The Celebreality Interview - Thing 1
“I still have my sister on there, so she’s still representing us. My spirit is through her, so I’m still on the show through my sister,” says Thing 1 on her elimination from Flavor of Love 3. After the jump, the realitwin talks fakeness, being grouped with her sister as one contestant and those nasty oral-sex allegations.
How was your time on the show?
It was a quite an experience. It had its fun moments, I have to say. Being in that environment was definitely intense. As it got closer and closer to the end, it became very emotional.
How did you feel about Flav grouping you with your sister as one contestant?
We always have been close our whole life, but at first it was kind of strange for us to compete as one person. That wasn’t our intention coming into the show. Eventually, it became sort of normal, considering the circumstances we were in. We got used to it, it wasn’t a big thing after a while.
Normal to the point where being split up was upsetting, right?
It was emotional. We knew it was going to happen, but we didn’t think it was going to hit as hard as it did.
That came as a result of the new girls interviews with the “old girls.” Do you want to talk about that? You were made out to be kind of a polygamist…
That’s so not true. What I said was, “We’re fine how it is right now. I cannot tell you how we’ll feel in the future, and as women, it would be difficult for us to share. But at this particular time, our situation is OK.” I wasn’t saying, “We’ll both be with him!” I wasn’t saying that and I wasn’t OK with that. That made me mad because they didn’t air that, and I felt like it looked like I wasn’t being serious.
The Bottom 2 came down to you and your sister and you were the one to leave. Did it make sense to you that you were the one to go?
I feel like it was unfair. My sister and I was feeling him the same exact way. I was feeling Flav a lot, and being in that situation, your feelings grow more and more. For it to be like I wasn’t feeling him more, that was hurtful. If I didn’t care about Flav, I wouldn’t have cared about what girls were fake and what girls weren’t. I woulda just been on there with a mission and that’s it. But no.
Any resentment for your sister for staying?
No, never! No show, no man, no nothing would ever break the bond that me and my sister have. When I went home, I told my sister to keep her head up. Keep fighting, you know?
You talked about not just being on a mission, but you did have a certain strategy going into the house, right?
I mean, it wasn’t like, “This is what we gonna do when we get in the house!” It’s that when you’re around certain females, you pick up on their characteristics and what kind of person they are. It bothered me that you could see right through the girls to what their agendas were. A lot of girls was fake in there, and were just on TV for exposure, to get modeling contracts and all that. They didn’t deserve to be there over somebody that was really there trying to look for love.
So that was the criterion for fakeness? Who was interested in getting involved in entertainment?
Right. Who was there to be there and who was there to get a career out of it.
You formed a bond with Sinceer, which was interesting because no one else did.
Sinceer and Shy were some of the realest girls in the house. They had in mind Flav’s best interests and that’s why we clicked so much. We felt like we were really there for Flav.
Any theories as to why Sinceer gravitated to you, considering how aggressive she was with many of the other girls?
I think real recognized real.
Are you still friends with Shy and Sinceer?
Definitely. We still talk a lot and everything.
Anyone else?
Grayvee. Not really anybody else, though.
Any outstanding beef with anyone?
I just can’t really remember all of them. Maybe if I watched some reruns it would come back to me, but nope. I don’t remember anybody else.
It seemed really unfair to me that the major reason you were eliminated had to do with your ex.
For me to go home off some bullcrap, to know that it was nothing but lies, just to make good TV, I thought it was unfair. I’m always honest. I’m a grown woman. I want to be ashamed of nothing that I do. To be exploited in that way, I was disgusted with that.
I also feel like, even if it were true, how is it anyone’s business what you did before you got in the house, anyway?
I mean, to say it like that, what was in the past was in the past. That doesn’t determine how I felt about Flav. It wasn’t like something came out that I was a prostitute or that I was doing modeling. No. I was only me. But going home based on a lie and for Flav to question me, I was really hurt by that.
Do you have resentment for him?
No. It was hard for him to have to choose between me and my sister and there had to be a reason for one of us to go. I felt like that made it a little bit easier. I still have my sister on there, so she’s still representing us. My spirit is through her, so I’m still on the show through my sister.
Flav cried when he eliminated you. That must have felt good, knowing that he cared so much?
I mean, I knew he cared because we had the connection. We spent a lot of time with Flav off-camera. We formed a bond. Flav is very smart. He can see through people, and he knew we was good-hearted people. It is what it is.
Were you attracted to Flav?
Definitely. I was attracted to how he was. His spirit was just so good and genuine. He was one of the most honest, the coolest person you could ever meet. That attracted me to him more than anything else.
What about a physical attraction?
When you first look at him, you be like, “Whoooo,” or whatever. But once you get past all that and know Flav for Flav, his inner personality, his inner beauty, that overshadows everything to make him the bomb person. You know what I mean?
Are you and your sister identical?
Yeah. Well, we’re supposed to be. (Laughs) I think over the years, we kinda changed.
I saw on your FlavorOfLoveWorld.com profile that you identify as the “curvier” twin.
Yeah. It’s so funny. People say, “Oh my god, she’s so big on TV.” I probably was a little big on the show, but I’m only like a buck 25! TV makes you look different.
Are you and your sister pursuing more work in the entertainment industry?
Well, I have to say that it’s definitely been a blessing being on the show. It gave us a lot of opportunities right now. You just kinda have to weigh out and see what you can do. I’m not no model or a singer or any of that stuff. I just have to wait it out and see what doors I want to go through.
But you didn’t go into the show feeling this way, right? That would have been fake, right?
No. My sister and I have always been shy. We were always shy to do commercials and those kinds of things. That wasn’t our main interest at all.
Did you take anything lasting away from the show?
I feel like I grew as a person, as far as my temper. I don’t be whoppin’ girls. I can handle myself a little better now. It was a learning experience and a great opportunity.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 were my girl’s and it made me cry to see Flav cry. He is looking for Real love and that is what he let go. Beauty is not everything it is about the heart

April 18th, 2008 at 10:26 am
I AM GLAD HE GOT RID OF ONE OF THOSE PIGEONS. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN HE GETS RID OF THE REMAINING 2 PIGEIONS(THING 2 & SINCEER) IT’S GOING TO COME DOWN TO SEEINZ AND BLACK. BUT WHO REALLY CARES. CONSIDERING HE IS NOT WITH THE WINNER ANY HOW. THEY ARE NOT EVEN DATING SO REALLY.?!?!
April 18th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Thing 1 and Thing 2 i liked them at the start of the show i thought they were cool, but the strange thing i thought was how could both sisters wanna share the same man i thought that was kinda gross actually not kinda it was gross and just plain not right. Then later on on the show i was finding them to be more and more ignorant as hell. And yes them both and sinceere were or should i say are very entremetidas, which is a spanish word for nosy bodies and kept on and on butting into everyones business trying everything in there power to bring up dirt about everyone so they could get booted out of the show. And what i hated was when i think it was Thing 1 got in Hotlanta’s face when Tree brought up something about Hotlanta there goes Thing 1 butting in again right on Hotlanta’s face hell if i was Hotlanta i would of slapped the #+$( out of her i would of not cared being thrown off the show for hitting her or any other person that would of came up to my face like that. As for Hotlanta i liked her i no she liked flav and she held on there for a long time like she did and as for girls saying she was a unfit mother that was not cool and saying that she could not even support her kids no one knows anybodys life and they should of not been throwing that at her face that was not cool. But i give Hotlanta thumbs up for hanging in there threw all the bullshit until she got eliminated and she was a women for saying before she left to flav that she was sorry for doubting flav and admitted it. But many like senceer and thing 1 and 2 do not have the balls to tell anyone that there in it for the money they are the money hungry +$`+* es out for his money. But anyways im glad Thing 1 is out and know Thing 2 needs out and senceere them 2 need out so seezin come on do your thing and get both of those +$`+* es out of there and for the others i have not problem with them so between you all minus the 2 +$`+* es good luck. And plus i think all you girls need to find a guy your age flav is to old you can find someone better he is to old and has 2 much kids already. Not dishing you flav or nothing you are great on your show but hook up with someone your age PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE act your age my dear.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Shut up dude you are so trash honestly you blew some dude 1 week before you came on the show and you got booted for that. The same way you booted those others came back and bit you in your overweight self. And Shy is not real homey so I definately feel like you look like a fool for saying that because she was on there for exposure and even she said that. So real definately didn’t recognize you. Now your sister on the other hand is there for Flav I just think you were there for other obvious reasons. And you showed your tru colors.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I think that 1 of them was going 2 go home anyways even doe they wasn’t taking no ish from nobody but u gotta stay srong n move on but i hope her sister win

i loved the twins i didnt want none of them to go home until the end of the show. i think flav was stupid for listening to the ex of somebody because they usually the one that lies the most becuase they jealus.
April 18th, 2008 at 4:41 am
I loved the twins. I didn’t want to see you go either. Your ex was really F*** Up for coming there and dragging you down like that.
April 18th, 2008 at 4:08 am
I think that Thing 1 is very pretty, her twin has issues with her teeth. But overlooking that, I believe that Thing 2 is a little bit more mature than her sister. I thought that Hotlanta was going to win, but I guess not. Also, read that Black is the winner of Flavor of Love 3. If this should be true, I also heard that she use to date Terrell Owens and is a model. So if she is a model, then why would Flav pick her?? He is the main one always saying that he doesn’t want anyone to use his show as a way to a career or fame, and then he gets rid of all the girls who he has found dirt on (example Bee-Ex). So he has contradicted everything he has said if he picks Black.
April 18th, 2008 at 12:17 am
Angie, where did you get your imformation from?
April 18th, 2008 at 12:13 am
I agree with thing 1. People should walk away from experience’s with a positive out look. Trisha (thing 1) and her sister seemed to be there for flav. I’m curious of Tree, and some of the other girls though.
April 17th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I think it was unfair of Flav to just kick that girl off like that…. He should have made them take a lie detector test!!!! Besides who knows what flav did a month before the show?? Or during?? I think those twins are his speed.
April 17th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
She said she weighs a buck 25….
April 17th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
hahahahahaha! you beeotch! wat goes around, comes around! this show is so fixed & no matter who he picks, it’s all just for show anywayz!! He was already engaged when he did flavor of love 2 & dat’s why he never called deelicious fat a$$ back! his fiance is pregnant & prolly already had his 8th kid by now & he had to go ahead wit tha 3rd flavor of love cuz he had already cashed da check they gave his broke a$$! Hotlanta got eliminated for telling tha truth! I liked Bunz da most & hope Seesonz winz even tho she won’t get a call back either lol
peace
