San Antonio’s Vanessa Macias, who made waves recently as a finalist on CBS’ “Amazing Race,” doesn’t have the figure for that non-visual medium either.

The curvaceous Macias, nevertheless, just landed a morning gig at country station, KCYY-FM (Y100). She’s the new sidekick to more entrenched morning man Jeff Roper.

“I always preferred radio,” Macias, who caught national attention last spring on network TV with her brash behavior and what she called “a potty mouth” on “Race,” said.

Before she was a contestant on "Amazing Race," Vanessa was first famous for being the original co-host on KENS 5's "Great Day SA," then for doing World Car commercials, then for marrying KENS 5's weekend sportscaster Bob Ballou. She moved with Ballou to Austin in 2007,when he became Sports Director at KEYE there. At some point, she divorced Ballou and moved back to SA.
