Norelle Griffith, née Van Herk is an American fashion model. She competed on Cycle 3 of ANTM in 2004, where she was the tenth girl eliminated and placed fifth.
ANTM[]
Norelle in her auditions stated how much she loved Paris Hilton. She was the eleventh girl selected to be part of the fourteen finalists. She was part of a clique made up of herself, Ann and Eva, and never placed higher than third in any of the call-out orders.
For her makeover, she was given short dark hair about shoulder length and had her braces removed. She won the first challenge of the cycle that episode. In episode four, she was ecstatic to meet the Heatherettes at the runway challenge, because Paris was one of their clients. She was infamous for falling flat on that same runway.
She was eventually eliminated in episode eleven for not being as strong in photos as she was in personality, as well as having extreme struggles with the Japanese culture.
