Best Experience – The donkey ride. I really got to know people during that "pleasurable" 4-hour ride in 114 degree weather. I bonded majorly with several people

Worst Experience – The donkey ride. I was sick with a 102 degree fever that day and I was going off of 2 hours of sleep from the night before. I had practically no energy, and at times I didn’t even think I’d make it to the beach. I must say, if it hadn’t been for Tyler’s random comments, I would never have gotten through it. Oh yeah… leaving the first day wasn’t exactly my favorite, either.

Best Friend(s) on the Show: Maryelle, Jacquelynn, Mike, Trey

Best Friend(s) Now: Mike

Did you have a crush on the show: J.D. Roth!… naw…j/k. I had a thing for Phil for like an hour (LOL), but then I found out he was my brother’s age

Who Do you miss most?—Mike

Who did you want to win?— Green or Purple team

Who have you seen since the show?—Jeff, Annie, Mike, Keetin, Calley, Jenna, Trey, Glen, Abbey, Christa, Phil

Biggest Surprise – How close all 20 of us got on day one. Its amazing how much people can bond within 24 hours if they have nobody else to turn to.

What Simone Learned – "Live the moment" cuz you never know when the future will hit you hard. Oh yeah, playing tackle football with an old shoe doesn’t work too well.

Advice for Future Players – Be yourself and as genuine and sincere as possible. Nobody likes a phony, and half the game depends on whether people like you or not.

What she does when she's not doing anything – Practice singing and ballet, and I have about a bajillion art projects I’m working on right now.

Greatest Influence – The Bible. All my values are based on my faith, but I guess my friends make me who I am as well.

Career Plans – Performing arts (hopefully something on Broadway), or Journalism

What was the hardest thing? – The donkey ride because I had the smallest one and it was impossibly hard just to get it to move.

Fun Fact #1—On day one, many of the cast members mistook her for the younger sibling of someone else instead of a contestant because of her smallness. They were shocked when they found out it was her they would be playing the game with.

Fun Fact #2—Simone and Mike have plans to go to the Junior Prom together
