Would the Next Top Model Please Step Forward .... Ooops!

 For those who can't get enough of reality (and I use the term loosely) TV, here's a story about the Aussie version of Top Model where the name of the runer up was incorrectly announced on air live as the name of the winner.  You have to feel sorry for the host of the show, don't you?  (At least they gave the runer up a good consolation prize - she got to meet with "Elite Model Management" along with the winner...)

Thanks so much for this - I'm thinking I might use it as an additional illustration of "promissory estoppel" - currently what I use right now is a hypo (based on a real event that happened at Cornell a few years ago) in which students were told that they had been admitted (by mistake - they were on the wait list) and took all sorts of detrimental reliance based on that communication.

What a great idea! I knew that these TV shows had to be good for something law school related.
