“Before the show I was a real paperback-by-the-pool sort of girl. I'd backpacked through Europe and modeled in South Africa, but I would never have ventured out on a puddle-jumper, then a bus ride, then a two-hour boat trip up a river through the jungle to see Belizean ruins. I always thought, 'Hey, I'm here to chill.'”
Brooke Burke

Chris Lynch
“I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.”
