[edit] Biography

Trishelle was born on November 4, 1979 and raised in Cut Off, Louisiana. Her mother, a devout Christian, took her family to church three or four times a week. When she was just 14, her mother died from a brain tumor. After her mother died, Trishelle turned away from the church and sought out other means of coping with her loss[citation needed]. Despite this family trauma, she managed to maintain a strong GPA and a presence on several athletic teams throughout her high school career at South Lafourche High School. She attended college at The University of Southern Mississippi where she majored in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in English. She was also a member of the Chi Omega Sorority.

Trishelle was a member of the twelfth season of The Real World set in the Las Vegas casino and hotel The Palms. During her stay, Trishelle and her roommates worked in the hotel and clubs. The season is best known for Trishelle and Steven Hill's sexual relationship, which culminated in a pregnancy scare. Other notable moments from the season include her makeout session with Steven and Brynn Smith in the hot tub and Frank Roessler's crush on her. During the season of Road Rules: Campus Crawl, which was filmed at the same time as The Real World: Las Vegas, the cast members from the two shows faced off against each other in a series of challenges. During this competition, Trishelle hooked up with Road Rules cast member Eric Jones.

[edit] The Surreal Life

In 2004, Cannatella was a member of The Surreal Life along with Traci Bingham, Erik Estrada, Tammy Faye Messner, Ron Jeremy, and Vanilla Ice.

During the Dirty Laundry segment hosted at the end of the season by Sally Jesse Raphael, Raphael made unflattering remarks about Cannatella, insinuating that she had a drinking problem and was a slut.

Trishelle was a member of the Real World team during the Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet, but was sent home during the tenth episode when she lost a gauntlet to Sarah Greyson.

Another notable moment during The Gauntlet occurred when Trishelle fell off of her bicycle and had to be sent to the hospital.
