As you all may know, Tanedra won the first season of Scream Queens and a role in the next Saw movie. Here’s an excerpt of what she had to say after her win:

What’s the deal with Saw VI? When do you start shooting? What’s it about?

I haven’t heard anything yet. I heard something about pre-production starting in February or March and that it’s going to be filmed in Canada. But that’s about it. They haven’t gotten in contact with me, so I assume they’re going to do that soon, now that the show is over. We have no idea what the role will be like. I heard a rumor that the way the role was written would depend on who won. I guess they’re just waiting to see what the winner is capable of pulling off.

Are you a fan of the series?

Yeah. I’d seen the original and Saw II, but I hadn’t seen the rest until Scream Queens. I like mind-game stuff, so it’s right up my alley.

What about horror in general. You a fan?

I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. I watch them, definitely. Child’s Play is my favorite horror movie of all time. I’m not a buff. I’ve seen people online whose names and MySpaces are all horror. Definitely not that deep.

Is there a genre you prefer to work in?

I like drama, and I would love to do action. Blow me up, throw me from a plane, let me jump off a building. No sappy love stories, but definitely comedy, too. They didn’t show any of my fun side on Scream Queens. I just seemed so serious and blah on TV. I am not nearly that boring. I was telling my mother that watching me on this show is like watching paint dry. I can’t win for losing. People wonder why I’m so boring, but if I wasn’t boring, I’d be loud and obnoxious and then I’d be what? The loud ghetto girl.

This week on Scream Queens the girls start off by having to hurry and get ready to meet a casting director. They show up and they are just there for the casting director to judge what they chose to wear.

Jessica is praised as best dressed for dressing like herself, and she gets immunity for the week. Lindsey and Marissa are the losers of the challenge and get to go get a makeover before their elimination round.

Meanwhile, the rest of the girls are given the challenge of taking a photo where they are reacting to different situations. Here’s Michelle’s take on finding someone’s reflection in the mirror after getting out of the shower. Take 1:

Another new reality show has come to VH1 and this time it’s scary. Well, at least the girls on it are supposed to act like it is. The show Scream Queens is a competition to find the next starlet to grace the screen in the sixth installment of the very popular horror movie series Saw.

The host of the show is Shawnee Smith, the star of the first three Saw movies. She along with fellow judges; acting coach John Homa and horror director James Gunn will be picking the winning actress. They have 10 lovely ladies to chose from whose acting experience ranges from none, to several years, to a little as a child.

This autumn, VH1 will begin looking for the next horror actress. Scream Queens will pit 10 unknowns against each other in an all out fight for a “major” role in a Lionsgate horror film.

For eight episodes, contestants will receive training from acting coach John Homa, and compete in that staple of VH1 reality, the weekly challenge. A Lionsgate director will judge the competition.

Several actresses began in Horror, later to make big names for themselves. Just remember Janet Leigh and her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis.
