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 UPN reality TV series, America's Next Top Model.
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."

[edit] Before Top Model
Joanie is from a Christian family. She is a protestant. Her father is a pastor in a local church and is fairly opposed to Joanie's modeling career, but she pursued it anyway. Before her debut on America's Next Top Model, Joanie worked as a sales associate in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh) . She had minimal experience as a model prior to the show.One time she said she had entered some amateur stripper contests.

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, and received five first call-outs, the highest amount.
