I think after the third season, they told me that I can audition again. I did everything all over again and I went to anger management class, because I thought that would help me. It was great [when they gave me another chance] because I was thinking that these people saw something in me that I didn’t even see in me.
Do you have any advice for girls who can relate to your background and what you have been through?
I really can’t give too much advice to girls who are in similar situations. I can tell them to just get over it. Just take responsibility for your own actions…I used to blame a lot of things on other people. I understand that life is hard. Just try to get over it and do it step by step. I understand that life is hard. Deal with your anger by doing something positive. Don’t dwell on it too much or that’s all people will see you as -- that ghetto girl that fights all the time. Just get over it.
Who do think should win the competition?
Who I think should win and who I want to win are two different things. I’m rooting for Michelle. Go Michelle! But that damn Keenyah might win. I don’t want Keenyah to win! I’m sorry to say it but me and Keenyah had our times. Everybody else but Keenyah could win.
Why?
Me and Keenyah had our times. But then I watched the show and saw all those things she said about me behind my back! When we were in the house, it was “Oh, I love you Tiffany,” but then on the show she’s like doing her interviews and she’s like ‘Tiffany is this or that.’ That made me hate her! I want Michelle to win or Naima, .
Tell me what it was like working with Boris Kodjoe for your final challenge. That was funny!
I’m still not over that. What in the world? They made me have a missing tooth. And then they wanted me to speak with the Cockney accent in front of Boris. I humiliated myself. But it was fun. I got mad at Boris, because I was like ]You know I forgot my line so just skip the line. You’re doing this all the time.' He’s looking at me and I’m looking at him and he’s like “You’re beautiful.” It was one of the best times of my life just being around him.
Hey, you may end up guest-starring on his sitcom. Who knows?
Girl! They don’t need to do that. Put me somewhere else. Put me on a different sitcom. I’d be there [on his sitcom] with his wife there. She may want to beat me down! [laughs]
