Melissa Reyes was a big part of the drama on the season finale of The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. Despite being praised by judge Ron Fair for having the best “package” with her dancing, singing, personality and looks, her final performance was not strong enough to garner her a spot as the next Pussycat Doll. This first runner-up was prepared for the decision, however, and chatted with our friends at BuddyTV about her experience on the show, the drama of the house and her bright future ahead.

On the season finale you and Asia obviously had some serious tension and you guys were going at each other. What do you think sparked all that drama between you two?

Honestly what sparked the drama was immaturity in the house. I mean, so we were in Vegas, no it wasn?t Vegas, it was CDUSA; me, Asia, and Melissa performing as Pussycat Dolls. And Chelsea and Anastacia were left in the bus and I made a comment saying, ?Aren?t you guys happy that you guys have each other?? And I meant like, misery loves company, thank god there?s not one of you there?s two of you. And Melissa buts into the conversation and goes, ?What are you talking about? There?s another Chelsea?? So it started from that like Melissa S. would always come in to conversations and but in, you know? There would be conversation and she would just go at it, she would just get in the way. Not that it?s a bad thing but she?d just do that sometimes.
