4. Big Dreams

She grew up in Park City, Utah, but always dreamed of moving to Hollywood and becoming an actress and a model. She got a job at SUR to pay her bills and then became a reality star, but it wasn’t part of her plan! “Oh my gosh, I never thought that I would do a reality TV show,” she told The Salt Lake Tribune. “I didn’t want to for a long time because there was stigma attached to reality TV that I didn’t want to involve myself in, so I caught myself by surprise by getting involved.”

The reality starlet is pretty low maintenance. She only washes her hair once a week. According to her, “that’s what dry shampoos are made for!”
