7. Jaime Paetz
Saginaw, Michigan
Homespun: “Saginaw is a town of about 100,000 people, and most of it is my family. I have cousins, aunts, and uncles everywhere…We’re like the Griswolds. But very square Griswolds.”
Heaven on Earth: “When I was modeling overseas, my favorite experience was in Hong Kong. I had eight model roommates from different countries, and we all became best friends.”
A very special girl: “‘Super Freak’ is my personal theme song. I do funny dances to it in my undies in front of the mirror.”

6. Leticia ClineCave City, Kentucky
Homespun: “My whole family are spelunkers. Cave City is a really small town, but it has the largest cave in the world. I was actually a guide there for a while. I loved cave exploring.”
An open book: “You can tell a lot about a person from their tattoos. I have six. The one on my arm says, destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. When I shake someone’s hand, it’s the first thing they see. I hope it inspires to make good decisions in life.”
Men at work: “I do backstage interviews for Spike TV’s
TNA Wrestling. Those guys really live like rock stars. They travel all over the country, go out every night, and never sleep. They’re always getting into fights at bars because everyone wants to fight a wrestler. Some punks will even pick fights with the girls, but I don’t fight. I try to annoy people until they leave.”
You had to be there: “My favorite joke is: ‘What’s the difference between ooh and aah? About three inches.’ I think I read that in
Maxim.”

5. Sharae SpearsMaynardville, Tennessee
Homespun: “Maynardville is just as hillbilly as it sounds. When I was 15, I worked at the town pizza place. I served beer, and they paid me under the table. Everything about it was illegal.”
Check the pipes: “I just signed a deal to record a country-pop album. My sound is sort of along the lines of Faith Hill. And I love singing ballads. I guess I’m kind of sappy.”
Conversation stopper: “I hate the line, ‘Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only 10 I see.’ Out-of-towners say it.”
