Charla: “I can handle anything now.”
In a mostly substance-less interview with the Pioneer Press–which doesn’t even ask Paradise Hotel winner Charla Pihlstrom why she kept all the money for herself rather than split it with Dave–Charla says that on the show, “I learned that I’m a strong person, and I think I can handle anything now.” Rather than move to LA like so many other reality TV show contestants, the paper reports that all she wants to do eventually is “buy a house, get married and have kids someday.” Presently, “she’s working as a waitress, modeling part time and planning to go back to college, using the money she won on the show.”
