Megan Hauserman

Megan Hauserman (born November 5, 1981) is an American model and reality television personality, best known for her repeated appearances on VH1 including second season of Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, the first season of I Love Money, and Rock of Love: Charm School.

After becoming a fan favorite she was offered her own dating game show: Megan Wants a Millionaire.

Megan Hauserman was born November 5, 1981.

She is from Chicago, Illinois.

In the early 2000s Megan began her modeling career as a holiday show model on the Jerry Springer show while attending college at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

She has also worked as a fitness model for Benchwarmer Trading Cards from 2005 to 2010.

In February 2007, Hauserman revealed that she would spend her half of the money: "I’m going to go to Disneyland and go on vacation, and get my hair done."

However, during a phone interview in September 2008, Hauserman was asked what she had done with the Beauty and the Geek money and she said she put all of it, $125,000, towards her mortgage.

Hauserman was also a contestant on the second season of VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.

Megan said that she discovered the show from an advertisement on Craigslist: "I had just seen an ad on Craigslist and I went to an open call in Chicago at a restaurant in which the casting people were traveling all over the country and accepting videos from all over the world. And they picked me out of thousands of applicants."

She appeared on eleven of the fourteen episodes in the second season.

Megan was eliminated in the ninth episode because Michaels never felt a real "connection" with her, leaving her in fifth place.

In an interview with The Jacksonville Observer she stated, "I really was heartbroken over him (Bret Michaels) for a long time. I went on there and I did fall in love with him, but we remain friends."

Hauserman was a contestant on the first season of VH1's I Love Money, a reality show where 17 former contestants from Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, and I Love New York compete for a $250,000 cash prize.

Megan appeared on all fourteen episodes of the first season and is featured at the center of the season one poster.

On the first episode when she was asked what she would do with the money if she won the competition, she stated that she wants to help "mentally challenged" dogs, and that she adopted a mentally challenged dog, a chihuahua named Lily.

She quit the competition in the thirteenth episode (the finale) when it was revealed that she would have to face a jury of former contestants whom she had a part in eliminating.

She finished the competition in third place.

Hauserman stated in her exit interview that she was happy with her decision to quit not only because it stopped her contestants from getting the satisfaction of payback, but also that she was happy that she stopped everyone she didn't want to win the money and that she was satisfied with whoever won the money in the top three.

Hauserman also stated that she never thought that she would win the money, and that she came simply to have fun and play the game to the best of her ability.

On the I Love Money reunion special, Megan said that there were no rules opposing the way she played the game, so she used her brain to out-smart people, because it was her given talent.

Hauserman was a contestant in VH1's Rock of Love: Charm School, a reality show where 14 former Rock of Love contestants must learn to abandon their improper old ways and develop proper etiquette in order to compete for $100,000 and the title, Charm School Queen.

The show premiered October 12, 2008 and is hosted by Sharon Osbourne.

She appeared on seven of the twelve episodes, despite getting expelled in the fourth episode for kicking classmate, and later winner, Brandi Mahon.

Megan finished in tenth place.

Hauserman has filed a lawsuit against Sharon Osbourne, claiming battery, negligence and infliction of emotional distress, over an incident occurring during the taping of the twelfth episode, the reunion special, after Hauserman made derogatory comments about Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, prompting Sharon to pull out Megan's hair.

Hauserman was featured in a photoshoot for Guitar World magazine's Holiday 2009 Review Guide, along with fellow reality television contestants Brandi "Hambone" Cunningham, Destiney Sue Moore, and Kristy Joe Muller.

The magazine was on sale July 14, 2009.

Hauserman's own VH1 reality dating show, titled Megan Wants a Millionaire, premiered August 2, 2009 on VH1.

Hauserman stated in the interview that she was looking for "a mature guy that can handle me and doesn't cry" and states "He doesn't have to be rich; he has to be stable."

Hauserman said she is taking the show seriously, it will be "very real".

Hauserman's best friends, Brandi Cunningham (who appeared with Hauserman on I Love Money and Rock of Love: Charm School) and Cecille Gahr (who lost to Megan in the finale of Beauty and the Geek 3) appeared on Megan Wants a Millionaire to support her and help her with her decisions.

On August 24, 2009, VH1 announced that the show had been cancelled after airing just three episodes, because contestant Ryan Jenkins was a suspect in the murder of Jasmine Fiore.

Hauserman has been interviewed on the subject by AOL and TMZ.

She stated that the Jenkins-Fiore situation was "a very challenging time, I'm happy to move forward at this point. It's been a very upsetting, sad, tragic situation that nobody could have expected."

Megan Hauserman was also featured on the cover and inside of the magazine of the 2010 Guitar World Buyer's Guide with Daisy of Love's Daisy De La Hoya.

On February 13, 2011, the case was settled out of court with the details kept non disclose.

In 2013, Megan was the feature model for the Boca Raton-based jewelry company "Cerca Trova Fashion" and led the campaign.

Hauserman was a winning contestant on the third season of Beauty and the Geek along with her partner Alan "Scooter" Zackheim.

She appeared on all nine episodes of the third season, winning the competition.
