Shout out to my girls Sandra and Frances 2 of my bestest friends from high school and also from Pompano Beach, Florida. So what does any of this have to do with Bullrun? Well, settle yourself in and I will tell you.

It goes a little something like this: Don’t start none and there won’t be none. Where I’m from, you mind your own business until someone makes your business theirs. Once they decide to try you like a free sample — it’s on. I’m not really one to go around picking fights, but let me tell you, if you start a fight with me or come at me with an attitude, I will oblige and finish it. That’s how we get down in Pompano. It’s a rough part of town and if you act soft, you get taken advantage of. Survival of the fittest.

As it pertains to my life now a days: I’m a woman in this mans industry. Boobs are a sign of weakness. I am assertive and I stand my ground….because I have to or else I get taken advantage of.  Survival of the fittest. Thank goodness for all of the lessons I learned growing up in good ole Pompano Beach. Because had I grown up in Beverly Hills, I’m not quite sure I would survive in this industry for 1 second and I wouldn’t trade my life for any one else’s. I happen to love my position.

Anyhow, lots of people have noticed that I have quite the crappy attitude on the show and there seems to be a lot of hate for Team Lexus going around these days. Let me just say, I think it’s hilarious! Thus far we have been called fat sweaty pig narcs, whores, sluts, all that and a bag of stale chips, etc. Use your imagination and we have been called every middle school name in the book. For me, it’s publicity. My band of haters just don’t realize how they do their part to feed my ego — the ego that they love to hate.

The thing that most people take for granted while watching the show is that there are 48 hours jammed into a 1 hour show. Each team gets about 1-3 minutes of air time per show. Open your mind a little and I don’t have to tell you how a TV show works. It’s the producers job to pick out the “best” moments to air. Most of the time they err on the side of drama. Probably because the viewers make it obvious that’s what they want to watch. How do we know this? Ratings, of course. For me, hind sight is 20/20, so I can understand the public opinion. I have always watched reality TV without thinking too much about the way it actually works and how much time has to be crunched  into a show.

Bullrun was hard as hell. It’s hard on your mind, body and soul. It’s like the Survivor of car shows except that when you watch Survivor, it is painfully obvious that they are being put through hell. With Bullrun it just looks like all fun and games mixed in with some jokers and some villains. The fact is, what they show is “real”. I certainly am displaying my distaste for what is going on out there. It’s unfortunate that I can’t share all of my insight from behind the scenes, but what I can tell you is that I am really not one to take certain crap too kindly. I was naive and it was very easy for me to fall into exactly what the producers needed — drama. Those of you who know me personally know this is what I do best. Once I feel slighted, it gets ugly and everyone will know about it. I am the kind of girl who will take on a cause for the whole group and that’s what happened with Bullrun. I openly expressed our distaste for a lot of things and the cameras are always rolling. The thing I never thought about while I was out there was the editing booth. I lived under the assumption that the whole story would be told and that everyone watching would know where I was coming from and agree. Again, I was naive.

So, that brings us to the biggest topic of the episode 4. I am about to answer the question that everyone has been asking. Did Team Lexus (me specifically) call the cops on Team Lambo? The answer is HELL TO THE NAW! Let me break it down for you:

1. I am from Pompano and we handle our business face to face, not via the po po and I have handled my fair share of business….face to face.
2. I started off in this industry 10 years ago as a street racer (tsk tsk). One thing that everyone hates in the street racing scene is the police. It never even crossed my mind to do anything to the Wu’s besides talk junk, much less call the police on them. I am just not that kind of girl.
3. I have a reputation to protect and a life to live after the show. The last thing I  would want is for the whole dang world to think I called the police on someone for basically nothing. Had you stabbed my man, I may call the police on you, but over “calling me out”….um not so much. It’s just not that serious to me. As you can tell, I was laughing after it happened. I thought it was cute. So cute in fact that Wu and I had a moment after (repost):

Now, onto a little sleuthing I did. This could very well get me in trouble, but I need to save the one part of my Bullrun reputation that I actually care about so far. I found this cute little website that the Sacramento PD has. Good thing for me their slogan is, “A partnership with the community.” They take that slogan so seriously that they even have this page that documents all of the activity that the PD has everyday so the community can keep tabs on where their tax dollars go: http://www.sacpd.org/dailyactivity/ If you go back to the month of September 2009, the time where we were in Sacramento (specifically around the 22nd and 23rd or so), you will be able to read that there was no police activity that resembles what went on Team Lambo (unless I just somehow overlooked it even though I checked several times). Some nay sayers might go along with Team Lambo’s story of the police breaking their “very expensive sun visor” during a search of their car and escorting them out of town in lieu of having to deal with that. Well, all of us with common sense know that this just wouldn’t happen…especially in front of TV cameras. If they did, I would have to assume they would have at least reported their activity and it would be on the site.

Anyhow, I ‘m not going to beat a dead horse over it. I just figured I would put the public record out there and hope to clear my name a little. What’s done is done and I know in my heart that neither Emilie or I called the police on the Wu’s.  If I did, I would have spoken up and laughed about it with the other cast members. I’m not really too good at keeping my mouth shut, as we all very well know. Love me or hate me, I keeps it real (and I kind of can’t even help it). Don’t act brand new —  like I didn’t warn you with my Bullrun profile.

If you want to read about my take on last weeks challenge, you can read the blog post I made earlier this week on the topic.

Here is the Episode 5 commercial. Should be quite interesting! As you’ll see, Team Lambo and Team Lexus will have some private time out on the open road. I’m excited to see how this episode comes out. Should be a pretty fun one:

And as always, join me and some possible random other folks as we get drunk and watch Bullrun via my Live Broadcasting channel.  Click here to join in on the chat. I’m usually on around 9 or 9:30 pm EST. See ya then!
