Natalie Cunial's Biography

Natalie Cunial was a 28-year-old bikini barista in Salem in Oregon when she entered Big Brother series 9.

Natalie is sometimes called Natalie Lynn, Natalia, Nat, Natty, and chatty Natty.

Coffee Nation in Oregon needed to find a way to attract customers to its drive-through coffee shop and so devised the idea of having the baristas wear bikinis. The baristas, who earned $9 an hour, found they were getting $200 a day in tips.

Natalie is religious and takes her Bible everywhere.

Natalie Cunial won the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic Oregon and Miss Salem Oregon 2000.

According to CBS's Big Brother biography of Natalie Cunial, she "has two cats--Maximillion and Wilson and a Jack Russell terrier named Samson."

Natalie was born in Mt.View, California on November 7, 1979, but grew up in Salem.

In Big Brother series 9 Natalie was paired with her 'soulmate' Matt.

Natalie and Matt were put on the block two weeks running - in the third and fourth weeks - of Big Brother. They survived their first experience of the block when Alex and Amanda were evicted, and the second occasion proved short-lived as they won the power of veto and took themselves off the block.

Natalie Cunial appeared to be besotted with 'Matty' and was upset when he was evicted after he was put up by James.

With just seven house guests left, Natalie won head of household and put up James and Joshuah.

When the Big Brother house was down to the last five houseguests, Natalie Cunial found herself on the block with Sharon. Ryan voted to evict her, whilst Adam voted to evict Sharon, and Sheila as head of household had the casting vote and chose to evict Natalie.
