In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Chiquis. My motto is… be a survivor. I can’t stand it when… someone lies to me. Very... [Read more]
“Badadunkadunk” – noun – a bouncin, dynamic booty, that defies the laws of physics and reminds men why we wanna be dogs, or an urban term used to define approval of the voluptuous curvature of a feminie rump. (Via Urban Dictionary) I sure do have a badunkadunk. I’m a thick girl and I enjoy being thick. I always say, of course, that there’s always room to better yourself,... [Read more]
I just cannot believe that we’re going through these days. It’s disappointing not just for the Latinos, but for anybody that comes from a different country. I think it’s so unfair. In my Utopia there would be no borders. I feel that in this world, we’re here, and it’s for all of us to share. It’s not just about race, it’s about humanity. It’s something that I can’t believe is... [Read more]
I want a confident man. A man that can hold his own. A man that definitely is spiritual or religious, whatever, as long as he has faith in something. I think having faith is huge and that’s the only way that I feel my relationship with any man is going to work out, because I have a tremendous amount of faith in God and I’m a very, very spiritual person. So that’s important. A man doesn’t... [Read more]
When I say giving back I don’t necessarily mean financially or materialistically. I just feel like in any way that you possibly can, whether it’s your time or clothes or anything that you can give back to the world and to the community because our life wasn’t always like this. We were on welfare at a point and there were times that we didn’t have something to eat. I remember where we lived... [Read more]
All I know is to be there for my mom. And honestly, I love doing it. I have a passion for it. The main reason why I agreed to do the reality show was because it may seem very dysfunctional from the outside, and I wanted the world to see that we’re normal and that we love each other. Yes, we have problems and we’re not a perfect family, but at the end of the day we have each other’s back... [Read more]
Our new show is based on two Latinas in L.A. trying to make it in life. Raq-C and I are very independent and we want to accomplish whatever it may be. It’s based on my life as Jenni Rivera’s daughter and what my life entails on a daily basis, what I do for her – I administrate the house and I administrate her life. And I have my best friend Raq-C who is on the radio. And she’s very... [Read more]

“In my utopia, everybody would be naked,” says Chiquis (pronounced Chik-eese), and she means not only free of clothes, but also of prejudice and judgment. The daughter of trailblazing music icon Jenni Rivera, Chiquis (whose birth name is Janney Rivera) had to grow up fast. After her father left their family, she stepped up to the plate to help raise her younger siblings and to manage her... [Read more]
We are a little hyperbolic on the show. These things are not easy to catch. These things happen in fractions of a microsecond, so it takes a real trained eye, but there are things called macro-expressions as opposed to micro-expressions. Micro-expressions are hand shrugs, shoulder shrugs, hand rubbing, things that are actually quite physical and deliberate actions that can give off a tell or... [Read more]
For Guys: I think it’s really important to know this because I went through this. If a girl meets you for the first time and she says, “Hi, I’m so and so, it’s really nice to meet you.” And you see her smile, it’s not going to be a genuine smile unless there’s wrinkling around her eyes. Like her crow’s feet area, those wrinkles have to really be there, otherwise the smile... [Read more]
He seems like he would be an intense kind of guy because he likes to do all these intense roles, but he’s actually this like really overgrown child. He’s incredibly useful and spontaneous and a bit of a prankster. He played this joke on me where it was like April fool’s day or something and he – we had this scene together and it was supposed to open this shoe box to get these files... [Read more]
I have no idea how I got in. I have no idea. I was applying to colleges, I applied to maybe two or three conservatories just to see, but most of them were normal, private liberal arts colleges. When I got into Julliard, I was so convinced that I wasn’t going to get in that I must have been incredibly relaxed, and then I got called back. I was like, “Ech, they called me back. I’m not going... [Read more]
My brother and I were mixed kids growing up in this very conservative town. My mother came from the Dominican Republic. She moved to the United States when she was about 19 years old. My father was his guy going to Georgetown for grad school and my mom was in D.C. working at the bank. And my dad came in and she rung her little bell and that was that. My dad started this business and had to move... [Read more]

I play Ria Torres, who is a natural on the show. I’m basically Tim Roth’s protégé. I have a natural ability to tell if you’re lying, and I kick ass. I am pretty tough. I’m also bring kind of a fresh perspective on the science, because I don’t know much about it, so I ask a lot of questions and I come in to help him sort of clean up these cases and provide a fresh new pair of eyes.

“I just got out of school so I’m still trying to figure out how to be an adult” says Monica Raymund, and she’s doing more than a capable job.
