In the United States, viewers don't get to see a lot of things we can show in other countries. We didn't get to show our naked Twister game from Wild On Jamaica, but we definitely filmed it.

Never get pushed down by the people that don't like you. Act that you are getting down by them, but keep going for your dreams and objectives of life.
