Maybe we’re too hard on reality stars. Sure, they’re generally narcissistic and walk around with a pseudo-importance during, and even years after, their 15 minutes of fame are up. But how many of us would turn down the opportunity to spend a summer in an LA mansion, being VIP at every club, and of course, drinking from a seemingly unlimited supply of alcohol provided by the show’s producers. I’d say, “Fuck my internship,” too.

Everyone you see partying, fighting, crying, bitching and ultimately building alliances to “survive” on reality TV has their own reason for auditioning — and Charlotte native Kendra James’ was a whim.
She decided to road trip from Greensboro, where she was in college, with her girls to attend an open casting call in Charlotte, and after months of calls backs she found herself on season four of Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club. Sounds way hotter than the Biggest Loser.
We recently caught up with the Queen City resident turned reality show hottie and talked about her TV experience.

Creative Loafing: How long was the audition process for the Bad Girls Club?

Kendra: I started doing The Real World. I did seven interviews with Real World, and then they called me and said you didn’t make the Real World but do you want to try the Bad Girls Club and then I had three or four interviews with the Bad Girls Club.

Was it hard for you to drop everything and say, “I’m gonna go out here and live with a bunch of girls on TV”?

Well, Initially it was over the summer, so it was easy. I wasn’t in school, I didn’t really have any obligations, so it really easy for me to say I want to take this opportunity. But it ended up going over into the school year, so I had to push back my graduation date. I definitely wouldn’t change anything, but it definitely changed my plans a little bit.

WHEN NATALIE NUNN opened the Celebrity Bound Boutique on Main Street two years ago, she had no idea she would find herself literally 'celebrity-bound' on the fast track to becoming a sweetheart of reality TV.

Natalie, 24, stars on the fourth season of "Bad Girls Club," which premiered Monday on the Oxygen Network and is now showing every Tuesday at 10 p.m. Even though this makes her an official bad girl of the Hollywood scene, she hasn't cut ties yet with Pleasanton.

Natalie grew up on the Peninsula, and her parents Earl and Karen Nunn moved to Pleasanton five years ago. At the time, she was attending USC, where she played soccer all four years.

After graduating with a double major in sociology and communications two years ago, she relocated to Pleasanton and opened her boutique. She loved running it, but also knew her personality was made for reality TV.

"I hadn't seen the first few seasons but heard about the show. I sent a tape, and they had me come down for interviews. I went through the process but didn't give up. I was honest when I auditioned — it was just me," Natalie said.
