Here is a photo gallery of Brittany in action, and here is SI.com's Cheerleader of the Week archive.

I love my school, but I almost went to: The University of Florida, although I have always been a Demon Deacon at heart!

My best physical feature is: My blue-green eyes.

If I had to watch one movie on loop forever, it would be:Pretty Woman. It's the perfect classic romantic comedy.

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of:Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, and everything in between!

The shows I DVR/TiVo are:Gossip Girl and So You Think You Can Dance

My favorite Web Sites are: Facebook and Bloomingdales. Chatting and online shopping are great ways to procrastinate!

My favorite people to follow on Twitter are: Thankfully I haven't gotten sucked into Twitter.

My worst habit is: My addiction to caffeine! I can't start the day without a cup of coffee.

My gameday superstitions are: I won't let my stunt partner call "touchdown" when we are about to score. He always seems to jinx the play!

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is: Being able to SLAM DUNK! (Which is sort of challenging for someone 5 feet tall.)

These three things top my bucket list: Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, snowboarding down the Swiss Alps, and sailing around the Greek Islands.

I'd want my last meal to be: Sushi from Pacific Rim, this great Japanese Thai fusion restaurant back home.

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: Winning the "Best Lips" Contest at a 2009 Women's Basketball game benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I had to pucker up in front of the entire coliseum and kiss Naz-T-Deac (an unofficial mascot that dances during time-outs).

Three things I'd take to a desert island are: Water, a swimsuit, and a boat to leave when I wanted to.

My favorite pro sports teams are: Being from Florida, I'm a Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rays, and Lightning fan.

My one guilty pleasure is: Sour Patch Kids. Gummy Bears are a close second.

My celebrity crush is:Chace Crawford. He has beautiful eyes AND a great smile.

Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are:Barack Obama, Mahatma Gandhi, Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, and Audrey Hepburn.

My friends would be surprised to know that I: Started my own business making and selling hair accessories.

The next risk I want to take is: Studying abroad in Australia.

The worst date I've ever been on was: When I went out with an "Olympic hopeful" swimmer. He made the false assumption that I knew everything about the sport of swimming.
