Living away from home, the chance to win a car (used, but whatever), and a campus full of people who don't know what she did in high school… what more could she want?

She'll use her growing fan base, and whatever Intro to Psychology can teach her, to prove to the world—or at least viewers of substandard TV—that she has what it takes to win.
