So, I haven’t really said much about the episode itself. I love the fact that we were able to share our story with the MTV viewing audience. It would appear that the syndications of the episode have received more viewership than the original episode itself. I didn’t realize it would be so… popular. Since the original show aired, I have done an interview with Complex magazine and been featured on other websites that had their own opinions of the show (my fave). The recognition is surreal. I never thought that so many people would tune in. Corey and I have been recognized everywhere from the mall, Auto Zone, a nurse at the doctor’s office! It’s always unexpected, but I’m beginning to get quite used to that familiar stare followed by whispers of, “I know her from somewhere…” Thanks for all of you that tuned it. One thing that I do ask is that you take it with a grain of salt. Filming occurred over a 4.5 month period for total 21 minutes of my story on TV. Things were edited and watered down and/or played up to make the most dramatic story possible. Corey and I play video games together ALL the time; he’s faaar from anti-video games. In fact, we met at a Halo 2 tournament. Also, Barry from the episode got his gamertag tattooed on him. I worked at GameStop when the show was being filmed. These are things they opted to leave out, so please don’t forget that it’s TV, not 100% how things are. Til next time…!
