 January
12, 2007: Rita's official bio, from the CBS
S14 site...
"Born in Venezuela, Rita Verreos moved to San Francisco when
she was eight years old. She attended the University of California,
Berkeley, before transferring to the University of California,
Los Angeles. She graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor's
Degree in Italian and French Literature.
Verreos has traveled
extensively through Central and South America, the Caribbean
and Europe. After college, she moved to Mexico City where
she lived for 11 years with her then husband and two children.
She was a contestant in the Miss Venezuela pageant and walked
the fashion runways of Venezuela, Mexico and Los Angeles.
In 1990, she appeared in the film 'Marked
for Death.'
In 2003, Verreos moved to Texas with her
two children. She currently juggles being a single mom with
working part-time on her business as an image consultant
who specializes in coaching girls for the Miss Texas, Miss
California and Miss USA Pageants. She is also a television
spokesperson for a local supermarket chain in San Antonio
and Austin, Texas.
Verreos
enjoys playing with her children, cooking, listening to "world" music,
reading and writing in foreign languages. She also enjoys
playing basketball, football and walking. She describes herself
as persistent, tough on the outside…tender on the
inside, considerate and respectful.
Verreos currently resides
in San Antonio, Texas, with her children, her parents, and
their golden retriever, Blackie. Her birth date is July 19,
1968."

December
17, 2006: Jeff Probst's voiceover from the Survivor:
Fiji preview (replete with actual contestant photos,
as far as we know) that aired during the Survivor:
Cook Islands reunion show:
"Coming in the new year... Survivor turns
the tables on two tribes, as one lives the life of luxury,
while the other is left with virtually nothing. For the first
time, there will be 19 new Survivors. This
diverse cast, with lifestyles ranging from a Harvard-educated
lawyer to a once-homeless street performer, will be
forced to battle each other more fiercely than ever before.
Crawling with thousands of deadly sea snakes, Exile Island
will be more treacherous than ever. This time, two
immunity idols and a twist will drastically complicate the
game. And one of the most controversial decisions ever
made by a Survivor will have America talking. Who will outwit,
outplay and outlast all the others? Join us next time, for
the premiere of Survivor: Fiji."

December
16, 2006: Post from the blog of her brother, Nick Verreos (himself
a reality show contestant, on the second season of Bravo's
Project Runway), about the Miss USA pageant:
"It was also nail-biting for another reason. It just happens
to be that my sister, Rita Verreos, (on
the left, in a red top) herself a former "Miss Venezuela" contestant,
is a pageant coach, who actually trained Tamiko Nash, "Miss California " to
prepare for the "Miss USA" contest. Tamiko went on
to become First Runner Up, and two days ago was awaiting word
of whether or not she would have to get on a plane to New York
City."
