The Celebreality Interview - Megan

If brevity is the soul of wit, Megan must be the wittiest person we’ve ever interviewed on this blog. (They don’t call her an evil genius for nothing!) Below is a rapid-fire interview, in which Megan kept me on my toes by answering questions with as few words as possible. Maybe she’s question-dodging, but the overwhelming feeling I took away from this interview (which was conducted in-person, by the way) wasn’t that she was particularly elusive — it’s more that she doesn’t take herself seriously enough to go on and on about things like her s***-talking, her attraction to Whiteboy, the nature of her relationship with Brandi and her retarded dog. To wit, almost all of these answers were punctuated with a laugh.

From her time on the show, it’s clear that Megan’s well-versed in the art of the sound bite. Below, she just practices her craft.

When you were Paymaster, what the hell was going on? What had you so twisted at elimination?

(Laughs) There was a lot of drinking going on!

Just drinking? It seemed like a haze.

Haha. Maybe something else. I was too drunk to remember.

When it came time for the jury and you quit, it read like you can dish out but you can’t take it.

That’s not true at all. There’s nothing to take!

You weren’t the least bit intimidated that you were going to have to answer to the people that you admitted to having a hand in eliminating?

I was not answering to those people. I turned it around on them.

Yeah, but that was the setup. Was this just a power thing?

Yes.

You always have to be in control?

No (laughs).

I thought it was weird that you said you didn’t come to win, you just came to play the game.

I never thought I was going to win. I just thought the show would be fun and it was.

It’s kind of crazy that you attacked appearing on a reality show as a sport.

I know!

At the Rock of Love 2 reunion, I accused you of talking s***, but you told me that you were just honest. How do you distinguish between s*** talking and honesty?

I think that I can say whatever I want to say! (Laughs) I don’t have to defend myself.

Right, but if you talk s***, why not own it?

But I don’t talk s***.

What’s the difference?

It’s not hurtful. It’s not meant to be hurtful. It’s not meant like, I’m trying to talk s*** to you. I’m just being accurate.

Accurate in your opinion.

Pointing out the pure facts, that’s it.

But it’s subjective, right?

Who cares?

What did you think of Whiteboy’s “hard candy” interview?

(Laughs) I think that it was f***ed up.

Why? Was it untrue?

Of course.

When you revealed your attraction to him, was that a result of him having so much power in the house, or were you legitimately attracted to him physically?

You know…I’m not sure. (Laughs) I don’t know what exactly that was. It’s complicated. I don’t understand it myself. (Laughs)

Very rarely on this show were you not in control. You were, to put it in Celebreality terms, the master manipulator.

Mastermind!

Did you think you were the star of the show?

I am the star.

How was that? I never watched Beauty and the Geek, but I know that you won, so you were obviously a big part of that show. But was being the star of I Love Money a different experience for you?

Yeah. With Beauty and the Geek, they wanted to bring out the good in you. This show was the opposite. It brought out the worst in you.

Any thoughts on flirting with 12 Pack?

I flirted with everybody. Everybody flirted with everybody.

You didn’t flirt with Rodeo.

No. But I’m sure she would want me to.

What about Brandi? Would you have sex with her?

No! I don’t have sex with girls.

You’re awfully close. If you had to have sex with a girl, would you pick Brandi?

No! (Laughs hysterically.) I could never, under any circumstances. We share a bed. But it’s a full-size bed.

You stroked her.

I was drunk!

Is that your excuse for everything?

Well, it is a big part of things.

At one point you cried and you said, “I’m just misunderstood.” Can you elaborate on that? I thought your motives were very clear.

I didn’t realize them.

That brings up a good point: it seems so often like you’re in control, it seems like you’re running things. When you went back and watched the show, were you surprised at just how much of an H.B.I.C. that you were?

I didn’t realize that no one else was doing anything but sitting around. No one suspected anything about the secret alliance.

12 Pack said you weaseled your way into the Top 3. Do you agree?

Weaseled? I don’t like that word. But nobody blamed anyone for using their muscles during challenges. Why are they blaming me for being smarter than them? They’re just sore losers.

Was it gross to massage Mr. Boston, and to a lesser extent, the Entertainer?

No.

Did you enjoy it?

No, I didn’t enjoy it, but I wasn’t doing it for fun. It had a purpose and it worked.

What do you have to say to people who look down on you for using your sexuality as a tool for getting what you want?

I would say that jealousy is a disease.

There are nasty rumors circulating about you using this method on certain producers. Dallas wrote a blog post…

I never read it. What’d it say?

It intimated that you hooked up with someone powerful behind the scenes and that’s why you’re on so many of these shows. I wonder if you have a statement on that.

It’s absolutely, completely untrue.

When you’re on the show, are you out to make good TV?

No. I’m not like Mr. Boston, who does his little act for the TV. I don’t think about that at all.

Having everyone talk to Lily, that wasn’t for our enjoyment?

It was just natural.

Rodeo told me that you dropped Lily on the head and that’s why she’s retarded. Is that true?

That is not true. It may have added, but… (laughs). She jumped out of my arms when she was a baby and she hit her head. It was an accident. My mom told me that I jumped out of her arms when I was a baby, too.
