I was checking out a BuddyTV slideshow of the contestants on Survivor Tocantins and one of them stood out. It was model Sierra Reed. Sure, any model on a reality tv show would stand out to me (see my Biggest Loser Models post and Erica Ellyson on Momma’s Boys).  However, the fact that Sierra Reed was a model wasn’t what shocked me.  What shocked me was the description and quotes that BuddyTV posted about Sierra Reed.  Take a look:

The 23-year-old is a model from Los Angeles, California. She didn’t have to try out for Survivor, claiming that producers approached her with an offer. She also claims to not need the million-dollar prize. “Money comes and goes,” she said. “If I’d saved when I was just starting out, I’d be a multimillionaire by now.”

Wow!!  Sierra Reed must be a complete nut job.  Everyone can enjoy a cool million dollar prize.  It’s nice that she has confidence in herself, but modeling is only going to last her so long.  She might want to start saving some of that money.  This is good news for the show.  I love whack jobs who truely believe the craziest things.  Sierra Reed should provide a really good storyline for fans of Survivor.

I must admit that i usually hate to watch the various specials about the awards shows. However, tonight I think that Katie Couric did a nice job with the special. Maybe the difference was the choice of stars she had on the show. Maybe it was Katie’s ability to be totally relaxed and natural with all of these stars. Whatever it was, I really enjoyed it.

Check out this video preview of the Katie Couric Grammy special to see what I mean:
