There are still personalities that you bond with or a fighting spirit that you connect with, but as a host you have to stay impartial and root for all of them.

I love being a single mom. But it's definitely different when you're dating.

To help my muscles rebuild after I work out, I have a small serving of cottage cheese.

I want to help others 'think first' before diving into a pool or lake to prevent these types of life-changing accidents. I know I'm in a very fortunate minority and hope my story inspires both adults and children to be more careful.

I swim all the time at night - I've always been a water girl. It's a black-bottom pool and my pool light was out, and as I've done a thousand times I just kind of did a little seal dive. I saw a huge bright light and I literally thought, That's it.

Ive been a swimmer and a diver for quite a while. It was something that I think I got too comfortable with, and I dove into my black-bottomed pool and hit the slope from the shallow end to the deep end. And I had a chin to chest paralyzing break.

Beautiful things like nature inspire me. Sunrise is my favorite time of the day. A sky full of stars can be very inspiring. Quiet moments where you're alone with yourself and the beauty, nature, and majesty that God has created. That is pretty inspiring.

I am so happy, so in love, and so content.

I broke my neck, it's a classic neck break from chin to chest. If I had been alone, I would probably be dead.

I’m a Southern girl. I like when they open the door and pull out a chair. I’m really into a man’s man.

Not being able to dance anymore [was the hardest obstacle]. But, at the same time, I feel like that was one of the very first things that did give me that opportunity to say, Are you gonna crumble here? Or maybe God has another destiny for your life and it's a different road than what you think it is?

When you choose to overcome something that could paralyze people, you have the choice to either let that happen or use that as a stepping-stone to something new and different in the future.
