Dana Jamison: Model to Wipeout Contestant

Posted on: July 23rd, 2008 by: Andrea

Dana Jamison is a model from Delaware who recently moved to Beverly Hills, CA, to pursue an acting career.

19-year-old Jamison competed on ABC’s new reality TV show, “Wipeout,” going head to head against 23 other contestants through four rounds of obstacle courses. The only female to make it through to the “Wipeout Zone,” she took second place, just missing out on the $50,000 prize.

Jamison said the toughest obstacle was running up an inclined board, leaping onto a giant bouncy ball and navigating over two more balls. “If you bounced off, which happens to almost everyone, you get thrown into a huge pool of water, where you have to swim and climb up a ladder to the next obstacle.” But there was more: climbing stairs up to a very high platform, leaping onto another ball and swinging over to the final platform.

Dana began modeling seven years ago, but says her main passion is acting.
