Bio

Vanessa Dos Reis is a South African account executive at a radio station best known for being a contestant on the third season of the Mzansi Magic reality competition television series Big Brother Mzansi, in 2014.

Big Brother Bio

An account executive at a radio station, Vanessa was born in Ermelo and has lived in Johannesburg for the past four years. She has a Media Studies Diploma from Boston Media House and has also worked in promotions, appearing in a 2010 World Cup TV advert.

Describing herself as pure hearted, ambitious, bold, social and an extrovert, the 23-year-old dislikes judgemental and dishonest people. Her hobbies are shopping, tanning, exercising, dancing and partying.

Her hidden talent is that she thinks she is a dog-whisperer. "Or at least my dogs Coco and Roxy pretend to understand me."

Proud of everything she has achieved in her life so far Vanessa says her role model is her brother. "He has a pure heart and is a blessing to everyone who knows him."

A Sharks rugby supporter, who also enjoys Formula 1 and MotoGP, her favourite soccer teams are Pirates and Manchester United. Vanessa speaks Afrikaans, English and some Zulu.

Among her favourite moves, Vanessa enjoyed Man on Fire (Denzel Washington) and Unthinkable (Samuel L Jackson). She says her favourite actresses are Rachel McAdams, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Garner, her favourite musicians Lil Wayne, Mafikizolo and Michael Buble, her favourite books are Freakanomics and Dis Ek Anna, and her favourite songs include Some Type of Way (Rich Homie Quan) and Naughty Boy (La La).

A sushi-lover, she switches on to the TV programs Cheaters, Grey's Anatomy, Say Yes to the Dress, Idols, America's Got Talent and SA's Got Talent.

Calling the South Coast "a great getaway", Vanessa says the best thing about South Africans is their different cultures and the respect for each of them. If travelling overseas, she'd love to visit Spain. "I hear the men there are out of this world!"

On why audiences should watch her on Big Brother Mzansi, Vanessa says, "I'll let my personality prove why."

While she's never watched a Big Brother before, she's heard a lot about it and is clear on what she expects to do. "Challenge myself while being myself and have fun with my mind set on the goal, bringing home the money."
