Chantal Jones was a contestant and the runner-up to Cycle 9 of ANTM.
Originally rom Austin, Texas, Chantal was a big fan of America’s Next Top Model even before she was on the reality model search. In fact, she began watching in during its first two seasons, but was too busy to catch up with the succeeding cycles. However, she tried out for the first time for Cycle 9, and was lucky enough to be called back. Chantal recalled that it was one of her friends who convinced her to be on the show, thus she drove to Dallas, Texas, to attend an open casting call and eventually landed a spot in the final thirteen.
Entering the reality series when she was nineteen years old, Chantal made it a point to do her best once she was named as one of the final thirteen to compete in America’s Next Top Model Cycle 9. In fact, in the first challenge in the episode entitled “The Girls Go Green,” Chantal was able to produce great photos. However, in the episode entitled “The Girl Who Goes Bald,” Chantal experienced some difficulty with her photos. She was then criticized for her inability to apply what the photographer and art director told her. Despite this, she luckily did not end up in the bottom two. She did, however, land in the bottom two in the episode entitled “The Girls Who Crawl,” after she was chastised for not improving much over the few days. In the episode entitled “The Girls Go To Shanghai,” Heather won the challenge and asked Chantal to accompany her in her shopping spree reward. Chantal proved her worth in the episode entitled “The Girls Go To The Great Wall,” where she was commended on having the ability to stand out in a group photo. In the final episode, Chantal was commended for exuding a high-fashion appeal, but was not named America’s Next Top Model, as she only came in as a runner-up to Saleisha Stowers.
Chantal is currently signed with Nous Model Management, L.A. Model Management and Paragon Model Management in Mexico. She used to be signed with 62 Models and Talent in Auckland.

Chantal?! OMG!!! You’re so awesome!
I love you, Chantal! You’re delightful! And that name?! It’s GENIUS!
Ps: I Loved that moment when you confronted Bianca! That was so entertaining!!
August 27, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Es una chica super; que linda. Ella merecia ganar.
Rough translation: “She is a super girl; how beautiful. She deserved to win.”
October 13, 2010 at 2:54 am
The real winner! I don’t understand why they would not choose her!
October 14, 2010 at 2:52 am
She is the real winner!
We all know that!
November 3, 2010 at 1:46 pm
She is the winner for me! It was really ridiculous that Tyra and the other judges didn’t pick her as a winner! Urggh. But I really do love her! She is amazing and stunning. She has very great photos and has the most gorgeous eyes and the cutest smile! I just love her. She is an alive barbie doll that is so high fashion!
November 4, 2010 at 3:04 am
I remember this was the very first cycle of America’s Next Top Model that I watched. Chantal’s portfolio was the best in that cycle and she was the real winner.
November 21, 2010 at 7:40 am
I love her with that short hair. It takes some of the girl next door and it makes her more of the girl around the corner.
November 24, 2010 at 4:54 pm
You people must be on crack. She is average and commercial.
December 2, 2010 at 10:59 pm
You are soooooooo right! Her face is something that you see everyday in the modeling industries. We’re sick of it. Heather should’ve won this thing.
February 14, 2011 at 6:35 am
I agree, plus Saleisha’s runway walk rocked! it’s the best I’ve seen on ANTM!
January 4, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Она должна была быть победителем! А не Салейша!
January 4, 2011 at 11:44 pm
Should’ve won!
Love ya, Chantie!
January 19, 2011 at 2:42 am
She should’ve won; the other girl was blah.
January 20, 2011 at 9:20 pm
I’m from Russia, but I love Chantal Jones!!!!
должна была выиграть шантал а не эта кикимора салиша!!!!
Chantal SHOULD WIN, BUT NOT SALIESHA!!!
October 5, 2011 at 11:39 am
I 100% agree with you on that! there is no way shelesha could be a better model than chantal…..In my opinion I think that the top two should of been, Chantal (of course) and Janah (cycle 9) and then from there chantal should of won ANTM!!
January 20, 2011 at 9:23 pm
I LOVE CHANTIE!!!!
Я ОБОЖАЮ ШАНТИ!!!
January 23, 2011 at 12:01 am
Saleisha по сравнению с ней просто ужас.
Но честно говоря она меня тоже не особенно впечатлила. Jenah и Heather были лучше их обоих и должны были быть в финале.
February 7, 2011 at 4:35 am
Plain Jane.
February 14, 2011 at 6:37 am
Watched the re-run of Cycle 9 yesterday~Saleisha double-deserved this win!
February 14, 2011 at 6:38 am
Oops, forgot to say it was on Oxygen all day marathon.
April 10, 2011 at 5:29 am
Dull, stupid, how does anyone see high fashion?
April 25, 2011 at 7:05 pm
I from Russia,and I think Chantal should be win,she looks like Britney Spears!
May 11, 2011 at 10:00 am
Jenah was much better than chantal and saliesha. And heather topped them all.
August 19, 2011 at 10:01 pm
totally agree!!!
May 16, 2011 at 5:02 am
I do loved her she is so sweet and physically like a model tall and had pretty pictures.. when I saw her makeover photo I kinda laugh beacause with the long blond bangs in her hair and that bright blue swimsuit or lingerie she wore she looks like Lady Gaga in the music video “Pokerface”…
June 1, 2011 at 5:57 am
See photo above … she still does not know how to stand out in a crowd or own the photo shoot.
July 1, 2011 at 3:10 am
She sellin those clothes well! i actually want everything she’s wearing!
July 3, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Chantal really should’ve won! Her picture is way much better than Saleisha.
July 5, 2011 at 9:12 pm
Mischa Barton – that’s who it is.
July 31, 2011 at 12:46 am
Chantal,you have a serious gift!! You’re the closest thing to Barbie I have ever seen and I rooted for you from the beginning!! I knew you’d get far and its so great to see you’ve made such a great career out of this competition!!!!!!
August 31, 2011 at 3:24 pm
She has always reminded me of a blonde version of Adrianne cycle 1 winner. Of course, Tyra never mentions that cause she hates Adrianne.
Chantal is beautiful and should have totally won.
September 7, 2011 at 9:43 am
Chantal was my favorite since the beginning, despites her regular looks, she’s bubbly and likeable. =D I was hoping that she were the girl who was won this shit. but again, Tyra do whatever she wants.
September 12, 2011 at 9:01 pm
Jenah or Bianca should have won. Chantal is pretty, but I don’t think she shouldn’t have made it as far as she did.
Saleisha shouldn’t have even been on the show since she was already a professional model before ANTM.
September 17, 2011 at 11:29 pm
I think that Chantal is absolutley beautiful and thought that she would beat Saleisha and win the title in the competition. Her portfolio was perfect! I’m very happy that she is now so successfull in her modeling career.
October 5, 2011 at 11:36 am
OMG….Your simply amazing Chantal! I can not believe you did not win cycle 9, your were out of all the cycle 9 girls the one to truley beat! Your a wonderful model and I hope to see more of you and your excellent photogenic photos you take. I was hopeing that you would of been on the latest ANTM “all stars”, where 10 models from previous cycles come back in the hopes of becoming america’s next top all stars model.
ps: I hope you come to Australia soon!!
GO CHANTAL. xxx
October 13, 2011 at 2:40 pm
