Sheree was one of the 3 dark haired beauties who wasn’t well received by the other ladies at times. This 25 year old Florida resident definitely didn’t come off as intellectually challenged. Therefore, she stood out for better reasons than simply being one of the “brunettes”.

J: Hi Sheree, thank you for talking with me today.
S: Thank you for having me.
J: What made you want to be a part of the show?
S: I live down by Miami and I go to auditions for all kinds of things from commercials to pilots. I went to this audition and they had me send more tapes in. Then I never heard from them…that was for season 2. For season 3, the same casting people called and said they would be in Miami and that they liked me last year but I didn’t fit for that cast. It made me feel good that they called so I definitely went.
J: What was up with your title “former Hooters girl”? Was that the only “intelligence discredit” that was found to label you?
S: I am sure it was a way to discredit my intelligence. But they asked me before they did it (if they could put “Hooters waitress). I said “No, because I am not a Hooters waitress, but you can put “former Hooters waitress”. The thing is that I actually appreciate Hooters. I thought it was one step up from a strip club. The location in Orlando was a great location. From the management, staff, cooks and clientele; everybody was awesome. I made good money through college. It was a good job at the time.
J: It appeared that you and Andrea were the only two beauties with your game faces on and who were not portrayed as ditzy dumb girls.
S: That’s the one thing that I learned. Although we had our game faces on, we would have been better off being undercover and acting like ditzes.
J: Do you think the blondes are truly ditzy or just playing the game?
S: When we first met in a legal meeting, all of the girls had intelligent questions to ask. At that moment I was surprised thinking that the show would be made up of unintelligent girls. But as I watch the show, I thought Cecille was really smart…but she is saying these silly things on her challenges. I am thinking now that I gave her too much credit.
J: The scene of you and Piao bickering at the end of the show was hilarious. Did that represent your relationship as teammates?
S: You have no idea. Yes, yes, yes. If I would have gone to school with Piao, I would have been like, “oh he is such a funny little guy and that would have been that”. But because of the situation, I needed determination and discipline - and leave the jokes at the door. He started getting on my nerves and he wouldn’t listen to me when I would try to help him with social skills, comedy routine or thinking outside of the box with certain situations. We started clashing a little bit.
One night he did a funny thing. We all had been watching the movie but I was tired so I went to bed one night. He came in later and asked me questions and I told him I was sleeping. He left the room and accidentally pulls the door shut behind him. The floors are tile and the house is antique, so the door didn’t work like typical doors. The door locked behind him and he thinks I locked him out. The next morning someone told me I was wrong for locking him out and that Piao told them that we had a lover’s quarrel. There was always something.

Teammates, Sheree and Piao

J: Are you and Piao cordial or still in contact?
S: I think Piao thinks that I hate him but I really don’t. It’s done and there is nothing that I can do about it. I am disappointed that he didn’t try harder and won’t admit it. But at the end of the day I do like Piao. I think we went through an opportunity together with a bunch of other great people and it’s a memory that we will always share.
J: Was the blonde vs. brunette battle overrated or real?
S: It was real. It wasn’t really blonde vs. brunette, although that was the easiest way to put it. It was just that it came down to Andrea was very outspoken. Cecille and Nate won challenges and people wanted to be nice to Cecille so she wouldn’t put them up for elimination. But Cecille’s thinking was a little different than a lot of the girls. It was like, Gucci, Prada, money, money, boys, boys, naked, naked. So that became the aura of the girls. Andrea was like, I don’t care what show I am on; I am not going to act like I am interested in what you are saying because I am not. With me being with Andrea, I asked her to chill out. Andrea did try to hang out with them a little bit, but they didn’t give her the benefit of anything. Then my little guilt of association, I caught the wrath. So I went up for elimination. You’re in this house, you’re cut off from the inside world. No music, radio, TV, phone, Internet. You get very immersed in your world.
J: A lot of the girls seemed to forget it’s a game and that the goal is to win money. Nadia was freaking out on whether to put you and Andrea or her blonde buddies up for elimination. Obviously she experienced peer pressure and put the brunettes up.
S: I was mad. They didn’t show me talking to Nadia. I told her that I knew she was a good girl with a good heart. She’s not someone who’s caught up on money, she’s only had a couple boyfriends and she’s really a sweet girl. I told her that I knew she was kind of caught up but she was someone I would be comfortable being with in the house. I wanted her to know that I didn’t put her up for a reason and hopefully that favor would be returned. Mario even said that he hoped she wouldn’t fall for the peer pressure but then he did. I was mad at both of them. That is why she wound up crying because she knew we had that conversation and she felt bad.
J: I was proud of you and Andrea for killin’ it in the elimination round. Did you plan that or study together?
S: Since Piao wasn’t studying very much Andrea was my study buddy. Matt quizzed us both. That’s why it sucked going up against her because we knew the same things. I knew it would come down to the guys. Looking back I should have sucked up my little anger towards Piao and made him study. But when he is downstairs playing chess and Matt is upstairs studying with us…Matt obviously had the upper hand.
J: Unfortunately for you, Piao didn’t have money signs in his eyes.
S: As an accountant, he is very a monetary realist. The difference between us is that he is happy with his day job and will do the same thing until he retires. At the time I was trying to reach a dream. I was trying to work non-full time jobs so that I could go to auditions. To me, the money would have helped me be able to invest in myself and do something for myself. He saw it more as fun.
J: What do you take from this experience?
S: It was a lot of fun. Although I say things like; Cee-Cee was catty, if I saw her today I would give her a big hug. It’s the same thing with Piao. It’s something that we all went through together. It was a lot of fun. There is no cutting anybody out of that memory. I just hope that something good comes out of it for myself in the long run.
J: What are your plans from here on?
S: I do business development for an event production company. It’s sales and it’s cool but it’s not making me rich. I want to be able to market myself and find an agent or manager. I want to find someone who can steer me in the right direction so that I can ultimately have a job that I love and make good money doing it.
J: Right on, I wish you the best of luck with that. Do you have any last words or shout outs?
S: I still haven’t talked to Andrea. I can’t find her! But all I can say is to keep watching the show. There are a lot of interesting things to come. So check it out!
J: Thanks Sheree!
