- I AM a Supermodel
- Branden talks about his win, what he'll do with the money, and if he plans on asking Nicole out.
Bravotv.com: At the beginning of the season, did you think you would win? Or who did you think would after seeing the other models?
Well, I’ve got to admit, at the beginning of the season, I was very intimidated by all the models, definitely I thought I wasn’t going to be underestimating myself. And really who I thought was going to win was either Sandhurst or Jonathan. That’s who I thought was going to win. So when I got down to them at the end, when I was with them, I was just amazed by myself. I thought “Holy crap! I really made it this far.” I had a one in three chance to win so why not just go for it?
Bravotv.com: Especially in the last episode they [Jonathan & Sanhurst] almost kind of played father figures during the show for you. What was that relationship like with the other guys?
The relationship with the other guys was very good. I love those two. Jonathan, he’s more of the father figure type of guy and Sanhurst is more of just like your best friend. I really was privileged to actually share a home with them for two months and have fun with them. I had fun no matter what we were doing.
Bravotv.com: In the last episode, you get to shoot with this amazing photographer in the first part and do the whole Polaroid challenge with that camera. What was that like?
That was my favorite photo shoot out of all of them. It wasn’t like "Do this pose." It wasn’t very "posey." It was more showing yourself. There was one of them that was pretty posy because it was a high fashion one, but then there was your portrait, and then there was there’s the group shot. And I felt like in the group shot, I did the best.
Bravotv.com: And then you had the Cosmo shoot. Did that just feel really natural to you?
Well that was probably one of my favorite photo shoots. It was very natural. And they just told me to act like that guy that girls want to be with and the guy that guys want to be friends with. And I was good in that and they said "You really are a Cosmo guy." And I felt very confident about that.
Bravotv.com: In your final catwalk, you had the more playful one, and then you had the Ben Sherman one, what did you want to accomplish with those catwalks?
Really on those catwalks, I just wanted to show them that I’ve matured since the beginning of the competition and that I know what I’m doing and I’m ready to be a supermodel. That’s really what I was just trying to show them. And I felt a little awkward and funny in the whole suit I had on with all the bows. It was kind of weird. But, it was fun.

Didn't see much of the show, but was rooting for you during the last episode! Your portrait was the best, it looked just like a male super model. Good luck with a huge career ahead!

I met him a couple days ago at IMTA in NY. Before they introduced him I was like Holy Crap thats Branden! And I even was in the fashion show with him. Oh my gosh he is so cute. I got to hug him and my heart was beating so fast and hard he even told me he felt it. Haha. I love his scar it's awesome. He is so gorgeous he leaves me breathless. He seemed really chill and down to earth so thats cool. He is just Branden, Hot, Amazing Branden. I knew he was gonna win. Congrats :D

B.S! Sandhurst or Jonathan deserved to win. Branden skated through the whole competition by the skin of his teeth! Sandhurst and Jonathan were the strongest throughout the entire show. I'm shocked!

Brandon- You were my favorite from day one. It wasn't because of your gorgeous looks. It was because you were so real and ready to learn from the unique situation you were in. I am a single Mom of a 20 year old son who is a Marine in Iraq and I am also very close to him. You remind me so much of him. I am so proud of both of you. I wish I could somehow introduce you to my super beautiful 19 year old daughter.

congrats.....I used to bartend in Medford and when I saw you were from Central Point, I had to root for you. Then you so stepped it up and I honestly screamed when you won, cuz i thought you really all had your own good points, and that one of the older guys would take it. I was hoping it would be you!!! Go southern oregon!! p.s. your mom was soooo cute!!

I knew it would be Brandon because Sandhurst did not fit the typical size that designers are looking for and Jonathan was to old to be a model in supermodel years. It's the hard facts young and slim is whats marketable. I know this because I used to work for a designer in Manhattan. Mind you I loved jonathan, but he was not a designers choice. The more younger and slimmer they are the better. This holds very true.......

Sandhurst should have CLEARLY won hands dwn! Not knocking Branden for his victory, but if you wanna talk about fair & consistency, it should have been Sandhurst no doubt, but hey that's how it is with these reality shows, it's never fair. The judges sway back and forth in their decisions & in the end I think it becomes more of a personal & "favorite" choice rather than a choice based on who really deserves it based on their consistent performance throughout the entire show from start to finish, and based solely on that SANDHURST should have been the next Supermodel!!!

Some people might be shocked; however, I'm glad -- more like ecstatic -- that he won. Branden always stood out to me. Even though he was sort of the underdog, there's was always something about him. He grew a lot and progressed throughout the show, which is the point of the show. I also love how close he was to his mom and how open he was about it. I can relate, it always made me smile when he spoke about his mom :) What else is there to say?? Dude! Is it bad that I'm 24 and I think He's gorgeous?? !! lol
I think Kate White (Cosmo) said it best: "He's got very nice lips .. Oh Branden, he was dreamy.." lol
Congrats!

Branden this is pretty amazing.
I've listened to my mom tell me that you were on a modeling show for a few weeks now, but I always forgot to look up the show online. Now that I finally do, I see that you've won. Congradulations!! You totally deserve this chance. And you have deffinately changed though since you were hanging out with Jason.
Good Luck in the future.

Congrats Kid! You deserved it all the way. You definitely have it. Your nude photo was the best of the lot and your cat walk was never bad after about the 5th episode. It did seem that the editing of the show was very staged to create a surprise ending. I kept thinking that your photos were always some of the best and the ones they picked as being the best pretty average. However, I guess you've got to expect that stuff in a reality tv show.

Congratulations Branden, I like u from the beginning of the show, but I had never thought that u would put on such a great performance towards victory. I do agree w/ some people said that u r lucky at the last photo shoot, that was the turning point of the final. If it wasn't u who strike both the last photo shoot and the Cosmo's, u might not win over Jonathan... Within the photos, ur eyes are vivid, look like u have many things to tell us. Your last photos are definitely the best set on season 2! On the other hand, I always feel that Sandust is the weakest among the final 3, because his facial expressions look all the same... His body was a little more musclar and would certainly limit his chances to try different things, but I think his face was the main point that made him fail, rather than his body. (I pray to have Sandust or Jonathan's nice shape body!) Jonathan kept on putting on a very good show for us, his love for his family is also adorable... I am a little sad that he lost, but he should know that it was a really close match between him and Brendan.

As for season 2, Branden shines in the last few weeks, he has proved to be super-model material w/ his looks, especially w/ his eyes... We can see he has put on lots of hard works to change and evolve like the judges have asked... As for any industry, not just modeling, good potential and evolution have always been the key to success! Even though Branden has not been consistent like Holly in Season 1, but he showed us he can CHANGE not just because he is the youngest... Some people say he is unstable and will not gain success, but I don't agree w/ that. New York Model Management and Cory will train and give him enough directions before sending him out on market, they will have complete back-up w/ their models, the models don't have to be fighting alone as on the show. The Contract is both sides, the model and the company must have a both-win situation, I believe the judges made the choices w/ their professional minds, and I don't think New York Model Management will spend any time or money on a loser like the others comment...
As for Sandust and Jonathan, they both did a very good job along the show. They lost only a little, and I was a really close match and tough choice to make... The finalists are 3 different people w/ different styles, Sandust is a better dancer/performer than a model/actor, because you can't really tell the differences between his looks... Jonathan is ready to be a model and he can also achieve greatness in different areas like mensuit or swimsuit or underwear, but his age and family took points off because the show is about training a new model and put on a new face in the industry... Jonathan did a good job for being a model, but he is too average like any other CK or RL models, not easy to stand out...

I am an online viewer from Hong Kong, I have some different opinion about this show.
I have watched both Season 1 and 2, season 1 brought up lots of news with the gayness on the show, Ben and Ronnie kept on acting like a couple rather than competitors... Because of the public favour, both of them kept staying on the show until the very end, while Ben should have been eliminated long before... (I do love him w/ his look and body, but he was doing very bad on the show...)
As for season 1, Holly was a easy choice to make, she has proved to be suitable for different style and looks.

Gee, I wonder if this show is, I don't know, perhaps, maybe, BIASED against women b/c Tyson has an agenda? Because, apparently, male models are paid less and have to work harder to become models?

I'm so thrilled you won. You were the right choice and it's refreshing that the winner wasn't the easy popular choice but the right one. You are young, with a fresh unique look that translates well on the catwalk. Though you have been criticized for your walk it was bs -- you've had the best walk from the beginning its exactly what you see in the most elite haute-couture high fashion shows which are more edgy and modern. Johnathan's was the old commercial cat walks which isn't what the show is about. If you want to model straight clothes in a catalogue he's your guy. Sandhurst is strictly fitness modeling material. But this was HIGH Fashion, editorial, beauty which the other two couldnt do. Johnathan too old, Sandhurst too big and bad skin & average. You deserved to win it all.

Congrats! The final three were truly the best. Finally! I would have been happy with either three of you. Watching the other reality show results lately were such a disappointment and I did not agree with the winner from DTWS to Biggest Loser to AI!

Branden, I honestly didn't think you were going to win just because of your walk but congratulations! I just watched the finale and when you were talking to the camera about your dad leaving your mom when you were a baby I lost it. I went from being completely fine to crying in 1 second. I grew up without my dad. Your kids will be lucky to have you as their dad. You will be great! Now go spend some of that money on your mom. She deserves it!

Brandon, I could be your grandmother, I have 3 grandsons and one grand-daughter. I loved you on the show. I hated it when they told you you were too cocky. That made you back off on your personality and then they didn't like what you were doing. Glad you found your way back to being yourself. I loved the big picture and the Cosmo cover shot. Paul Newman of the future for sure. I also was so impressed with the fact that you weren't afraid to show emotions when you were homesisck for your Mom. I have seen my son cry and it only proved to me that he has such a big heart and it is full of love. Don't let the business get to you. Stay strong ant pick good loyal friends. Stay away from the drugs, they will ruin your life. Your Mom must be the proudest Mom in the world today to know that you did this. Good luck in the future, I hope to see your beautifull face and body everywhere.
Will you date any of the girls that were on the show?

Find people who are real to hang with, not the drug and booze crowd. That will ruin everything. Stay true to yourself and don't let the wolves get you.

Blandone,
You won - with a lot of help from the judges! I don't agree with the decision. However, the two better models will rise above this disappointment far better than you will handle your new found fame. You'll probably blow through your winnings in a week! You are so out of your league, it isn't funny.
That said, you can now go on your date with Nicole. She accepted on the condition of you winning. You did that. Now, she has to go out with you. Hopefully, she is not a welcher. So what's it gonna be? Lemonade and cookies since you're too young for champagne and caviar...

You know what?!You won at the end. I was surprised as many viewers, but that is how the modeling industry works sometimes. You had the best final photo and that noone can deny. You are young and that is what the agencies want because they can spend time in you and make you famous, I really hope you go far....Best luck to you!You were the most outspoken and said what was in your mind, I appreciate your honesty because you made the show so much fun because we were able to see how all the crazyness of the show really affects people.Kisses.

Congrats Branden from Canada!!!
I've been watching the whole season and what a fantastic season it was. Great models and great shots! Great final three models! I was rooting for you since the beginning. I'm studying to be a photographer so I know something about fashion photos and out of the final three, I definitely would've picked to take fashion shots of you. Remarkable pictures by the way (especially the last portrait shot). I was totally so nervous that you almost got eliminated in the middle. But phew! You were fantastic. You WON! By the way, You are so blessed to have such a strong woman as your mom. I know it's been a long road for you and your mom without having a "man / dad" to look up to (I can relate as well) but you have grown up to be a mature man - more of a man than your "father" will ever be. Thank you for being an inspiration to everyone. Blessings on your future endeavors!!

Yay!!! My girlfriends and I were on pins and needles hoping that you would win, and we were so happy to see you take it all. We can't wait to see what you do in the future. Whatever it is, it will be special, that's for sure. And in the future, don't be afraid to kiss a guy if asked to in a photo shoot. It doesn't mean that you are gay. You are who you are no matter what, and nothing can ever change that. It will only show you off as the natural, versatile, chameleon-like supermodel that you are. Many congratulations on your victory, you totally deserved it!
Now go set the fashion world on fire!!

heyyyyyyy branden !!!!!!!!!!!! congratulation to u. things to you because they wanted someone else to win.But it was clear to me when the judges asked their final questions to the three of you why they chose you. You are young, a natural who takes direction well, quick to adapt, who listens to advice, adapts easily, and will have a long career ahead of you traveling the world with nothing to hold you back! As great as the other two were,Sandhurst was too tall, did not have enough range in his facial expressions and at times was way too muscular to fit the clothes...And as loving as Johnathan was with his family no agency is gonna fly all three of them to all his photo shoots so they could be together and his stress about their seperation did him in at the end and would be a strain on him as a model which is unfortunate, but true, plus his was actually kinda old for a new model and I agree that his face is at times forgetable. So enjoy your win...you deserve it! Take care. and keep going u do the best

Don't let any negative comments bring you down. It's a shame people would add such comments on your blog.

Branden, the other guys were great, but YOU are a Supermodel!! You really stood out and outshone all the others. You just have the perfect Supermodel look to you. Keep practicing - you're a fast learner. Best of luck and don't let anyone take away your sweetness.

Branden,
Even though I usually go to bed at ten, I always stay up on Wednesday nights to watch Make Me a Supermodel. Since the beginning, I chose three favorites: Sandhurst, Colin, and you of course. Last night on the finale, I was thinking the whole time "Wow. Branden totally has those supermodel looks. If he doesn't win, I will be so mad." When I saw you won, I almost screamed I was so happy. Congrats, keep it up, and I hope to see your face in a magazine or something soon! (:

Branden, Congrats on your win! You transformed so much throughout the show. Your pictures were amazing on the last photo shoot. Being a single mom of 2 with both of their fathers not in the picture, I understand somewhat of what you and your mom went through. Your mom did a great job. You are personable, funny, and a great guy! I am so happy for you both. The bond you and her have is amazing. Get out there and knock him dead!! Congrats again!

Congratulations! I think the judges were dead right. While you weren't as experienced as the other models, and Jonathan and Sandhurst were indeed excellent candidates, the show was "make me a supermodel." They truly succeeded with you. Your final portrait was fantastic. Your mother should be very proud of you. She did a great job.
Jonathan and Sandhurst were total gentlemen and amazing models, and I'm also wishing them great success with their careers.
A well-deserved win for you. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of you for years to come.

Not only did the right man win...but Branden is the most deserving. He has such a unique look that he can go from being the boy next door, to being totally sexy, to being classy and sophisticated. Branden has that "it" factor and will go very far. It's been great watching him grow from week to week. He has such a boyish charm...what a sweet, humble young man. I look forward to seeing him in the fashion industry. Congrats!!!

I may sound condesending, but I really don't understand why you won. You were consistantly in the bottom 2, you have an average body, but I really think the reason why you won is your age. You're only 18, Sandhurst is 22, and Jonathan is 26. Both are considered too old to start out in the modeling world. It just goes to prove that we live in a youth-oriented world.

Congradulations !!!!!! I am so happy for you... I have been rooting for you since the beginnig. I always knew you had it in the bag. I was also correct when I rooted for Holly in season 1.
You are original and unique don't let stardom get to you.
Like when you had the $2000.00 dollar shopping spree at Bloomingdale's and bought your first Tux.. then in the van you mentioned that you would get your shoes at Sear's or JC Penny... Wow , I hope you continue to shop at those Department stores .. Good luck to you in the future which I am certain you'll make it to the very TOP..Truly,
Robbie

CONGRADULATIONS!
I've been watching since the beginning & always thought you were super cute!
I'm just getting out of high school as well at 18 yrs old. And you have trully inspired me to also go after my dream of modeling, because i have the same charm and cockiness as u! I guess it will work to my advantage!
Hope to see u around darlingg ;)

So so happy for you, Branden. what makes your victory sweeter is the fact that all 3 guys in the final were truly great models, yet you still managed to shine through. to be honest, i had been for jonathan from the start, but the final episode totally swayed me to you. your final headshot with the antique camera was honest, haunting, and i totally agree with Nicole's comment that you had the Linda Evangelista neck (her allure magazine cover shot from several years ago.) your mom deserves to be proud. Continued success, Supermodel!

Hey man!
Must confess Jonathan was my favourite at the beginning, but hell as the weeks went by you just got more interesting.... It was between Jonathan and you for me, and I think he started to die down towards the end...
WELL DESERVED, and congrats!!!

I posted my congratulations last night and I don't see it, so here I go again! Well deserved win. Unexpected. Most growth. Very satisfying ending. Stay true to yourself and you will go long in this industry and very far. Don't pay attention to those negative comments out there. Remember that those who are happy with this win are less likely to post their thoughts. Those that are unhappy will always have something to say. Looks like you already have a good fan base. Forget the haters and embrace your gift!
