Most Popular: The Game is Simple

Graham NortonBy Graham Norton
I was really looking forward to this show because I was going to meet Monica. I get most of my information from chatting with the contestants on the show but the producers give me a few facts about each one so I have somewhere to start.

Life as a Marijuana Activist

Sarah NewtonBy Sarah Newton, Age 23
I am a spiritual light - an independent, open-minded, creative woman trying to spread some southern sunshine and project positive vibrations into the universe! I was born and raised in Houston, Texas in an eccentric household that allowed me to think for myself and be the colorful individual that I am and I am sooo thankful for that! I believe in the oneness and interconnectedness of all beings on earth, but at the same time maintaining your own unique essence and staying true to yourself always.

It Pays to Be Yourself

Dayna WadeBy Dayna Wade, Age 28
Plenty of people have judged me in the past and still do to this day. When I was younger people judged me because I don't look like anyone else in my family. People still judge me because I'm a fair skinned black woman. Some people look at me and think I'm mean or stuck up, but once they get to know me realize I'm one of the most down to earth people they'll ever meet.

Most Popular: A Show That Makes a Difference

JoAnn O'LearyBy JoAnn O, Age 30
I"m currently living in Burbank, CA where I'm a single mom of an 11year old son and I work for the State of California. I grew up in a bad neighborhood in L.A. and we were kind of poor. I was the skinny kid that everyone teased throughout all my school years. I couldn't afford to go school shopping every year like most kids and we often ate beans and rice for dinner - at least 2-3 times a week because there were 7 of us in the family.

Expect the Unexpected on 'Most Popular'

Graham NortonBy Graham Norton
After the run-throughs, the walk throughs and dress rehearsals it's finally time to make the actual show. For me it is surreal to be driving in LA in the morning sunshine and pulling into my parking space on a proper studio lot. Our sound stage is just across from where they filmed the first two seasons of "I Love Lucy." I can imagine the episode where Lucy and Viv decide to take part in Most Popular. The early morning start is more than made up for by my first breakfast burrito. America is genius! The audience seem lively but will they enjoy being asked to judge seven strangers? I shouldn't have worried.

When Standing Out from the Crowd is a Disadvantage

Graham NortonBy Graham Norton
It's early on a Sunday morning and I'm dodging the route of the L.A. marathon to get to the studio, and yet the audience is packed. Our seven potential new best friends wander out, and as a group the audience decides they want nothing more to do with Orit.

The Fashion Police

Terrie RabonBy Terrie Rabon, age 26
I was born and raised in Oakland, California by my mom whom I lost to breast cancer at the age of 15 years. I have two older sisters that I grew up with and five younger siblings of my dads.

Four Husbands, But Few Regrets

Liliana MontenegroBy Liliana Montenegro
To my friends I am Lili, so call me Lili. Strange that after 50 some-odd years (shhhh), of what I consider an adventurous life, I would find myself here on WE tv!

From Being a Pig, to Riding a Hog

Molly KightBy Molly Kight, age 39
Most of my adult life was as an obese woman. Five feet tall and a woman's size 24, I peaked at 300 pounds. My first marriage failed due to finances, inability to communicate and mutual lack of attraction. I remarried a raging alcoholic, whose problem manifested after we married. The relationship lasted two years.
