Re: We are getting a divorce.
Stacey and Clinton walk back in the room and the crew put us in position. All of the chairs have been pushed to the back of the room and each one of us nominees are lined up in the front. We are standing in the same order that we were sitting in. April on the right, JoRae in the middle, and me on the end. Each one of us has all of our family behind us, waiting anxiously.
Standing directly behind me is Red, to my left behind me is my best friend and her husband, to my right behind me is my friend from kindergarten, behind her is my brother... the energy coming from the people standing behind me was enormous. I literally felt it pulsing from them to me and my nerves were shot. I was really sweating now and my heart was racing.
The microphone that was taped to my skin fell off from the dampness of my skin and everything had to be stopped in order to get fresh tape.
I was a mess.
The director reminds us that no matter who wins we should all smile and congratulate one another, we should really really try to be a good sport about it. Sure, whatever lady, just get on with it!
The director yells action and Stacey and Clinton open with, all 3 if you are in need of help. This is was very very very tough decision for us to make...
My heart is about to beat out of my chest!! My best friend is behind my squeezing my left buttcheck b/c she is so nervous! With every squeeze from her I jump a little b/c I am so on edge! Red is standing directly nehind me and I can feel his heartbeat pulsating off of his body. Sweat is dripping down my neck and under my breast. I am soaked.
Clinton and Stacey are both looking at me. They look away why they are speaking but it flash they are looking at me again. Was this a good sign? Are they trying to let me down gentley? Are they trying to throw me off? Are they so good at this they know how to look at one person while addressing someone else? Red is standing behind me and he whispers, Boundie, they keep looking at you! Stacey and Clinto go on and on about how we all need help and how they hope this show has opened our eyes... bla bla bla. I am thinking PLEASE! get on with it!!!!! I cannot take this one second longer, my heart is going to explode, I am going to run out of sweat and dry up like a prune in front of the camera, please please please tell me who won!!
"So it is with great pride we announce Boundbrook as worst dressed woman in D.C. and the receipent of $5,000 spending money on a new wardrobe! I am handed a Vise credit card with my name on it by Clinton.
The whole of my group screams and jumps up and down. Red yells the loudest and his arms go straight up in the air. My hands go over my face and I am smiling like I just had a new set of teeth. I am also crying and laughing and trying to keep my hands from my face. I can not believe it!
But wait... Stacey grabs the card back from me and says there is a twist. I must agree to listen to their rules about what I should be wearing and I must agree to stick to their rules and not by clothes I would normally by.
Fine!!!! Whatever!!! I will eat a lit firecracker if I have to, just give me back the credit card!!!!!
The card is handed back to me and there is a big celebration from my camp. The cameras are on me the whole entire time and I am in complete shock.
Next Stacey and Clinton hand JoRae and April a credit card with $1,000 on it and say that no one goes home empty handed and they are free to spend the money on whatever they please. It was suggested that April by clothing that wasn't skin tight and JoRae by clothing from this decade.
Once the cards have been handed out and I thank Stacey and Clinton a million times, the host leave the room. The camera's are still rolling. I go to JoRae and tell her that she was excellent competetion and I enjoyed meeting her. I looked around the room for April and couldn't find her. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Apparently she was in the hall with her family and they were incredibly unhappy. I heard things coming from the hallway like "6 hours here and for what!!! for what!!!
By the time I made it to the hallway to congratulate April on her $1,000 and try to talk to her some about the experience, she was gone. I don't think she was very happy about the whole turnout. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I go back into the room and am standing around talking to my family and friends as well as Jo Rae and her family. I am dancing and acting like a fool, all the while the camera's are rolling.
I am pulled aside and told I have to do one more interview, this time outside, where I have to talk about how it feels to have won. I am still shaking and sweating and grinning from ear to ear. I can't believe this is happening to me!
I give Red a big old hug and thank him for all of this. I thank each friend and family member that was there and feel incredibly lucky to have friends and family like this in my life.
