Here’s what Claudia has to say about the show and her bossy, condescending teammates:
“It’s ironic that the one person EVERYONE had a problem with is defending herself so much to the point of lying. She says that “Claudia Jordan didn’t do anything,” which couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a 2 hour show. Thus…..soooo much was left out.
My team was divided in two sub teams. I was on the design team. I helped design the t-shirts, the logo we used, and was involved in every aspect. Funny, that the one who says I did little was ONLY involved in baking because after I was done with my sub team… I returned back to the kitchen and helped Annie and company bake some more cupcakes (since she was involved in the batch that was ruined). I also frosted, added sprinkles, cleaned the kitchen and boxed em up while Annie was busy bossing everyone around.
And… what you don’t see on the show is that after everyone went home to rest… I went to do my Sirius radio show and promoted the event and got tons of people to come on down and lots of people actually showed up who are listeners to my show ‘The Claudia Jordan Show’ on Foxxhole! Special thanks to Carlos, Ryan, Eric Benet, Kerry Rhodes of the Jets, Frank Cross, Kelly Kelo, Kevin Watson and all the people that YOU personally sent down to me. I don’t know how many thousands of dollars that equated to, but I know it was a lot and although I didn’t have one BIG donor, I did have tons of smaller ones and their money is just as good as anyone elses.
Also not on the show… I was up and down the street wrangling people to come to our bake sale. I basically forced people to buy cupcakes who had NO INTENTIONS on doing so. So, for this woman to claim I did nothing…she is more out of her mind than I originally noticed!
I worked my butt off! So much so that I got sick…check episode 2. I worked hard; I just didn’t make it a point of grabbing the cameras to watch my every move. With 8 of us and a few cameras—everyone can’t be on camera all the time. Though, those with the biggest mouths…made sure they were on at all times!
Sorry-but I have always been one to tell nothing but the truth! Please check back for more behind the scenes dirt–and TRUST– right here on HOLLYWIRE” (Claudia Jordan)

Wow, what a great story, don’t let the lazy losers get you down! Claudia, if you ever want to organize a bake sale in China, I’m your man!

Choose your battles wisely.

CJ,
As short as the show was from an audience point of view, I could see that you were working your butt off! I could see the seriousness in your swag to listen, give input, and be a team player helping your team win. You are far from lazy and very much a true leader. I know it can be a bit much dealing with bratty and catty women, but please be and continue to personify the lovely lady that you are. You are right! You are a grown ass woman and don’t need anyone being anal on how to put frosting on a cupcake. WTF?? Every short scene showed that you were handling your teams business, which is a big reason why you guys won. Plus being your teams cupcakes tasted better helped too. :) I know you will be on your toes to be sure the truth is told in the future board meetings. Good luck and keep bringing heat. ~V

I watched and thought you were gonna knock her out. I know I wanted to. She reminds me of those kids in school who have to point out everyone’s faults all the time to get on the teachers good side, ya know. Ya’ll need to get rid of her
Good job Claudia, you da bomb gurlfren.

Hey Claudia, you were funny on the first episode, I love that you always KEEP IT REAL!! I hope you make it far into the competition!!! Can’t wait for the nxt episode.
March 3rd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Claudia can bake me a cupcake any day. And I wouldn’t even care how it tastes.

Boo, However this pans out, I’m so very proud. I’ve watched you successfully clear yet another hurdle on the track of life. When we first started corresponding almost a decade ago, you were a temporary model on The Price Is Right. Today, you stand as an “ELITE” player on the world stage of primetime TV. A dramatic upward turn for sure. Because you implant such a visual impression, you may be deemed as the No 1 chicken in the hen-house. This environment may make it most difficult for you to thrive in, so winning it all will be a tall order indeed. One thing is for certain, feathers will soon be flying(LOL). BEST OF LUCK!!!
Luv Ya Always,
Terry

Of course a reality TV show is gonna focus on the dramatic ones so that they can get their 15 minutes of fame. But I love how you are a REAL person and don’t just make up drama. Keep your head up, girl!

I love Claudia and I am so glad she finally got on the show. She is beautiful and smart, TMZ and Perez have no idea what they are talking about. I hope she wins!!

i was there to witness you work hard to get people to buy and donate to your charity. In the short moment seeing you there, you worked very hard to gain as much donors to contribute to the charity.
March 4th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Keep smiling Claudia. You did a great job, and the charity you support is Wonderful. I hope you raise a lot of funds by Winning.

It’s going to be an awesome season!!!

Sorry about the loss Claudia – you had a tough task in front of you. I think you had a chance to escape the boardroom unscathed, but here was the defining moment from what I could see: when you were challenged that you brought Melissa in the boardroom because you didn’t like her, you should have countered that you brought her in not because you didn’t like her, but instead when you have a divisive force on your workforce (which nobody fessed up to), you have to remove that person to reestablish group harmony. That could have eliminated the opinion that you were emotional – instead, you were strategic. Anyway, I know you’re that much stronger through this experience. Great job!

you are a big bitch on the show, not sure if you’ve watched yourself but you should be ashamed of yourself. You talk about how immature Melissa is and how obnoxious she is, but damn girl, do you not see the way YOU acted? You’re 35 years old, gonna be soon an old hag, why don’t you grow up and learn to be respectful of other people.
