On doing her part to win the battle of the sexes: "I challenged a very cocky firefighter to a one-arm pushups contest at Myrtle beach. If I won, he had to pay for my friend and I to ride on a banana boat in the ocean. I did 10 on each arm, he did a few on one arm and gave up. The boat ride was a blast!!"
