Hollywood Celebrity Gossip Fun

If you've been following America's Next Top Model's 12th cycle, you know that just-eliminated contestant Natalie Pack was this season's resident rich girl.

The 19-year-old student from Palos Verdes, CA was shown complaining about the models' accomodations in Brazil, saying flippant things like, "I wish we had a pool."

Pack, 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.

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's favorite to win? Allison, the 20-year-old artist obsessed with nosebleeds. But she thinks Teyona will win.

"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."
