Brooke on her own travels:
“Before the show I was a real paperback–by–the–pool sort of girl. I’d backpacked through Europe and modeled in South Africa, but I would never have ventured out on a puddle–jumper, then a bus ride, then a two–hour boat trip up a river through the jungle to see Belizean ruins. I always thought, Hey, I’m here to chill.”

Brooke on censorship:
“In the United States, viewers don’t get to see a lot of things we can show in other countries. We didn’t get to show our naked Twister game from Wild On Jamaica, but we definitely filmed it. We also filmed a sexual– positions contest, but you’ll never see it. The craziest thing you’ll see in America is our Spring Break show, which means a lot of college girls flashing their breasts. I mean, a European woman wouldn’t care about that. She’s already topless. Why would she need to flash?”

Brooke on baring it all:
“I was sunbathing topless in Ibiza, and my friend wanted to eat at this café where everybody goes without putting on their tops or bottoms. He assured me, ‘No, it’s cool. Don’t dress up.’ I went into the café and sat down with him when all of a sudden I hear, ‘Brooke!’ It was my dentist. I just played it cool, but needless to say, I changed dentists.”

Brooke on when things get too wild:
“We were planning to shoot the opening of the New Zealand show atop a 1,000–foot–tall tower in Auckland, but the weather was so shaky they weren’t going to let us do it. We persuaded them to let me, the cameraman, and a sound guy crawl out onto a metal ledge not even two feet wide. We were harnessed, but the wind nearly blew us off anyway. It was one of those live–to–tell experiences, but I don’t want to die with any regrets. I’ll try anything once. Well, almost anything.”

Brooke on guys who go wild on her:
“I was at this bar in the Australian outback, watching Aussie–rules football and learning local slang. So I’m there getting ‘perved,’ which means everybody’s checking me out, and this guy with a lot of beer in him comes right up and says, ‘So, hey, how about that root?’, which means to have intercourse. I was so shocked, I don’t know if I said anything. But I like forwardness. No American guy’s ever done that to me.”

Brooke on tempting body parts:
“I like feet. I definitely have a fetish. I love to see a man’s bare foot, but it’s got to be taken care of. If they’re not well manicured, you’ve got to wonder what the rest of him is like. [laughs] I don’t want to get in bed with somebody and feel his gnarly feet.”

Brooke on what drives her wild:
“Forget all the bars and schmoozing and everybody checking out everybody else. My ideal date would be to park in a dark place, check out the stars, and have a great conversation. When all else fails, you can just make out. If I really wanted to get down and dirty with someone, it wouldn’t be at some chic five–star hotel—it would be in the rough with a roaring fire burning outside a tent.”

Brooke on the future:
“I don’t want to say, ‘This is where I’m going to be in five years and I’m going to get there no matter what.’ I want to leave it open. I’m not a desperate actress dying to star in a B movie in a bikini. I’m waiting for a role where I can put my heart and soul into it and deliver a line like Meg Ryan did in Top Gun: ‘Take me to bed or lose me forever."
