==Profile==
Big Brother 2 (US)
In Big Brother 2, Maria wasn't chosen for the Hit the Road. She didn't win the first HOH but her ally, Lana Lipstick did. He told her she needed to be a pawn against Pixie Monaco. She was really against it but she ended up going up. The girls came together to work together which made Maria feel confident she'd have the votes. It all went south when Joe Durham became close with Pixie and managed to flip the vote and Maria was evicted 8-4.
Big Brother 10 (US)
In Big Brother 10, Maria came back with a vengeance and wanting to prove herself. With it being eight years since she last played, Maria had a lot to prove. Right off the bat in the first week, she proved to be no slacker when it came to competitions when she won the POV Competition. She then went on the win the next week's HOH where she took out Beau Holloway after being included in a girls alliance. Within the girls alliance, she grew close to Jasmine Martino, Lily Moriah, Skylar Marsh, and Tessa Downing. Outside of her alliance, she worked on repairing her broken relationship with Alejandro Goldman after he betrayed her in their original season. This worked and they were able to align throughout the season. Once jury hit, Maria's target level had become huge due to her winning several HOHs. When Faith McNeal had a chance to take a shot, she did and Maria was evicted in a near unanimous vote with only Alejandro voting to keep her.
