edit Sorry for double post, don't know what happened.
Bummer she didn't go to the awards.
So is she still in Germany, prepping for her TV show?
Happy to see a new format on TV, my 20t to 30-ish year old friends really grew out of Heidi Klum's show, it got old quick after Barbara Meier announced she'd go back to study. Unfortunately, this did the trick somehow. The winners usually make a couple of headlines and that's it. Lena Gercke (the winner of the first season which ran for 12 weeks in 2006 IIRC) is still the household name for the series. Don't really know what is going on behind the scenes or what the "GNTM" winner had planned for their careers initially, but it's just that this new show could get somewhere. After all, the big goal here has been explained upfront. With GNTM, the goal was rather "publicity" and "drama".
