February 9, 2009: Andy Dehnart of Reality
Blurred blogging fame posts a
late pre-game interview with Sierra.
Among the highlights:
"Sierra does not watch Survivor and was recruited
three weeks before production began while eating tacos with
a friend on Sunset Blvd. Emily from casting came up to her
and said, 'You’re
really cute. You’d be awesome for Survivor,'
which strikes me as exactly the kind of recruiting that does
not produce a character like Yau-Man, but I digress. Sierra
told me she went to the interviews for 'fun' and to 'see
how far you can go,' and said that soon, she was so far
along in the process, 'I couldn’t even say no.' Later,
she said she 'took charge of it' and then started
preparing."
January, 2009: CBS gets around to putting
up S18 content:
"Sierra Reed wants to make it clear right off the
bat that she has the ability to find her place in any
situation, anywhere in the world, through her perseverance
and strength. Despite the fact that she is strong-willed
and determined, she is one who will wear her heart
on her sleeve. Not intimidated by age, ('I'm 25
and if you're 45 that's great, but if we have differences,
I'm going to let you know'), Reed will speak her
mind, yet she does it with purpose and passion. She
hopes that her tenacity will balance out her 'strong
nature.'
This fashion student and model is
no stranger to roughing it. After moving to Taiwan
by herself at a very young age, Sierra is used to living
in places with no running water and filled with grime
and bugs. Sierra is a self-proclaimed adventure junkie
who 'loves
to experience new things all the time' and she
believes that those experiences make her a prime candidate
for Survivor.
Sierra
claims she isn't a 'very stereotypical
model,' because she doesn't do it for the notoriety;
she does it because modeling can help facilitate new
experiences and allows for travel to amazing locations
which is something she enjoys tremendously.
Her modeling
background has helped to shape her strategy for the
game. Forced to deal with a variety of personalities
all competing for the same goal is nothing new to her,
having lived with five catty models vying for one spot.
This experience will be to her advantage when forming
alliances and making her way through the twists of
the game.
Sierra is single and currently resides in
Los Angeles, Calif. Her birth date is September 29."
