"Is Joey's sister a former reality star?"

This is driving me crazy. In all the promos for The Contender, Joey (whose father is a military doctor) is shown with his sister ... a young woman with long brown hair and deep set eyes. She looks SO familiar. Was she on a reality show previously?

Look at the preview video on the left on this page, she is onscreen first:

Here is a pic:

Thanks.

When I go there and try to view the video clip, It is him saying that if he wins he will invest the money and then the box goes black and then a new video starts about Law and Order.

I can't get any video to play on the NBC site. I've tried 2 different browsers. I tried yesterday and then again today. I left the window open for 10 minutes and all it did was say "loading...". It's not a slow connection because I have DSL.

I thought I was having problems, so I went to CBS.com to try and view their videos and had no problem. So it must be that NBC.com is having problems.

Thanks for the pics! She does look familiar, but I can't place her. Maybe she just has a familiar type of look?

Oh... and welcome to the boards!

Here's her description from Joey's Web site:

Another invaluable addition to Team Gilbert was Joey's sister Gina Gilbert-Green. Gina is a health and fitness expert with degrees in nutrition, psychology, and kinesiology as well as virtually every certification available in her fields of expertise. Gina plans Joey's diet, and routinely adjusts his cardiovascular and endurance training regimens. Gina is also the loudest person at each of Joey's fights and her voice is recognizable over thousands of screaming fans.

I've never heard the name Gina Gilbert-Green in relation to a reality show.

Call me crazy but I think dworsky has a thing for Joey's sister.

Joey says: Forget about it.

She just looks *so* familiar. I have seen her before, and can only assume it was on TV. Someone else must have too?!?
