The Royal Family, Farmer Wants A Wife, '90s Teen Stars
- Born and raised in Idaho and having spent her entire adult life in NYC, Madison was thrilled to hear the dating show "Farmer Wants a Wife" was getting a reboot. She's seen every episode multiple times, and stalks her favorite contestants' social media pages regularly.

- A true child of the '90s, Madison still has some of her favorite Teen Beat tear-out posters adorning the walls of her NYC apartment (though these days they're framed and professionally hung, not tacked to the back of the door with scotch tape).
