If you read her interview, she is a fake--she wished to have $1 million on there and did it for exposure. As for talking behind other people's back on the show, it's not classy, loving, or open minded! If she's a lady, she wouldn't be a two face! -_- All of VH1's show is fake--that's how it is; that's how they get us to watch their show, but it's entertaining and brings laughter to us!

No, that's not quite what she said.

I must've been mistaken?!?! Um... here's part of her interview

Looking at the situation in a different way, regardless of the final outcome, is it satisfying to have won this competition for the sake of competing?

Oh yeah. I’m competitive by nature. To win anything is satisfying. It was really great because once I won, I got to spend the weekend in Hawaii with Antonio, and it was a great time. I didn’t go into this thinking I was going to walk out winning. I went into this for the experience and for fun and thinking that it would be great to meet some other women. It wasn’t until he let Tully go that I thought, “Oh my God, I have a chance of winning this.” To me, he and Miranda were not a match from the beginning, because she’s so fearful and she doesn’t have an athletic bone in her body. But winning was still a great shock and immensely satisfying. Do I wish $1 million would have come with it? Yes! That would have been icing on the cake

Did you go on this show looking for exposure?

Yeah. I mean…I prayed a lot about appearing on it. The doors just opened, my employers told me that I could take a leave even for a month, and if I would have said no, I would have been the only block to the opportunity. I just did it. I just jumped in. I’m glad I did. Had the relationship worked out, I wouldn’t have cared about parlaying it into exposure and opportunities. But since it didn’t, I’m hoping the exposure will enable me to have other work.

Icing on the cake... as in an added bonus to winning and getting to know Antonio for a couple of months, not the primary motivation or a regret that it wasn't offered.

It's also not indicative of being fake. If it were, then quite a few of the other women would have to be deemed fake as well. Miranda found out about the casting call during one of her AFTRA meetings because it was listed in the back pages of the industry publication Back Stage, and she spoke about the "transition" from being an actor to being on a reality show. Seeing as those mediums (industry publications) are one of the ways they find participants it stands to reason that actors and wannabe entertainers are the ones who get cast. They're still real people at the end of the day. 

Yes, it's heavily scripted in that there is a lot of editing to shape a participant's character on the show and the situations are far from realistic, and it does make us all watch and laugh, even if only occasionally. But, you can tell it's not wholly fake because none of them are good enough actors to cry on cue or convey emotion so convincingly. If they were they wouldn't be on reality television.

She's still a FAKE!!! They all were fake; I stated countless times on here through other message board this a FAKE Reality Show! So what if she wanted it to be "icing on the cake;" SHE DID ANSWER YES!!! SHE WANTED 1 MILLION DOLLARS! she is a FAKE! FAKE--just like the rest of the cast; just like ALL OF THE OTHER FAKE REALITY SHOW! Oh well, it is what it is, but I wish they kept it going; I enjoyed watching this show!

I hope she is a fake.  It would be awful if she was a good person and got taken in by this sleaze.  I haven't seen him since GH, but clearly, it's been all down hill since then.  He looks bloated, so there's not much to him now that his looks are deteriorating.  And how can someone with so little talent have such a big ego?!!   He makes that New York chick from the Flava Flav show look classy and humble.  As for Ma Barker, I mean, Ma Sabato, man, Tony Soprano's mother has nothing on her!  VH1, can't you find a NICE guy -- or at least someone who can make us think he's a nice guy?   Please, please, please, don't give him the exposure of a season 2.  My roommates made me watch this with them for a while in return for watching "The Amazing Race" with me, but about half-way through, they stopped watching and we agreed to watch the finale together -- kind of like some people follow a fire truck to a disaster.  I don't mind tacky, it even makes me laugh sometimes, but this pompous, self-important, fake jerk crosses from tacky and talentless to ugly and boring and boorish.  Yuck!

And as for the million dollars - PUH-LEESE!!!  I love my boyfriend but if I was told I could have a million dollars AND date him, I'd take it in a minute and call anyone stupid who thought I shouldn't do it.  Short of murder, I can't imagine too much I wouldn't do for a million dollars.  I'd even date Sabato for a million dollars -- and tell his crazy mother that I was THRILLED to have her around.
