Cast
Lisa Shannon,
25, was born and raised in the suburbs outside Detroit.
Her father is a commercial pilot and her mother is an administrative
assistant for a financial advisor. She is the oldest of
four siblings, sister Erin, 21, and two brothers, Patrick,
23, and Brian, 19. Growing up in a large, close-knit family,
Lisa counts spending quality time with them and her many
friends as her favorite things to do.
Lisa was discovered
when she applied to be on CBS' "Survivor."
Lisa went to
school at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and now lives
with her grandmother in Bloomfield Hills. She graduated
from Oakland University in Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in journalism. She works as a copywriter at the advertising
firm Campbell-Ewald Advertising. There, she writes, produces
and casts her own commercials for Chevrolet.
Lisa is most
attracted to a man with intelligence and a sense of humor,
someone who can keep up with her active lifestyle. The qualities
that are least attractive to her are lack of ambition--personally
and professionally--as well as a fear of commitment. Her
ideal man is someone who is trustworthy, honest, driven,
genuine, secure and confident, but not arrogant. He needs
to be a great listener, but, most importantly, someone who
makes her laugh.
Although her
career has always been a top priority, Lisa ultimately wants
to marry her best friend and raise a large, close-knit family
like her own.
Simon Cowell
of American Idol is a producer for Cupid. Simon said they
audition hundreds of women for "Cupid," but most
saw the show as a launching pad for their acting career.
Simon said that Shannon is sincere about meeting a life-partner
so that is why she was chosen for the show.
