Questionnaire

1. Are there particular qualities you like in a contestant?
I love contestants who have big hearts and a great sense of humor.

2. Do you have a favorite contestant, and who was it?
Speaking of a big heart and a great sense of humor, my favorite contestant of all time is Arkansas' Brooks. I love him! Brooks turned the set into one big party. I hope he comes back for a third show and this time wins the million!

3. How tough is it to stand in place for the entire taping?
Let's just say at the end of the day my feet hate me! It's hard work standing in high heels all day, but it is worth it when you see a contestant win a lot of money. If there were martial arts training for long-term smiling I would have a black belt!

4. What was your most embarrassing moment on the show?
Hmmm. I don't know. I am a goofball so I'm always embarrassing myself. I have learned not to take myself too seriously.

5. What would you like to be doing next in your career?
Deal or No Deal has been an amazing experience for me and hopefully it will lead to a big hosting job. For me that would mean being the host of my own primetime TV show. Maybe Howie can give me some pointers?

6. What do you like doing most with your free time?
I love spending time with my friends and family, going to sporting events, and hanging out at the beach.

7. What one person, besides your parents, has had the most influence on your life? Why?
Besides my parents, my great-grandma Vera has had the most influence on my life. She is 86 years old and has overcome so much. She is strong and independent. Through her wisdom and love she has empowered me to be the woman I am today.

8. Where are you from originally?
I am from Camden, a small town outside of Kansas City, Missouri. It was a great place to grow up, but I always wanted to venture out and see what the world had to offer. While modeling in Miami, Florida, I booked a travel show, which ultimately brought me out to L.A. to pursue my television hosting career.

9. What has been a particularly memorable experience in your life, something that really stood out?
When Deal or No Deal became a huge success I was asked by my middle school principal to come speak to the school. That was such an awesome experience for me because I had the opportunity to influence so many students.

10. Now for the important questions: what was your favorite television show when you were ten?
"Full House!" I watched it every day after school and never missed an episode. People would always say I looked like Stephanie Tanner. One time someone even asked me for my autograph at a mall. I was very flattered.
