Australia's Next Top Model
Loukas came third in the Fox 8 production, Australia's Next Top Model. She was almost not picked for the show, due to her height. Loukas dealt with the bitchiness of the girls, especially Paloma, but has now become best friends with the winner of the same cycle, Alice Burdeu.

Runway To LA
After a whirlwind of a couple of months, Fox 8 produced and aired a spinoff of Australia's Next Top Model, Runway to LA, which featured Charlotte Dawson as Jordan's mentor, as she works her way to Los Angeles. The show starts off in Sydney, emphasising the cultural differences between Dawson's and Loukas's life, then follows the pair to Melbourne, where Jordan once again encounters Paloma, and then eventually to LA, where Jordan does media interviews, and meets the likes of Perez Hilton and Christian Audiger, for whom she opens the Ed Hardy show. The show is similar to Janice & Abbey: Beauty and the Best, in which Britain's Next Top Model runner up Abigail Clancy is mentored by former America's Next Top Model judge and supermodel Janice Dickinson, and is taken from her hometown of Liverpool to Los Angeles, doing exactly the same tasks as Jordan in Runway To LA. Loukas is also designing a new bikini line called "Dirty Lullaby".
