John Vito,
28, a Government Bond Trader, and Jill, 24, a business
consultant with Cap Gemini Ernest and Young, are both
originally from Staten Island, New York. John Vito
still lives there, but Jill currently resides in Manhattan.
They met three years ago after a group of their friends
spent many late summer nights hanging out and going
to night clubs. They have been romantically involved
for almost a year.
The tragic
events of September 11 personally and deeply affected
both John Vito and Jill. Her older brother F.T., who
was also John Vito's best friend, was working on the
105th floor of the World Trade Center as a Vice President
for Cantor Fitzgerald. Jill had applied for the show's
first installment with her brother, and after her
devastating loss she decided to reapply in tribute
to his memory. "After losing him on 9/11, I felt
I should apply for the show again, and this time,
who should be a better runner up than his best friend?"
Their motto is to live life to the fullest, and as
John Vito says, "the opportunity of traveling
the world with Jill is the greatest reward."
Jill describes
herself as spontaneous, intelligent and sensitive,
while John Vito describes himself as detail-oriented,
decisive and organized. They both love physical activities
and spending time with their family and friends. Jill
is most looking forward to leaving behind the day-to-day
routines of life, her cell phone and email. John Vito
is excited to learn about different cultures and people.
They feel
that their combination of wits and brawn will help
land them the coveted prize of $1 million. Her birth
date is November 13. His birth date is August 3.
