She caught up with WHO to chat about why the judges ought to be more aware of what goes on in the house.

How are you feeling?
Pretty good, not too bad.

Fantastic. How did you find going to London?
I have never been on a plane for more than like an hour I couldn't wait, it was absolutely amazing.

What was it like meeting Elle Macpherson?
All of the sudden we turned around and Elle was standing there and we're all just like squealing, we couldn't believe it, it was so unexpected and yeah it was great. She is such a lovely person.

What does she look like in person?
She looked absolutely beautiful. She is so tall and tanned and like her face was perfect. I couldn't believe it like, she looks amazing.

Does she look her age?
No, she doesn't look her age at all. She is absolutely glowing. I couldn't believe it, I was shocked. The other girls as well, Cassi especially because she really admires her so, it was amazing.

Are you going to miss being on the show?
I already am missing being on the show, like when I came back it was like so boring, I have absolutely nothing to do at home. And like I'd wake up with nothing to do and I'm like, well where's my surprise? Come pick me up and take my to do something fun. Where's my SarahMail?

Who do you think is going to win?
I've always said Clare from day one. I've always said that Clare would win.

That's great. And who do you think will be the next to go?
I think Cassi. I just thought that if somebody doesn't want to be there that badly like, I thought that the judges would kick her off. They don't know anything that happens inside the house. They learn stuff from the photoshoots. But either way, there is stuff in the house that the judges should really know about. Especially just sort of the behavior that Cassi did have at certain times.

What sort of stuff specifically?
Um, just like the whole shower incident. You know, even I was scared for Clare. I know Cassi is all talk, but it was definitely a really scary situation for her and it really upset her. Especially the fact that she [Cassi] didn't want to be there and she kept on telling us that - she even told the judges that! She does have so much potential but you know, you can have all the potential in the world but that doesn't mean that you can do it.

Do you think Jonathan definitely has her back?
Yeah, I think all the judges and Jonathan definitely have her back. Like obviously we can all see the potential and we can all see how amazing she is in front of the camera, like we know that but I guess they don't really know all the other things that go on.

Who's advice did you take the most when you were on the show?
Alex Perry. He really told me how to improve as well. Overall he really made me feel good about myself. I think he really did believe in me, and really helped.

What about the other girls? Was there one that you listen to more than the others?
Definitely Laura M. We just talked to each other and you know, we really helped each other. And surprisingly, even Cassi was a big help to me in the end of as well, um, she would always want to help me. She would always want me to help her with walking. She would be like, "You help me with walking, I'll help you with posing." You know, she was really sweet about it. You know, she just wants to help so I took her advice on it. She always kind of stuck up for me as well so, funnily enough.

What are your plans now?
I've been approached by a couple of agencies, I'm going to keep looking around and hopefully find like a really good agency and you know I just want to prove to all the people in the top model world that I can do this.

Are you going to keep your hair that colour?
Yes. I've gotten used to it now and I like it a lot, and all my friends actually say they like it better as well.
