Whoops?

We all make mistakes. And when you do, I guess you learn not to make the same mistake again. Well if the mistake was on live TV and in front of a live audience of 2000 people it will be a bit embarrassing right? In today’s viral video, the host of the live reality TV show "Australian Next Top Model" made international headlines within minutes when she announced the wrong winner of the two ladies fighting for the top spot to become a model on the international stage.

Basically what happened was the host Sarah Murdoch announced the wrong winner when she was fed the wrong information by her producer via her ear piece. Shortly after the producer realised what had happened and Murdoch was told that she announced the wrong winner. The disastrous event was dissected in real time on Twitter, and it became an international trending topic immediately.

Makes you wonder, was it all a publicity stunt to get attention or was it a honest mistake. The video got picked up via the internet as well with the fuelling of twitter and it went viral within days, grabbing over a million views on the popular video-sharing website YouTube. Generously the Foxtel's director awarded the runner up with a trip overseas and the $25,000 price money. Goes to show once again how powerful the internet is when it comes to sharing something with the world. Check out the video and see how all this unfolded.
