According to an internet interview with Celia, Natalie and Tyra got into a shouting match during this panel, but I guess it just never got aired because it would have made Tyra look bad, of course. Natalie probably didn't mention it in post-show interviews because she was trying to buck the bitch-edit she got, and someone trying to prove that they aren't a bitch like they were portrayed wouldn't say that they had been yelling at someone else before they left.
she was a very strong competitor..she had so many good pictures (not the bests because judges liked teyona way too much) and was obviously better than aminat..tyra just kept her because of her body and not for the talent..she obviously didn't like natalie..
ok so i just rewatched cycle 12 and i will say that natalie is one of my all time favorite girls..looks like a model completely and to me her weakest photo was the sight seeing..but i really feel she was robbed..if you watch the cycle she gets praised for her photos but never given the credit, wins a mojaority of the challenges and around the powder shoot, tyra starts hating her..from then on, even after sandra left, the show literally turns on her and suddenly the judges hate her..bullshit

Damn this shot is so gorgeous. When they said it was boring, I was expecting someone to come out and go "just kidding", and it never came
"Jay told me to stay in one pose" really Natalie, really? She's just sitting there, and she has no personality in person at all. She is one of the most overrated girls of all time (Next to Teyona and Elyse). Alot of her photos aren't great and she's definitely a spoiled brat. Thank god Aminat stayed, she deserves it more than her!!
