Okay so Chantal is one of those girls that against a LOT of people I would save just because I remember her and remember her fondly. No further investigation needed. But unfortunately for Chantal, Queen Alice falls to no bitch in cycle 6. Looking back over her time on the show, and even her post-show career I have learned a few things about Chantal that I didn't know, or more likely didn't remember until now.
The first is that she is a girl from Bankstown. Looking at her and hearing Bankstown - something clicks. You just
get it. Chantal is a Bankstown girl and where I grew up and went to high school, I knew a LOT of Bankstown girls - and I wouldn't be shocked at all if a lot of my love for her came from some kind of geographical pride. Truth is - the same goes for a couple of people - anyone who tells you they love Jordan from cycle 3 and don't use her as a reason why Sydney is either a) not from Sydney or b) not a lover of Jordan. Chantal was kind of like that - I always root for the girls I could know IRL like that.
The second thing is that Chantal was super average on the show.
All of her photos were kind of awkward or not-quite-right. Take her elimination shot as a good example of what I mean:
Pretty much all of her photos were like this and it was only by the luck of other girls being even more shit that got her through. Probably the saddest thing about her elimination is that she was in the Bottom 2 that week with KIMBERLY THRUPP - yes the same one that Trojan viciously destroyed. And Kimberly beat her in that Bottom 2 elimination (only to get booted the following week). Poor Chantal
She's had a pretty decent career since then - it's been 4 years since she was a contestant on the show and she's still working
When she left she said she wanted to pursue modelling and she has. You Go Girl! She has appeared during Fashion Week (in Aus) every year since from what I can gather, and has a pretty good go of it on the runway, and in front of the camera as well I suppose - though she does suffer camera aging.
Take this:
The girl looks like Cheryl Cole - but here she was 23, and Cheryl Cole is 31. Not that Cheryl Cole is "old" but a model doesn't want to look 31 at that age.
Love You Chantal <3 Sorry Alice got put up with you.
