Robin: Yeah, I've been so hands-on from day one, and I do everything. This group is like my baby, and they’re now like my family.
Tiffanie: We do so many things together, and Robin is there every step of the way. We have to be up at four in the morning and she’s there. Even if we're doing little things, no matter what time, how annoying, how boring, she is always there.
Robin: The girls lived in this loft and underneath were all the producers and myself. It was like them up there with all the cameras on and us watching on monitors below the whole time. So I’m sitting, getting my makeup done, getting my hair done, just chillin' while watching them as if it were already a reality show. They would be talking, arguing, screaming, dancing, singing, on the phone, crying to their boyfriends and mothers, and I'm just sitting there watching. That's how I got to know them. It's insane I got to know so much about them through that.

Nichole: It was exciting, but it didn't actually feel like it was me. I mean, as I was watching it, who knows — all of America could’ve been watching.
Natalie: It was the most vulnerable experience ever. When you're filming you can forget the cameras are on — so it's really crazy to look back and see all the cursing and the drama. You forget things — a lot of the times on the show I said such crazy things that I would just have to laugh at myself when I saw them later.
Tiffanie: For me, I was like, "Oh, my God, what am I going to say this week?" I was a pretty wild character on set. I was constantly doing crazy things. So I would embarrass my parents while they were sitting right next to me watching the show.
Chrystina: When you have a bunch of 18-year-old girls without their cell phones — there’s nothing to do but create drama. We were buggin' out. Then the producers take all the worst things you did and some of the good things and put them all together.
Robin: We all love reality shows because we love the drama. But the truth is, some reality shows have writers to help a little with that. But these girls were really in that mode. We were like, "God, we don't have to do anything to this show, ever!"

Natalie: We were still in competition when we all got off the show — so we all sat down at dinner and talked about it.
Tiffanie: We decided that if we fight, we're going to break up, and none of us wanted that.
Chrystina: It was really hard to drop the competitive thing at first, but we realized we had a lot more similarities than differences. And now the great thing about our group is that we really get along like sisters. A lot of girl groups pretend to have chemistry and that everything is perfect, but we really get along.
Natalie: If you watch us perform, you can see our crazy chemistry.
Tiffanie: I know that's a boring story to tell, but we really get along.
