Natalie Pack was a contestant during Cycle 12 of ANTM.
This 19-year-old Palos Verdes, California native was a student during her appearance on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 12. To most watchers of the show, she was the resident rich girl during this cycle.
Natalie, who started the competition with some minor modeling experience, told E! Online that she felt she’d been butchered by unfavorable editing. “I think they edited me to make me look like I was spoiled. I am completely opposite of the character they made me be on the show. They actually cut and pasted lines to make me sound like I was a spoiled brat because they were desperate to make me look that way.” She was even shown on camera commenting on the accommodations in Brazil, saying such statements like, “I wish we had a pool.”
Natalie isn’t the first reality show contestant to complain about how she was portrayed on the show, nor will she be the last. But she did have some interesting things to say about Tyra’s involvement in the show’s progression.
Before Natalie was eliminated, she pointed out that Tyra’s criticism of her photo was a far cry from the words of encouragement she’d been hearing on the set from the photo director, Jay Manuel. Tyra shot her down, and Natalie was eliminated soon thereafter. Natalie said of the incident, “It was very, very shady. I think the judges thought that I lied and that’s why I got sent home. I have a feeling Tyra and Jay don’t really click that well because they have totally different ideas. I have a feeling they didn’t even really communicate because to have completely opposite ideas that you want the girls to do is completely ridiculous and unfair.” She went on to say that she thinks Tyra plays favorites, a suspicion many ANTM watchers have had for years. “Tyra definitely has a soft spot for Aminat and Teyona. I think she just loves [their] personalities. I feel like they’re most relatable to Tyra, since Tyra was a black model struggling. I think she has a hidden emotional connection with the black girls, and I think that’s where a lot of favoritism comes from. I’m not accusing her of it, but that’s just my opinion.”
Natalie said this about the winning model: “I think Teyona will [win], but I hope Allison will. Teyona has the judges on her side; she has the ability to take a great picture. Though, when you see her in person, it’s like, how do you even tell that she’s a model? With Allison you know she’s a model. She’s beautiful, and she has something special. I really want Allison to win, but I think it’s going to be Teyona.”
Natalie performed well during the competition, with good and mediocre photos, but ended up becoming the 8th girl eliminated from the show due to her poor performance during the Carmen Miranda shoot. Natalie won one reward challenge during episode four.
Since the show, Natalie has modeled for Jockey and BL!SSS Magazine, July 2009. She walked in Billabong USA’s 3rd Annual Design for Humanity show and for Dona Daneshi, “I Am Mystic.”
Natalie Pack is currently signed with Ford Models in Los Angeles.

She looks like Cindy Crawford in the last photo.
March 7, 2011 at 9:18 pm
Definitely. First thing I thought.
October 8, 2010 at 9:54 am
What a sexy woman!
December 22, 2010 at 1:40 am
Eh, nothing special about her. AND she’s so racist.
January 4, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Damn her body is hot!! She and Allison should have been top two of course. Allison would take it all. It is sad that she was portrayed as someone she wasn’t. Best of luck.

Natalie was sooo classy during that argument with Aminat. I really would like to know what happens to these black girls in US… Camille, Monique, Aminat, Eugenia, Teyona… Every cycle has this insupportable girls who drives everyone crazy and makes us wanna punch them.

Cute. Did you forget they many nice Black women like Danny, Nik, Toccara or Eva? I can certainly pull out the names of some of the White women who were really nasty – MELROSE, WHITNEY, Elyse, Renee. Shoot, Janice Dickenson was a piece of work. But these women’s personalities were their personalities. It has nothing to do with race. It’s not really about how they were raised. It is how they chose to be. Period.
March 7, 2011 at 9:20 pm
I hope the poster (Linda) didn’t think she was being subtle with her racist comment. LOL.
January 19, 2011 at 3:37 am
She sucked; nothing special about her. I agree. Nothing special about her.
January 23, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Damn, she is so hot! She looks like a Victoria’s Secret angel. And these photos are amazing; she looks like a true supermodel.
February 21, 2011 at 4:08 am
She didn´t look like at top model at all. Her nose needs a nose job.
March 7, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Breast implants.
March 27, 2011 at 3:37 pm
I don’t think so.
March 19, 2011 at 10:14 pm
Didn’t care for her on the show but looks like she’s done some great work.
March 27, 2011 at 3:35 pm
She has an AMAZING body!
April 22, 2011 at 12:45 am
Nice Natalie! You hit it right on target about Tyra and Jay M and Ms. J. That’s exactly what the case is and we should all know it by now. There is a TON of editing done. If you don’t, you’re blind, I’m sorry. I think Tyra and Jay M do communicate a lot actually, although I believe Tyra play’s favourite’s as you said. It’s become more and more apparent that ANTM is a popularity contest and not a real modeling contest anymore if it even ever was. Yet I admit, I still watch it. I do wish Tyra would quit mocking other people’s accents though. It’s really quite rude and she is always getting on everyone else’s case about it, so what’s up with that? Follow your own advice, woman! Amazing body and face Natalie. I wish you’d gone much further and you really deserved to. They did you wrong.
April 22, 2011 at 7:21 pm
Put her on a Victoria’s Secret runway already!
May 5, 2011 at 5:08 am
Miss Long Legs. Her body is gorgeous anyways. I hope she makes a career, I was really surprised when she got eliminated.
June 24, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Banging body, but her face … too bad!
July 3, 2011 at 6:16 am
Pretty girl, but very predictable, always the same facial expression and that arrogant attitude. Editing or not, she said what she said, nobody put words on her mouth. Period.
I might be biased, though. She said some mean things about my country (Brazil), as if it’s nothing much, after seeing like, what? 0,01% of it? That was edited out, so if they were really trying to make her sound like a brat, why would they do that?
BTW, her Carmen Miranda was ridiculous. She was all about joy, tropics, colors and all those Latin American clichés. Instead, she choses to do that SAME face all over again. And AGAIN.
July 8, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Her mole annoys me.
July 21, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Nothing modelly about her at all.
August 18, 2011 at 10:59 am
I don’t konw what should I think now.
September 1, 2011 at 1:31 am
The forth from bottom bathing suit pic her body looks like it was airbrush shrunk and her belly button looks misplaced. She irritated me cause she complained a lot but she probably was just tired of the 8 week long constant work. Anyways, she is beautiful. Her face has gotten a tiny bit more expressive. Her lack of control over her eyebrows always frustrated me.
September 14, 2011 at 3:00 am
Her arrogance is what helped her off the show and she is still making excuses. She needs a big slice of humble pie.
September 29, 2011 at 6:06 am
Looks like some girls “develop” late, eh?
November 24, 2011 at 8:19 am
ordinary short-hecked girl…
December 23, 2011 at 11:43 pm
I think she looks like Heather from cycle 9.
January 11, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Natalie Pack just won Miss California 2012 this past weekend. Now, she’s going to be competing on Miss USA 2012, and if she wins, she’d go on to Miss Universe 2012. I’m surprised she won, though. She’s not very eloquent, and she was pretty boring in the show. Badly edited or not, she didn’t shine as a whole.
