Natalie, an Internet Fraud Security Officer from New Westminster, British Columbia became the third girl eliminated on Citytv’s “Canada’s Next Top Model”, reducing the pool from eight girls to seven.
In the third episode, Judge Stacey McKenzie shows the girls how to really walk a runway….at a bowling alley! She’s unimpressed with Tenika, even though she has the most confidence and Andrea, whose walk is extremely awkward. Sisi impresses Stacey and she comments that she is closest to becoming Canada’s Next Top Model. Stacey puts the girls to work in front of a real audience, a university rugby team!! Low and behold, Brandi has a “wardrobe malfunction” in front of the rugby team, before winning the challenge.
The next day, the photo shoot involves A LOT of diamonds and an emotional storyline. Guest Judge, Hollywood Stylist Phillip Bloch directs the girls to give him a range of movement and emotion. Alanna doesn’t really know how to move, Heather can take direction but seems incapable of emoting, Natalie looks lost and even Sisi is not on her game. Tenika has great movement, but the camera can’t capture a frame that has any impact. Both Brandi and Ylenia blow Phillip away with great performances.
During the third elimination ceremony, the girls are asked to display their runway walk for the judges. All the girls do fairly well. Tenika is the most confident. In the end, Natalie is eliminated. Although Paul didn’t want to see her go, the others felt she just wasn’t Top Model material. Coming up in Episode Four next Wednesday, spirit will be broken when the girls have to show some strength…and some skin.
Canada’s Next Top Model will walk away with a $100,000 beauty contract from Procter & Gamble. The winner will receive a modeling contract with top agency, Sutherland Models and be featured in an editorial spread in FASHION Magazine.
Episode Four of “Canada’s Next Top Model” airs Wednesday, June 21st at 8:00pm (7:00pm CT) on Canada’s Citytv.

Kate Moss will not face cocaine charges despite an eight-month police probe costing $370,000, Scotland Yard confirmed today.
The investigation was launched after the 32-year-old Croydon-born supermodel was secretly filmed chopping up lines of white powder at a west London recording studio. However it ended in farce because legally photographs of drug abuse do not constitute evidence of possession.
Now Crown Prosecution Service lawyers have informed the Met that there is “insufficient evidence” to bring charges against multi-millionairess Moss.
Police also confirmed that the self-styled “literary agent” of Kate’s on-off rock star boyfriend Pete Doherty was charged with possession of Class A drugs after being arrested as part of the lengthy probe.
Paul Roundhill, 51, was given a 12-month conditional discharge when he pleaded guilty to the offence last month.A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed today: “The CPS has advised us of their decision that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute in relation to the Met police investigation into allegations of possible drug abuse by a 32-year-old woman, as reported in newspaper reports in September 2005.
“Despite all reasonable inquiries being pursued by the investigation, which included forensic examination of the scene of the alleged drug taking and investigation into the suspected supply network, we have been unable to
provide sufficient proof of the identity of the substance depicted in the media photographs.
“It should be noted that this investigation was never solely into the actions of one individual but mainly focused on tracing the wider drug supply.
“During the course of the investigation two men were arrested on March 10 for possession of class A drugs. On April 20 one of the men, Paul Roundhill, 51, of Whitechapel, was charged with possession of Class A drugs.
“On May 9 he pleaded guilty to the offence at Thames Magistrates Court and was given a 12 month conditional discharge. The second man, aged 22, accepted a caution for possession of a Class A substance.
“A further four people, three men and one woman, voluntary attended police buildings to be interviewed. No further action has been taken against them.”
The spokesman added: “The decision to begin this investigation was made after images and allegations of illegal drug taking were featured in the media.
“There are always inherent difficulties in getting criminal proof in an investigation instigated in response to images of alleged drug taking.
“Nevertheless we have a responsibility to investigate allegations of drug use, but this should be seen in the context of the major and dedicated work that occurs on a daily basis into disrupting criminal networks involved in major drug supply.”
During the investigation experts gave statements testifying the substance was cocaine — and Kate and others present appeared to be under its influence.
An officer from the Met’s Specialist Crime Operations Team jetted to America to interview a witness and speak to specialists.
Mum-of-one Kate booked into an Arizona rehab clinic after being exposed.
The huge investigation was launched with the blessing of the Met’s under-fire commissioner Sir Ian Blair last September.The grainy black and white images came from the studio in Chiswick, West London, where Kate’s then-boyfriend Doherty was recording with his band Babyshambles

Naomi Campbell has seemingly met the love of her life. The supermodel - who has dated a host of famous men, including actor Robert De Niro, Usher and Formula 1 boss Flavio Briatore - says she couldn’t be happier with her new lover, but is refusing to reveal who he is. The catwalk queen confessed the mystery man could be ‘The One’.
She is quoted in Britain’s Daily Express newspaper as saying: “I think I’ve met someone now who likes me for who I am, not what I do.
“We grow. You learn about each other and take it one day at a time. When I’m in love, I really try to be there for that person. I don’t want to go out too much.”
The 36-year-old beauty - famed for her fiery temper - also revealed her new beau can handle her infamous tantrums.
She said: “I’m known for losing my temper. I’m a bit of a character. I’m working on who to trust.”

Kate Moss has swapped The Ivy for a greasy spoon. The supermodel - sporting a black trilby, sexy beige shorts and lace-up boots - grabbed lunch at Troy’s cafe in London’s Kentish Town yesterday. The international fashion icon ordered a large white roll with tuna, mayonnaise and sweetcorn and a full-fat Coke. Owner Conert Dunya admitted he didn’t have a clue who she was and when told she was one of the world’s top models, said: “She’s far too skinny for me.” A few more calorific lunches like that and she’ll be more to Conert’s taste.
Apart from that Kate is considering hiring a bodyguard, after having her mobile phone stolen and her car raided by a gang.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the 32 year-old beauty wants to keep herself and her daughter, Lila, out of harm’s way. The car raid happened when Lila’s nanny, Jade Davis, took her to a ballet class. After the class, Davis stopped the car on a rural road so that Lila could go to the toilet, but while the two were out of the car, a gang of youths stole the nanny’s handbag and a large sum of money.
A source said, “Kate has realised she is heavily followed, people know where she lives and she knows she needs to up her security. She’s become very paranoid and wants to step up her security arrangements immediately.”
Meanwhile teen queen and budding fashionata, Lindsay Lohan, has said she loves Kate Moss’ style. The young actress and the 31 year old supermodel have become new best friends recently. It is believed that Moss is helping Lohan cope with the pressure of being constantly under the spotlight. The pair have also bonded over their love of fashion . The 20 year old told the Daily Record: “I admire her fashion sense. We’ve swapped fashion ideas. We actually played dress up once and just did girl stuff. I asked her a lot of things, mostly about comfort things.”
