Television Appearances

She was in the pilot episode for TV show King's Pawn which didn't get picked up and on another show called Driving Me Crazy which never aired. She then had guest appearances in shows like The Geena Davis Show and The Jersey. She also appeared in the hit TV show, Grounded For Life, before her rise to stardom in The Cheetah Girls. Bryan recently competed in the fifth season of Dancing With The Stars. Bryan and her professional dancing partner, Mark Ballas Jr., received a score of 26/30, the highest score ever given to any contestant on the first week in the history of the show. On Week 4 of the show, they set another record by receiving a 30/30 from the judges for their Paso Doble, the earliest any contestant has ever received a perfect score in the show's history. Sabrina has also gotten the highest, lowest score anyone has ever recieved in the show's hitory, which was a 25 on her Foxtrot in week six. She also was the top contender on the judge's leaderboard on Weeks 1, 3, and 4. On the night of October 30, 2007, Week 6, she was voted off. The announcement was met by shock and tears from the show's judges, contestants and live audience, since she and Ballas were favored by many to win the competition. An AOL poll voted their elimination "2007's most shocking TV moment".In the following week's show, the remaining dancers and celebrities showed their continued support and affection for Sabrina by donning her signature cheetah paw-print tattoo. During the semi-finals of DWTS Sabrina and Mark were invited back to the show to perform, another first for any dancing couple. On their interview at Fox Cable News, they confirmed that indeed, she and Mark Ballas Jr. were planning to go on a date now that they were no longer on the show. In November 4, 2007 on a TV Guide interview, after weeks of speculation by fans and media of a possible offstage romance between her and DWTS partner Mark Ballas, Sabrina confirmed that they were 'hanging out' and has often said she knows she has found a 'life long friend' in Mark Ballas. In a recent TMZ.com video, reporters stationed outside of Hollywood hot spot Hyde kiddingly asked Bryan and her partner "When's the wedding?" She responded, "August of '08.", referring to an earlier question regarding the release of Cheetah Girls 3. This lead to an article hinting, incorrectly, that the dancing partners were engaged. [2] She will star on the Dancing With The Stars - The Tour with Mark from December 21, 2007 until January 13, 2008.
