Natalie Ann Pack O'Connell was a contestant on cycle 12 of ANTM in 2009. She was the eighth girl eliminated and placed sixth.
Early Life[]
Natalie was born and raised in Palos Verdes, California. She attended the University of California, Irvine, where she was on the Dean's List.[1]
In 2005, she appeared in an episode of "The Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Millan.
ANTM[]
Natalie was the second girl called to the final cast. During her time in the competition, she won two challenges in episodes four and six.
In episode three, she infamously did not receive a makeover because Tyra believed she looked modelesque as she was. Natalie did not know this, and she freaked out when the hairstylist tried to cut her hair. Mr. Jay told her that it was a joke.
She clashed with Aminat and Teyona in episode six, after Celia threw Tahlia under the bus in judging. Aminat walked up to Natalie and called her stupid repeatedly. She was in the bottom two in episode ten with Aminat, and was eliminated for delivering only moderate quality photos.
At the cycle 12 reunion, Natalie was voted "Most likely to be mistaken for a Gossip Girl".[2]
Call-Out Order[]
| Natalie | Episodes | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
| 2nd | 8th | 4th | 9th | 4th | 6th | 2nd | 3rd | Eliminated | |
Behind The Scenes[]
Natalie revealed in a post-show interview that before that scene, she was waiting patiently for her makeover when the hairstylist came from behind her out of nowhere and yelled to chop it off immediately. He pushed her head down, and snipped his scissors in the air while dropping fake hair pieces on the floor, gaslighting Natalie.
Natalie is most likely known for her unaired meltdown in her final panel. Celia said in a 2009 interview that Natalie and Tyra were in a screaming fight.[3] This led to wide fan speculation on what happened. In 2020, Mr. Jay confirmed on Jays Chat, as well as Aminat and Fo confirming on their livestream, that the meltdown did happen.
When it was announced she was eliminated, she called the judges out one by one. First Miss Jay for not giving constructive criticism. She then called out Nigel, then Paulina, and finally Tyra. She asked why she would be the color Orange and called the color beauty photoshoot stupid.[4][5]

She was featured in Bliss, Fan the Fire, Pacific San Diego, Beverly Hills Lifestyle, BAYFashion, Beauty Entertainment, Maxim, Hip Hop Weekly, Exotic Fashion, MYO, British GQ, Weiberkram, DEEP Surf, and Swim Journal.
