TV Reality Show Contestant

The Resume

    Based in Las Vegas, Nevada
    Eliminated in fourth duel in Survivor South Pacific (fifth exiled)
    Miss Washington 2007
    Third place at Miss America 2008

Why she might be annoying:

    Having lived round-the-clock with 52 pageant competitors for two weeks (a ‘menstrual empire’), she thinks Survivor will be a walk in the park — yet in another breath claims ‘having to survive out here will be difficult.’
    She is peeved by people who drink decaf.
    She was more than eager to get into her two-piece bikini as the tribes finally received their swimsuits.
    Her skipping around in her skimpy two piece made older female contestant Dawn feel ‘old.’
    During the shuffleboard duel, she accidentally knocked off one of her own pucks to leave her down 3-1 (it eventually went down to the wire).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the oldest of four girls.
    She named her grandmother Viola as her inspiration.
    She compares herself to Nicaragua’s Brenda and Cook Islands’/Micronesia’s/Heroes Vs. Villains’ Parvati.
    She regards her ethnic lineage as Japanese, German, Hispanic, and Native American (‘it’s literally in my blood to survive’).
    Because she was born and raised in the church and went on to become a Vegas performer, she considers herself ‘a tall glass of contradiction.’
    She is not a fan of whiny country music (well, at least she doesn’t have to worry about Whitney’s voice).
    She made a ‘cocktail’ of the first melon John was able to chop.
    She was sent to Redemption Island in a 3-2-2 decision that affected John and Dawn — and busted apart her dyad with Ozzy.
