Australia's Next Top Model
Tahnee was often considered one of the front runners in the competition, garnering 3 first call-outs and winning 3 challenges. During the competition, Tahnee's weight was criticised by other contestants, judges, and fashion industry professionals. In one of the challenges, Tahnee won the lead in a Telstra advertising campaign. In another challenge, she won a $10,000 shopping spree at the Corner Shop, opting to give $1,000 to another contestant Adele Thiel. On 7 July 2009 Tahnee was announced the winner of cycle 5 of Australia's Next Top Model and was awarded $20,000 cash, and contracts from Priscilla's model management, Maybelline and Harper's Bazaar magazine.[citation needed]
