Brooke Burns (?Baywatch?) hosts NBC?s hit reality series ?Dog Eat Dog,? a prime-time, in-studio game show that combines extreme stunts and outrageous dares with smarts and strategy. Last summer, ?Dog Eat Dog? was right on ?American Idol?s? heels in the race to be top dog among summer reality shows (?Dog Eat Dog? had 91% of the total viewership of ?American Idol?).

In addition to starring on Baywatch? and it?s spinoff -- ?Baywatch Hawaii,? Burns has had numerous television guest-starring roles on other series, including NBC?s ?Just Shoot Me,? Timothy Hutton?s ?Nero Wolfe? and the recurring role of Jennifer, the fantasy girl on ?Ally McBeal.? She made her comedic and feature-film debut in last year?s ?Shallow Hal? (alongside Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black) as a young, tragically ugly girl whose inner beauty proves to be much stronger than her disagreeable outer appearance.

A native of Dallas, TX, Burns currently resides in the Los Angeles suburbs where as a former ballerina she still enjoys dancing on a regular basis. Burns is an avid swimmer, loves the outdoors and writing (songs, poetry). She is also active in the Camp Baywatch and Planet Hope charities.
