TV and film
Dubela first appeared on national TV in 2003, when she participated in Fox TV's American Juniors, a reality TV competition, to select members for a new band.
She became a semi-finalist. Her last performance of "Rainy Days and Mondays" was criticized by the celebrity judges (Deborah Gibson, Gladys Knight and Justin Guarini), for her showing precociousness and nervousness in the performance, and she didn't make it the next stage.
Subsequently, she appeared on PAX TV's America's Most Talented Kid, a TV talent competition, where she narrowly lost on an episode in 2005.
Later in 2005, she was part of Discovery Kids's Endurance: Tehachapi, a national TV show similar to Survivor.
She was paired on the Gray team with John Kardian, but was subsequently eliminated as the first team to go home. Taped during the summer, it started airing later in the year, continuing into early 2006 on the NBC broadcast network, in addition to the digital Discovery Kids Channel.
