Pumkin (Brooke Thompson) will always be known as the girl who spit on New York (Tiffany Pollard), which practically made the first season of Flavor of Love good for TV.  At the time, Pumkin’s failure to tell Flavor Flav about her past appearance on Blind Date led to her elimination at the end of the episode and during the elimination ceremony, a near-brawl occurred between her and New York when Pumkin claimed New York was an aspiring actress.  New York, on the other hand, claimed that Pumkin was calling her out so Pumkin then spit in New York’s face, and then ran away.

Two years later, Pumkin was cast in yet another VH1 reality series, this time on I Love Money. Unfortunately, people still associate Pumkin with saliva.  And while that’s an odd correlation, Pumkin doesn’t seem to mind as she credits her spitting incident for her new found fame.

“If I had a dollar for every person who’s said, ‘I’m so glad you spit on New York,’ I would be a millionaire,” Pumkin said in an interview with VH1.

“Hoopz may have won [the first season of] Flavor of Love, but when people think about that show, they think of Pumkin and New York.  Hoopz was known for being pretty and that’s all she did on the show. I’m glad, because New York has done well for herself and I’m known as the girl who spit on her.  I mean, it’s gross, but if I wouldn’t have done it, I don’t think either of us would have been as popular as we are right now,” she explained.

Sadly, Pumkin was eliminated on the most recent episode of I Love Money, the show that features contestants from the first two seasons of Flavor of Love, I Love New York and Rock of Love as they compete in physical and mental challenges in an attempt to win $250,000.  During her stint on I Love Money, she made some allies and, as expected, made a few enemies, one of which is Megan, whom she clashed with from the very start.

“I don’t mind people who talk s***, that’s cool, but say it to my face.  Don’t whisper.  Don’t try to be a conniving little backstabbing bitch. Just tell me. I think that’s the hardest part.  On Flavor of Love, the girls were really cutthroat, just, ‘You’re a f***ing bitch,’ straight to your face, not whispering, ‘Oh. Saggy boobs.’ I just don’t like people like that,” she said.

Picking up from where episode 10 left off, all the remaining contestants, minus Hoopz, return to the vault to vote somebody else into the box, due to Brandi C. quitting. Toastee is voted into the box by everyone else but Pumkin. Back at elimination, Hoopz saves Real first, as he is still her friend, even if she did say no to his proposal. Toastee is eliminated because Hoopz can’t trust her and she thinks she’s responsible for Chance’s elimination. Toastee gets her check voided and gets mad that Megan got her way. Real talks to his brother Chance on the phone and talks about Hoopz, and his brother says Whiteboy might be infatuated with her and advises Real to take him out. The next day, it’s their next challenge: “You Booze, You Loose”, which is based on all the VH1 shows where the contestants get drunk and then pass out. The contestant must spin around in a chair twenty times, then walk on a platform, without stepping on any cups, or it will result in a penalty, which will add onto the total time, and then go back on the chair and spin again for another twenty times, then they have to drink a bunch of drinks, then spit it in a toilet, then kiss a person, and then they cross the finish line. The person with the fastest time will be Pay Master while the person with the slowest time will automatically be put in the box. In the end, Hoopz got the fastest time and was Pay Master again for the 2nd time in a row, which was the first time that’s happened, while Pumkin did the worse and was automatically put in the box. Back at the house, Real tells Hoopz that he claims that he heard Whiteboy called Hoopz an insulting name (which Real has also learned from Chance), and Hoopz is offended and truly believes it. Hoopz, Real, and Whiteboy talk about the issue and Hoopz still doesn’t believe Whiteboy, and Whiteboy feels hurt and accuses Real of setting him up to eliminate him from their “love triangle.” In the vault, nobody wants to vote, so they agree to let Hoopz make the decision on who will join Pumkin in the box. Hoopz picks Megan and Whiteboy. On the power outing, the four contenders go on a yacht ride. Hoopz considers getting rid of Pumkin because she went against the alliance and eliminated Chance. Megan thinks she’s safe because Hoopz gave her her word last episode, but Hoopz says that was once in a lifetime. Pumkin and Megan fight about Chance’s elimination. On the one on one, Hoopz picks Whiteboy, wanting to find out more about his side of the story. Whiteboy continues to address that he didn’t do anything and that Real is setting him up. Hoopz tells him she feels hurt about his comment to her earlier in their conversation that she’s a stranger to him. Whiteboy apologized to her and thinks he might be in trouble come elimination time. Before elimination, Real prepares a date with Hoopz and they talk about her decision. Real continues to blather on and on about why he loves her. Hoopz finally understands what’s going on. At elimination, the first person Hoopz saves is Megan. Then Hoopz calls up Whiteboy and tearfully tells him the suppose comment really hurt her, especially when she’s been tight with him since the beginning. Hoopz believes Whiteboy didn’t really say anything bad behind her back and accepts his apology he gave her, and he’s safe. Pumkin thought she was safe because Hoopz and her were friends since Flavor of Love, but Hoopz tells her that going against her alliance and sending home Chance wasn’t trustworthy, making it easier for Hoopz to eliminate her and Pumkin gets her check voided.
