Model for Cycle 9. Brittany Beattie and Lucy Markovic will go head-to-head in order to take out the prestigious title, which has been won by the likes of Amanda Ware and Montana Cox in the past.
Both girls are incredibly different. Brittany is fierce, noted bogan who’s always memorable, while Lucy is girl-next-door material, well-spoken and personable. If they do have one thing in common, it’s that they can walk a runway and smash out a photo shoot given the opportunity.
With only one week to go until we find out who the winner will be, we’re looking back at the girls weekly photo shoots to see who should win Australia’s Next Top Model, and go on to represent Australia for brands and Fashion Weeks internationally.
Britt Vs Lucy Australia's Next Top Model
-
Week 1
Brittany started the competition with a bang. Even with half her face hidden by her hair, the judges were very impressed. We guess just one cheekbone is good enough.
-
Week 1
Lucy's first shot set the tone for how she would be perceived throughout the season: the sweet girl. With a photo as sweet as that, we don't see what the problem is.
-
Week 2
Kelly Osbourne loved Brittany's second shot, saying there was a "beautiful androgyny" about it.
-
Week 2
Lucy was at the top of the leaderboard for Week 2, perfectly embodying the "sweet girl" she was meant to be for this shoot. It doesn't get much sweeter than a jam tart replacing your right eye!
-
Week 3
Week 3 gave us a sexier side of Brittany, who topped the leaderboard, alongside Lauren Ericson, and was chosen by Jean Paul Gaultier to walk his runway in Paris!
-
Week 3
Lucy was also able to show her versatility this week, trading in the smile for a high-fashion resting bitch face.
-
Week 4
"I look like a real girl, like a woman!" Brittany said in shock after seeing this photo. The judges were impressed too, with Alex Perry scoring her a 10 out of 10.
-
Week 4
Lucy's body was a standout for the swimsuit photo shoot, showing off her legs for days in an elongated pose. Guest judge Elyse Taylor thought she could've made the shot "so much stronger", though.
-
Week 5
"You shine beautifully," Linda Evangelista told Brittany when judging this shot, giving her a perfect 10 out of 10.
-
Week 5
The only survivor to come out of this photo and go onto the next week, Lucy's beautiful naivety in this photo was really something else. Linda gave Lucy an impressive 9.5, only half a mark short of Brittany's score.
-
Week 6
Week 6 was a bad week for just about everyone in the competition, and the judges weren't overly impressed with Brittany's shot."If you lost the helmet and the jacket, it's just a catalogue picture," Alex said. "I don't think it's good enough."

Week 6
This wasn't Lucy's best week, with Alex saying she'd nail "Australia's Next Top Catalogue Model". She almost went home after surviving a tie break against Izi Simundic.

Week 7
"I love the picture. I think you'd see it on the pages of a magazine and an editorial," Alyssa Sutherland said, giving Brittany a 10 out of 10.
-
Week 7
Lucy bounced back with a fire in her belly after almost going home the week before to deliver this phenomenal shot. Alyssa and Alex both gave Lucy a 10 out of 10, while Jennifer Hawkins gave her a 9.5, giving her the highest score seen on the leaderboard throughout the entire competition so far.
-
Week 8
Brittany absolutely nailed her Colgate photo shoot. It was by far the sexiest shot we've seen all season, and the most believable.
-
Week 8
It was also a great week for Lucy, who won Colgate's campaign challenge with her impeccable smile.
-
Week 9
Although it took Brittany a while to get into the swing of things after feeling all tied up for her New York photo shoot, she got there in the end.

Week 9
Lucy also struggled in New York, trying to get a facial that was both pretty and strong. She also came through, securing a place in the final alongside Brittany.
