Somewhere in a top secret location near Burbank California is the famous CBS reality TV set housing the current cast of Big Brother 11.

One of the remaining six competitors, fiercely playing for the $500,000 final prize, is brilliant resident neuroscientist, Michele Noonan. 

The 2008 graduate of the prestigious University of Texas Medical Center at Dallas (UT Southwestern) spent almost five years living in the North Dallas area before relocating to the suburbs of Los Angeles upon graduation.

Besides have a PhD, Michele is unique in many ways. Big Brother (BB) executive producer Allison Grodner acknowledged Michele is "the first official nerdy woman" the wildly popular reality show "has ever had in the cast" in its eleven season history.

Although Michele was initially assigned along with two other brainiacs to Big Brother 11's Brains Clique, she immediately eclipsed her teammates with her rapidly firing neurons and was soon labeled the "Rat Queen" by other players such as Russell Kairouz.

After directing her brainpower into winning two Power of Veto (PoV) contests and a Head of Household  (HoH) key, Michele relaxed and showed the viewers her softer side.

To the surprise of many, the nerdy female scientist revealed she is a girly girl at heart lusting after hot bubble baths in the HoH bedroom while scheduling time to paint her finger and toe nails with the latest edgy fashion colors.

As the Big Brother game continued to unfold the BB players revealed their true personalities as well as their various game plans. In the meantime, Michele channeled Sleeping Beauty slowly unveiling her hidden beauty IQ.

Although Michele's wardrobe has been limited to what she initially brought to the Big Brother house, she constantly accessorizes with frilly gold dangling earrings along with sassy belts.

Many women, nerds or not, locked up for months in a reality TV house might be tempted to skimp on their regular beauty routines. Not this brilliant female brainiac.

As Big Brother fans watched in real time, the cinnamon haired beauty claimed time every day in front of the community mirrors, grooming her carefully manicured brows and applying skillfully layered eye make-up.  The science nerd then deftly applied soft shimmering foundation bases, strategic blushes and painted in a series of soft natural lip colors.

Not one to wallow in the extreme limitations of the BB house Michele eagerly embraced the opportunity to improve her entire appearance while under lock and key. She alternated working on developing a beautiful healthy tan with sculpting her pre-Big Brother physique.

Refusing to succumb to excessive sleep schedules, she pushed herself to get up every day and do laps around the backyard track. Michele walked, ran and then did a series of body building yoga poses she alternated with light weights, old fashioned leg lifts and crunches.

When assigned to the BB's "Have Not" slop meals she eagerly used the high protein food plan to work on her weight. Her dedication to the mandatory gruel based diet resulted in her losing a very flattering, yet healthy, 16 pounds, in a matter of six weeks.

The brainy female slowly, but steadily, evolved from a lab coat wearing scientist into a stunning California bronzed bikini clad beauty. Michele ditched her black rimmed dork style glasses and greasy slicked back strands for a series of soft shimmering beach babe ponies and soft blue tinted contacts.

The scientist ultimately transformed into a beautiful swan. Even more impressive, she did it in real time TV in front of the watchful eyes of millions of fans and viewers around the world.  I am a huge fan of this amazing competitor.

Whether Michele Noonan takes home the Big Brother bag of cash or not, she has won a much more valuable prize. The sleeping beauty buried inside this brilliant young lady has been finally set free.
