Michelle Ryan is One of America’s Most Eligible
The Bionic Woman made a surprising move last week, when Jaime Sommers’ alter ego Michelle Ryan allowed herself to be filmed for a segment on Extra, a tabloid television show. It’s an unpredictable move for Michelle, who has been vocal about her love/hate relationship with the rabid British tabloids and who suffered depression as a result of their obsession with her and her weight. However she is single and potentially looking for a new job, so why not raise her profile a bit?
The Extra segment aired December 26 in most markets, and is part of the show’s regular feature about single stars called America’s Most Eligible. Will Yun Lee, who plays her trainer Jae on the show, was featured as one of America’s Most Eligible bachelors earlier this fall.
In her segment, Michelle reveals that she is just as complicated as Jaime when it comes to dating. She will play very hard to get, but she prefers her love interest to be honest and direct. She likes a man with confidence, but arrogance is her biggest turn off. She is old fashioned in that she prefers to be treated like a lady and likes it when the man pays for the first few dates, but she is independent and does her own stunts on the show.
One thing that is not so complicated is her taste in gifts, as Michelle is clear that the best way to woo her is with the classics ("flowers, chocolates, jewelry").
Her surprising choice for the sexiest man alive is a young Clint Eastwood, especially in his Dirty Harry persona, although that is a fictional character and technically not attainable so I am not sure if Dirty Harry qualifies for the title. Perhaps there is someone out there who embodies his tough guy persona. Clive Owen, maybe? They would make a lovely couple, assuming he can master the art of balancing confidence and arrogance and will stick around long enough to win the attention of the fair lady.
