While Ashley was captain of both the soccer team and the cheerleading squad in high school, she says she had a hard time socially. She believes the other girls envied her for her beauty. But since high school, being beautiful has made life very easy for Ashley. She is prepared for any question thrown at her, most likely due to her pageant background (Ashley was runner up in the Miss Teen NY pageant). Ashley admits that her true intentions are often hidden by her sweet smile. People may think she is a "spoiled brat" but Ashley claims that only "half of that" is true. Despite her appearance, Ashley says she only goes to the gym 5 times a year. Billy Jeffrey Age: 31 Occupation: Entrepreneur/Dancer Hometown: Lewiston, ID Billy Jeffrey is a guy with two very different jobs. When he's not running his vitamin shop franchise in Idaho he performs as a Chippendale's dancer in Las Vegas. While he admits that he was teased growing up, he never let that affect his self-confidence. His friends say that he is a "workaholic who is too intense and high maintenance." He does not have a lot of long-term romantic relationships. But Billy claims that's because women don't understand how driven he is. He says nothing can stop him from achieving his goals. He considers himself a leader, and marches to the beat of his own drum. Billy does not want to be on the show to make friends; only to win. Chelsea Bush Age: 21 Occupation: Model/Artist Hometown: Brentwood, TN Chelsea Bush is a southern belle with a spicy personality. She grew up with a Christian background, but at the age of 18 decided to break out on her own and move to Nashville, TN. In high school she competed in many beauty pageants and always found herself getting into arguments with the other girls because they were jealous of her. When most people meet Chelsea they would probably classify her as a sweet girl, but she admits that isn't true. She claims to have a bitchy side that comes out if she feels disrespected. Chelsea is constantly stared at every time she goes out, and hears girls talk about her all the time -- she cannot stand insecure girls. Chelsea is not emotional at all and the last time she cried was over a year ago at her Grandmother's funeral. She is very competitive and will do whatever it takes to win. CJ Miller Age: 26 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Occupation: Barista While most people will be struck by CJ's chiseled features, after talking with him they see that he's also very intelligent and charming. CJ knows what he's working with and has a lot hiding behind his smile. He often uses his looks to convince women to pay for anything from drinks to his car insurance. CJ claims that women see him as a trophy so he accepts items as a payment for his services. He's come a long way from childhood, when he says he was overweight and his mom called him "porkchop." CJ currently works as an "all-star" barista but his real passion is writing. He writes books on relationships for women and claims to have done quite a bit of personal research on the matter. CJ is a very competitive person and is someone who will fight for what he believes he deserves. Cocky to the core, it takes a lot to shake him. Hadiyyah-lah Sa'id Age: 23 Occupation: Receptionist/Audio Engineer Hometown: Minneapolis, MN Hadiyyah-lah Sa'id is a confident girl - she rates herself a 20 out of 10. Hadiyyah-Lah loves to play basketball and watch boxing and she says her dream job would be to own a recording studio and travel all over. Haddiyyah-lah is very positive and outgoing and compares herself to the late R&B singer Aaliyah. Haddiyyah-lah says she can get along with everyone no matter what, even if it's fake. She admits to holding grudges with friends because she knows they envy her. Hadiyyah-lah says she is single because men can't handle her beauty and it intimidates them. However, she is ready to be taken seriously and have a relationship. She believes her best qualities are her hair, her voice and her clothes and says she is truly blessed with good looks.

Living in Tampa, Joel is a wild party-guy who confessed he married his wife because she is "as hot as me, so she can relate to what I go through." Joel says he already acts like a celebrity so it is only a matter of time before he is truly famous. Though he leads a fairly humdrum life, he is anything but boring. Cocky as hell, he knows he looks good and insists on surrounding himself with only the hottest people. The self-proclaimed "Crown Prince of Cool" says his workout regiment is all about "looking great naked." Joel has a heart and will tear up if you ask him about his grandpa, but that sentimental side is a rare sight for the guy who is the loudest, most conceited man at any party. Julia Anderson Age: 23 Occupation: Dancer/Performer/Magician's Assistant Hometown: Dallas, TX Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Julia Anderson is a former pageant winner who earned the titles of Miss Teen Texas in 2002 and Miss Grapevine in 2008. Julia is part American Indian and loves to take care of herself inside and out. She finds that while her tan comes easy, she must get eyelash extensions every two weeks. Julia has just the right answer for every question and while she admits to being a hypocrite at times, she insists it is a quality not a weakness. Julia is a very good manipulator and should not to be underestimated. She is convinced that America will love her. Laura Leigh Age: 21 Occupation: Model Hometown: Staten Island, NY Laura Leigh is a model and nursing student from Staten Island, NY. She loves the spotlight and is proud to call herself a drama queen. Laura is obsessed with her appearance so much that when getting dressed, she tries on several outfits and does shimmy-shakes and booty-drops to see how her body looks when she moves. She gets whistles and honks every day, but usually just rolls her eyes at it. In general, Laura likes men more than women because women are always jealous of her. Laura loves to instigate drama and enjoys stirring the pot - chances are she will be at the root of every fight. Laura is a survivalist and says she will squash out every contestant to achieve her goal...winning the game. She even admits that she would sell out her best friend for a million dollars, "You can always get new friends, especially with money." Monique Santiago Age: 21 Occupation: Go Go Dancer Hometown: New York, NY Monique Santiago, a go-go dancer from Manhattan, is definitely one of a kind. She has a "smokin' hot bod" and insists that she doesn't have to really do much to keep fit (firm by "genetic default"). An avid reader of National Geographic and Scientific America, she is a dangerous combination of intelligence and beauty. A cool chick with a tough girl attitude, Monique prefers to hangout with guys because "girls are just too catty." When pushed, Monique would not have a problem putting someone in their place. Ray Seitz Age: 29 Occupation: Artist Hometown: San Diego, CA Ray Sietz was born in Kentucky and graduated from CalPoly with an engineering degree. Upon graduating, Ray spent a year in Hawaii surfing and decided to leave the engineering world behind and become an artist. He is very intelligent and knows he's good looking. When people tell him he's beautiful, his first reaction is that they want something from him and as a result he is often insensitive to other people. Ray can be very pretentious, narcissistic, and extremely competitive. Money is very important to him and he feels that everything you do should have a monetary reason. Ray is very opinionated and if you give him a chance to talk, he'll take the opportunity to manipulate you.

Best chance at being interesting is by far Ray Seitz. Much love to anyone who can work his butt off to get a engineering degree that could actually be of some use to society but then go surfing one day and then deciding to spend his whole life "being a artist and manipulating people for fun" Gotta love that.

Ray & CJ look good in their pics, but as soon as I read their little bios, now all I see are ugly douchebags. The only girl who I would consider "pretty" is Laura. The rest of them are fug, especially the one with the lazy eyes. That being said, this show has epic trashtastic potential. I sure hope they taped 3-4 seasons/cycles back to back to back, because once the show airs, there is no way another season will be good, because everyone will know the game.

I saw Julia snuggling up to an older person in one of the photo shoots. And looks like they watch the reaction when their server falls on his ass in front of them. At the end of the advert you see Hymenhadit-lala (or whatever the fuck her name is) saying: "There's alotta hate goin' on when you're beautiful" Classic!

Nah, I think Howdoya-lay will last for the sound bites. I think by the preview it might be Jo-hole. (I apologize for the names, but it is just so much fun to mock anything about these self absorbed dildos) Again, I do like the premise of the show, because people can be all sorts of good looking and body hot, but beauty and being beautiful is definitely the whole package.

I began by slinging coffee at a kiosk in a shopping mall over ten years ago. Since then I have been working in cafes in the Mid Atlantic region as well as in north Florida. The coffee business is dynamic, the more time I spend educating myself and sharpening my skills as a barista, the more I discover there is still much to learn. This is both exciting and humbling. I have competed the local free pour Latte art competitions making it to the finals in 2002. I received the Zen Master award in 2006 for creative drink recipes. I currently work at Caffe Pronto in Annapolis, Md. as a Retail Manager and Barista trainer. Kelvin Huang - Ultimate Barista China 2007 - 2008 After graduated from University in 2002, I started my career as a sales manager at JASCAFFE China, working on sales of Coffee-making instrument and the coffee beans. In 2003, the first ever China Barista Championship was held in China, I took a part in out of curiosity, and unexpectedly, I won the Second Place. Since then my view to coffee has been changed. I started to learn about all theories and knowledge on coffee-making through all kinds of books, exhibitions etc. And finally I became the Champion in the China National Barista Championship 2005, and also participated in the International Barista Championship in Seattle, WA USA 2005. This journey has very much inspired me, helped me understand more about the trend of development on international coffee market. When I got back to China, I went on with the coffee sales work and became Barista Consultant to a few coffee shops. And in 2006, I competed in the T&C World Cup Asia Latte Art Championship in Shanghai 2006 and won a second Championship of my life. Right now I'm working on opening a BARISTA Coffee Training School which will formally start soon. My goal on this field is to give all cafes in China their best coffee makers they need, and ensure each single coffee consumer enjoys a cup of perfect coffee. I am also involved with E-Best Coffee at the Service Shanghai Service Co., Ltd. Kyoung woo Kim Team CIIC (Caffe Italiano in Corea) Dynamic Trading Co, Ltd. Former Bartender 2007 UBC Korea Champion - Espresso Cocktail Challenge 2008 Guest Ultimate Barista / UBC Korea for the Espresso Cocktail & Espresso Frappe Showcase event in New York City at the International Restaurant & Foodservice Show of New York Mike Love Coffee Labs Roasters in Tarrytown, New York Owner & Roaster UBC Professional Barista 2007 - 2008 2008 UBC Champion - Latte Art Challenge New York City Former Chef for 15 years. I train all of my Baristi. I take great pride in the fostering the passion of the craft and skill. It also gives me a place to show off the passion I have as an Owner, Roaster, Barista. As an owner I have to know what makes everything tick in my shop. As a roaster the pursuit of quality coffee is my passion, always searching out the best beans, As a Barista I'm able to extract all of these attributes behind the bar. Enabling me to truly express the artistry in the specialty coffee industry. Therefor I feel that my skills as a Barista are more than worthy enough to challenge the Ultimate Baristi. The opportunity to participate in this event is an honor. As well as the importance to bring my staff and customers a win.
