We're not going to lie, we weren't sorry to see Natalie Pack get the axe during Wednesday's episode of America's Next Top Model. From our perspective she'd spent pretty much the whole time complaining and being generally unlikable. However, it seems Natalie has a gripe or five about her portrayal on the show, and more than a few bones to pick with Miss Tyra Banks herself...
"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," America's Next Top Model eliminee Natalie Pack
tells us. "They actually cut and pasted lines to make me sound like I
was a spoiled brat because they were so desperate to make me look that
way. (E! Online)
Here's the thing: she's obviously not the first reality show contestant to whine about being misrepresented through editing, and we understand that there may be some truth to the idea that a decent editor can drum up some drama that's not real. That said, no one can force you to say stupid things. They can take quotes out of context, or cut off the second part of your point or whatever, but they can't actually force you to say things that are ridiculous and/or offensive.
Turns out Natalie's not finished...
"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 tells us. (E! Online)
Okay, yikes. If we were Natalie we'd be a little concerned about pissing Tyra off, and expecting to have a career in the modelling industry. Actually, we'd just be worried about pissing Tyra off in general -- after all, our girl T went toe-to-toe with Naomi Campbell and stood her ground. Besides, what possible good can come of trashing Tyra and a show that has just given you what might very well be the greatest opportunity of your career? Wouldn't you rather stay on good terms and hope they call you to come back in future seasons and/or work on projects in the future?
We're throwing our support behind our favorite remaining contestant, Allison...
We like Allison for a number of reasons: She's different, she's fun, she takes a fierce picture...
and she has a bit of a creep factor which sets her apart from previous top models...
