Michelle Gervais

My guest today only worked one season in Club Med, but it was quite a memorable one. She was working as a Budweiser girl at a golf tournament in Vancouver when a Club Med recruiter approached her and said that she would be a good fit for Club Med. Her first and only season was in Club Med Paradise Island in 2001 as a Bar G.O. with Kevin Batt as the Chief of Village. When 9/11 happened, American Airlines paid for the flights for 500 police officers and 500 firefighters for a week’s vacation at Club Med Paradise Island when my guest was working there. From Vancouver Island but living in Las Vegas for the last twelve years, please help me welcome, Michelle Gervais! Michelle worked ten months in the Bahamas with G.O.s like Gecko, Paula Fishman, Joker, and “Pizza Russ” and has the stories to prove it! Michelle takes us back to that fateful day she was recruited to her first week at Paradise Island and has a great “NSYNC” story that sadly, I had to edit most of! Michelle lets us know who she enjoyed working with, the things she misses the most about Club Med, and why they called her the “Blender Queen”. Michelle even found time to film a Molson Export beer commercial with a few other G.O.s at Paradise Island. We also talked about the “Dos Hombres” Bar Boss competition she entered last year.
