She was a winning contestant on the third season of Beauty and the Geek along with her partner Alan "Scooter" Zackheim.

In February 2007, Hauserman revealed in an exclusive interview that she would spend her half of the money: "I’m going to go to Disneyland and go on vacation, and get my hair done." However, during a phone interview in September 2008, Hauserman was asked what she had done with the Beauty and the Geek money and she said she put all of it, $125,000, towards her mortgage.
