Berlinda Desidovicz is one of the most popular models of Santa Barbara and works at the Ciao! fashion company. Gus knows her from some commercials and consequently fell in love with her, so when he and Shawn go undercover as Ciao! models he's trying everything in his power to get close to her. He seems to be succeeding, but then Shawn reveals to the whole company upon solving the case that neither he nor Gus is an actual model. Berlinda cannot believe what she's hearing and leaves Gus in disgust, as she only dates other models.
Berlinda was never a suspect during the case, because although she could not have been more apathetic when chairman of the company Gregor Uwe-Steeb was killed, hardly any of Gregor's employees actually liked him and the SBPD believe her to be much too shallow and dim-witted to even commit a murder in the first place.
Trivia[]
- Gus mentions that two commercials Berlinda has been in are the Floppy Cakes commercial and the Icy Pops commercial, explaining to Shawn that she is the "Gooey!" girl.
- She is putting together a fan club, with Gus at the top of the interest list.
- She always wanted a pet dwarf bunny as a child.
- She loves everything that looks and/or smells like lavender.
- According to Lassiter, one of the models didn't know how to spell their own name in the interrogation room. Shawn later reveals to Gus that this was Berlinda. However, Lassiter used the pronoun "his" in his statement, so either he was not careful in his choice of pronoun or Shawn is lying.
