Beat you by 3 months bitch

http://www.survivorsucks.com/topic/39532

There was an interview on Essence.com where she was asked about her experience on the Apprentice..

ESSENCE.COM: We need more T-Boz sightings! The last time we saw you was in Times Square during a taping of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" raising money for a charity. How have you been?

T-BOZ: I'm doing great. I'm healthy and happy. And I love raising awareness and money for kids. The show was interesting and I loved experiencing new things, but I wouldn't do it again.

The article is titled, "I'm not homeless".

Another interview with T-boz .. or "T" or "T-own" as Trump has grown to call her..

Donald Trump probably knows TLC as the cable network, not the biggest female group of the 1990s.

In fact, the host of "Celebrity Apprentice" (season two debuting Sunday on NBC at 9 p.m.) had trouble pronouncing Atlanta's own Tionne "T Boz" Watkins' first name. Watkins said he kept saying "T-own" instead of of the proper "T-on." So after awhile, he just called her "T."

Hip hop "is probably not part of his world," she mused in a phone interview Tuesday.

But Watkins said she did not go out of her way to kiss his tuckus. Plus, "I didn't Omarosa it," she said, turning one of the most infamous "Apprentice" contestants of yore into a verb. Compared to the likes of Andrew "Dice" Clay and Dennis Rodman, "I made boring TV."

Rather, she focused on making sure the Sickle Cell Foundation was front and center, not her ego. What makes her charity hit so close to home is she was born with Sickle Cell and has had to cope with the fatigue and a weak immune system all her life. See her video below:

"I don't believe in arguing with strangers," she said. "I argue with people I care about. I can't get mad about a job I don't do for a living." At the same time, she said she won't let anyone disrespect her and she will bite back.

Watkins had the most trouble with poker champ Annie Dukes. "She's a cool person but she doesn' t have people skills. It's not what you say but how you say it. She'd say, "Get that!" instead of "Will you please get that?"

You won't see much of T-Boz in the first episode Sunday. She said she had a sinus infection and a 102 degree fever through that first challenge and she hardly said anything. She got annoyed when Dukes in the first challenge called her out in front of Trump for supposedly not working hard enough, then acted all concerned off camera.

"I respect Donald Trump but I'm not going to make an [bleep] out of myself."

In the boardroom, some contestants felt they had to tell Trump every little thing they did to prove their worth. She didn't. "They'd overtalk, trying to sound intellectual, being loud and saying nothing," she said. "Shut up! I've been on TV for 17 years. I don't have to fight for camera time. If you want me to get the job done, I'll do it. I was there to raise money." (She said she did raise money for Sickle Cell research, which means at one point she won a challenge as project manager.)

The great thing for her is she didn't have to live with the other celebrities such as "Surreal Life." ("I'm not the roommate type!") Rather, she got to go to a hotel at the end of each day and be with her daughter Chase and her mom. Problem: the shooting days were really long, sometimes 16 hours or more. They'd often wake up at 4 a.m. for makeup and hair and not get back to the hotel until after 9:30 p.m. "They kept you tired and hungry," she said, a recipe for good TV because people are more apt to blow up.

Watkins said once her sinus infection was over, she didn't get sick again on the show. But she says she often gets sick when the seasons change. She was became ill when on tour with TLC. She said she tries her best to take care of herself and takes lots of vitamins and prays a lot.

TLC hasn't performed in three years but they are doing a show in Japan, where the group is ultra popular, for some crazy money. (Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes shows up on screen.) "Overseas is where the money's at," she said. "I have a kid. I'm not leaving Chase for a penny."

As for "Celebrity Apprentice" itself, the show will be airing two-hour episodes instead of one. This indicates a bit how desperate NBC is this year. Plus, it clearly makes the cost of doing the show much more inviting.

Not sure of the source, got it off a message board.

From Tboz on the first episode @ CyberTLC website:

"Hi everyone. If you caught the first episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, let me know what you honestly think. I didn't talk much that episode because I had the worst sinus infection and working out on the streets with a 102 temp. But what they didn't show was how I sold $14,000 dollars worth of cup cakes. I was the 3rd person to sale the most cupcakes. LA Reid (Def JAM) came down a bought a $5,000 cupcake and Steve Rifkind also bought 1 cupcake for $5,000 dollars. And the other $4,000 came from me hustling on the streets getting people to buy them. But if you don't keep up drama they don't show you as much and they want to try and make it exciting tv. But if you do what you were supposed to like I did and work hard that's called boring tv. Those who want to see more of the (more) popular Celebs should blog on the NBC Celebrity Apprentice blog site and vote. Tell them too show T-boz more. Ha Ha! As you can all see Annie Duke is an ass, yes I said it. Anyway I do start talking more around the 3rd challenge. Thank you for your support and I'll give you an update on the behind the scenes as to what really happened every MON after the show airs". T-Boz
