The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: At Midnight Magic I fell on my face at the end of our routine after jumping out of a series of turns. I was front center.

My favorite sport is: I love to watch professional surfing because it is sooo sexy, but I have to say basketball too. GO EATERS!

The reality show I'd do best on is: Beauty and the Geek, because I love that show and I always think those "geeks" are adorable. I would love to learn about another person and at the same time learn more about myself, too.

If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd buy is: A beachfront house in Hawaii.

The worst date I've ever been on was: I've never really been on a horrible date, because I try not to put myself in those types of situations. If I get along with a person then anywhere we go and anything we do will be fun.
