Hardworking, creative and intelligent, Michele is most proud of earning her Ph.D. in Neuroscience. It's a tool that could help her enter the BIG BROTHER house with an edge over the competition. She's a neuroscientist who has extensively studied the mind and is sure she can spot a lie a mile away. Michele's motto in life is "don’t sweat the small stuff," which is something she needs to continually remind herself. In the past, she’s had a tough time controlling her emotions and was often extremely stressed, but she was able to overcome her issues and get back on track. She described herself as a news-junkie and is not sure how she’ll cope without the Internet, but is sure her fellow Houseguests will provide hours of entertainment. Michele is a self-proclaimed nerd and former band geek who is always the smartest person in the room. She used to get beat up in school for being too smart and is now ready to get revenge for all the smart kids. Michele's strategy going into the game is to try to win challenges without actually dominating the competitions. She figures that will help her stay under the radar, while her people skills will her keep her a favorite in the house. Michele was born and raised in Iselin, New Jersey. She has been married for three years. Her birth date is June 16, 1982.

Not so sure her PHD will be that helpful. I hope she doesn't start out by telling her housemates that she's usually the smartest person in the room. I hope I get a better vibe from her on the show than from her bio.

Took me a while to figure her out...but I think she'll be the female 'Roddy'. Seems like a smart cookie, but Lilfair, you have a point there, with her possibly blowing it by tossing around that PHD!

After reading her bio all I can think of is she would be perfect on the "big Bang Theory" show.

Toolhound — if Michele were to go on Big Bang Theory she might end up becoming Sheldon’s main squeeze! LOL

Well, if there's a target-based competition she's in, I know what the other HG's will say... "Noonan! Miss it, Noonan! NNNNNNooooonan!" (Caddyshack reference for those who don't know)

female Roddy...I like that assessment and concur. I don't think she will find her PHD much use in the house....scheming and backstabbing require no degree to excel in. She does not sound like she has thecharm em and lie to their face and stab em in the back mentality of Dr. Will. She had better be good at comps or be a float vote.

During the introduction on The Early Show, Michelle talked about controlling variables and predicting outcomes. If she has watched the feeds...and not just the television show...she might go a very long way. I'm hoping she really does know what she's doing. I might enjoy her gameplay.

I actually think her Ph.D. will greatly help her. she should have the skills to read others, recognize lying, and strategize ways around people's schemes. I just hope she's smart enough not to tell anyone she has the degree.

I would have thought that a neuroscientist would know more about how the physical brain works rather than how the mind/psyche operates. Live and learn! Good luck on those "hours of enteratainment" from the fellow houseguests!

Neuroscience has recently married psychology in a big way, Tntitanfan. It provides the scientific backbone for all that we've been learning about the "psyche" for the last 100+ years.

I like what I see from her so far, and I hope she won't be consumed by the "evils" of the House. I just hope she's entertaining, too.

I think she might not know what she's gotten herself into...but if she does, she could go pretty far. I'll hedge a little and say MID-JURY...

She might be able to do well on a test but I doubt she is savvy enough to spot a lie and if she could, she may not know what to do about it. (She hasn't figured out Natalie is older than what she says she is - Kevin nailed that one from the get go!!) I don't see her going very far.

Here is an old link when she was a grad student at Southwestern Medical in Dallas: http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/utsw/cda/dep...iles/65155.html This appears to be her directory at CalTech, although they misspelled her name with 2 Ls. Which is probably common for people with Michele as the name since Michelle is how most people spell it: http://www.directory.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/s...cgi?uid=mnoonan

Michelle has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. She has a lot more spirit than I got from her before the show started. What I read from the LF posters has also colored my views.

I hope she survives this week.. the sad thing is so far she cannot put Ronnie up on the block but she could do some damage with his Athelete buddies. But she has to live through this week, first..
