Miss Popularity - Series Excerpts

Television (Excerpts) – 2005

In these excerpts pulled from ten consecutive episodes of Miss Popularity, Outback Jack star Vadim Dale despatches ten long-haired, image-conscious young Kiwis to the Aussie outback town of Burra. There they compete to become "the ultimate Kiwi chick" by doing odd jobs, outdoor challenges, snake encounters, and bake-offs for the local market day. Contestants included film students, a firefighter, a future Playboy model, and flight attendant Jessie Gurunathan. Locals voted one contestant off each week. Gurunathan finally claimed the $100,000 prize on the hit Touchdown show.

My reason for being here is to challenge myself and to strive to achieve my personal best. I've done things I've never dreamed of doing, ever in my whole life, and that's what it's all about for me.
– Miss Popularity Jessie Gurunathan
