Imagine Deborah Miller's shock as she watched — with a national television audience — her daughter wake up in bed with a man she met only days before.

You can understand her nervousness each Thursday night when she flips the TV channel to Fox to watch the new reality show "Forever Eden." Her daughter, Kassie Miller, a 2000 graduate of Brewer High School, is one of 11 young contestants dropped into an exotic, tropical resort with the goal of staying as long as possible.

"I just try to keep an open mind about it and say she's playing the game," Miller said of how she survives her nervousness.

Her open-mindedness was tested two weeks ago when the camera showed Kassie in bed with another player named Michael.

"They may say it's a reality show and things happen as shown," Miller said, "but I've watched enough TV, and you know what's said at the time or the way it may look could be pieced together and not be what happened at all.

"But I know my daughter, and she's 21 and regardless of how that looked, there wasn't anything further. To put it bluntly, I know my daughter didn't have sex with that guy," she said.

"Forever Eden" claims to be different from other reality shows such as "Survivor" in that this version is unscripted and open-ended. It doesn't have a set ending date. New players replace banished players the next day.

There are no teams and no tests of physical skill or endurance. However, the show "guarantees things aren't always what they seem."

For example, on the first show, the guys had to choose the least desirable girl, which turned out to be Mary. Instead of being voted off, however, Mary received the chance to banish or pardon one of the males. She banished the one she thought was two-faced, then was struck with a surprise inside a sealed letter she carried for a day.

By banishing him, she banished herself as well.

"What you sow is what you reap," the letter said.

The players earn $4,000 every time they survive banishment. If they are voted off the show, they get to keep half their money and give the other half to another player. If they leave of their own choosing, they get nothing.

Part of the hitch is the players can have no contact with the outside world.

"She's still hanging in there," Miller said, noting Kassie earned $16,000 to date.

Kassie grew up in Somerville and was a cheerleader and part of the homecoming court at Brewer. After high school, she attended Judson College for one year, then moved to Nashville to pursue a singing career.

She showed her toughness by moving on her own at 19, and taking on a highly competitive career, Miller said. She moved the same year her father, Marshall Miller, died. Her mother has since moved to Nashville.

Singing for a living

So far, Kassie has been able to scratch a living as a singer without having to take side jobs, Miller said, noting she performs at clubs regularly and has had some work for song demos.

"What we're hoping is it will open some doors for her music career," she said of "Eden."

As for her daughter's chances of staying on the show a long time and building her exposure, Miller said success wouldn't surprise her.

"Kassie pretty much goes after what she wants," she said. "She's headstrong. She don't give up until she gets it."
