Joanie Dodds Biography (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Joanie Dodds (b. September 20 1981, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania) is an American fashion model. Dodds currently resides in Hollywood, California. She had her debut television appearance as a finalist on Cycle 6 of the CW reality TV series, America's Next Top Model. She attended The University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio where she was a business major.

Despite having an arguably wider variety of photographic range, the judges on the show felt that Dodds lacked the personal presence of her final competitor, Danielle Evans, and she was thus named first-runner-up. According to Dodds, "The best girl won."

America's Next Top Model

Arriving at casting, Joanie announced she was a rebellious preacher's daughter. She was known for her quirky humour and her dislike for fellow contestant Jade Cole. In the opening of the finale episode, a clip of her saying "Please send Jade home" is shown. While not known for having any animosity face-to-face with the other contestants, she did speak about being annoyed with contestant Sara Albert for copying her poses in a photoshoot in Thailand done atop an elephant.

From the beginning of the season, the panel praised her photogeneity, and Tyra Banks noted, "Joanie can't take a bad picture."

Despite the glowing reports, she was also criticized by the panel for her in-person presence. However, Joanie Dodds has set two records in America's Next Top Model history - she managed to make it to the Top Two Models without a single appearance in the bottom two (later met by Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez), and received five first call-outs, the highest amount.
