What’s one word that best describes you?
EXCLUSIVE
What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?
My family is the most important thing to me.
What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?
When you think you have things figured out guess again. The calmer it looks the stormy it’s going to get. People think they have friends…guess again! The bigger and better prize comes with a larger consequence.
Why did you join the Escape Club?
Working different jobs as a Nursing assistant, personal trainer, and webcam model has me a bit lost in life. It took me a while to admit that I didn’t have everything planned out. Taking a chance right now with a new direction can’t hurt. Joining the escape club should give me a chance to figure out who I am and find a path in life. Most important I need to find motivation in life again. Motivation is huge for me and would be really meaningful to find. Finding that one job and getting a place I can call home would mean the world to me!
Define sexy.
Sexy is looking hot and cute at the same time. Not many people can pull this off. Sexy is about being the amazing person on the inside and not even knowing how great you look on the outside. Being sexy of course can be when you walk into a room everyone stairs and wonders who the hell is that. What I really look for in sexiness is a woman who can turn heads with whatever she has on, has those beautiful curves everywhere and most important once they open their mouth people can’t get enough of them. I see a ton of sexy people but damn once they start talking it’s all about them and I really don’t care how HOT they are if they can’t simply just have a conversation.
Meagan Reedy
What’s one word that best describes you?
Free Spirit
What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?
I’m a tomboy at heart. I would rather be in blue jeans all day than put on makeup and dress. It’s fun every now and then to get nice that’s part of being a girl!
What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?
Fans should expect a lot of DRAMA for sure. Also I believe a lot of the viewers will be able to relate with most of the cast members. I know me personally have been through a lot with men in my life. I think that women will relate to my situation.
Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:
Screw: Lisa B’s Boobs
Marry: Ellie’s soul
Kill: make love not war (no one)
Why did you join the Escape Club?
I joined the Escape Club because I needed a break from the real world to clear my head and really figure out me. I have always ran from everything in my life and I was so sick of it. When arriving to the Escape Club I was a little out of control. It wasn’t until a reality check I realized I really had some issues and ALOT to change in my life. I was in deep hole that I wasn’t getting out of. It wasn’t until the whole experience was over that it all hit me. I did a lot of things in that house that I regret but they were all mistakes I have made in the past my real life that I needed to LEARN from. I am a firm believer in the saying “Everything Happens For a Reason” I just needed this experience to confirm that!
Define sexy:
Sexy is being yourself and ok in your own skin. Knowing that you are who you are and believing in yourself. The sexiest woman is the one who walks with her head high knowing that she can do anything that she puts your mind too.

Elly Kho
What’s one word that best describes you?
Vivacious
What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?
I’m very philosophical. And a gourmet chef, an owner of a python snake and a lover of high adrenalin activities.
What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?
Betrayal, foolishness, twists, turns and a gorgeous funny Persian girl who is a spitfire!
Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:
Screw: Myself
Mary: Meagan. She would brighten up any day!
Kill: I don’t care enough about the haters. But if a couple dropped dead, I wouldn’t blink.
Why did you join the Escape Club?
I wanted to get out of the monotony of daily life and to feel the way I did when I traveled the world by myself. That sense of wonder, enlightenment and self-exploration is what made me grow so much as a person and as you get older, responsibilities can kill your creativity. I needed a fresh new perspective to solidify my decision to switch careers and how to take on my 30’s by the balls!
I have always always done the sensible thing. Go to school, get a good job, save money, start a family, act like a lady, etc. My dad taught me to work hard…all the time. Even when I traveled to Australia, Europe and Hawaii it was always for school. When I traveled to NYC or the Bahamas it was for work. I have never dropped everything and took off on a trip especially when I had so much going on in my life. I gave up a prestigious high-paying position and payed $15,000 to learn cosmetology only to find I’m in class with people who don’t have the same opportunities and education as me. Also planning a wedding is hard to be excited about when my career is doing a 180. All the doubts get to me and I truly feel like I need to get away from myself to gain insight and create specific goals and stop questioning my decision! The end of my 20’s is not as fun as I thought it would be. All my friends are dropping off, getting married, broke or plain boring. When did life become all about responsibilities???!! Ew.
Define sexy:
I’m extremely picky. I think someone who is a bit shy, mysterious, entrepreneurial, driven, intellectual, a little sarcastic, disciplined, generous, chiseled, funny, sweet and well groomed is sexy. James Bond type minus any douche. I can’t stand arrogant men. Yuck!
Donny Ghilardi
What’s one word that best describes you?
Passionate, I put forth my full effort when I am passionate about something and there is nothing that will stop me once I put my mind to it.
What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?
Well I get prejudged a lot because I am a big guy and people automatically think I am an arrogant tough guy. In reality I am an educated individual with a big heart that loves to laugh.
What should E! fans expect from Escape Club?
Man, this show has it all. One minute you think you know someone and then everything changes. It is going to be very entertaining. This show is absolutely crazy. Sit back and enjoy.
Let’s play screw, marry, kill: Out of the 11 other cast members who would you:
Screw: Lisa B, little dark haired Italian just my style.
Marry: Lisa T, she is the sweetest girl and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. I can see myself coming home from work with my dinner made and laundry folded.
Kill: Elly, this girl just doesn’t get it. She has no filter, doesn’t know when to keep her mouth shut, and doesn’t learn from her mistakes.
Why did you join the Escape Club?
I joined in order to get away from my life. I wanted time to live stress free and really concentrate on myself and what I want to do with my life. I wanted a chance away from my job, friends, family to really reflect on Donny. Boy was I wrong, the stress just came in a different form.
Define sexy:
I think sexy is far more than looks. Sexy is when a girl is confident in herself and can portray that to others. Everyone has flaws, but someone who is proud of who they are and not afraid to let their flaws show.
