As you know by now, Mike Barber, aka Mic Barber, and Suzanne Siegel won the coveted assistant positions on last night’s season finale of VH1’s reality series “I Want To Work For Diddy.”
To be honest, I was informed weeks ago that Kim “Poprah” Kierney won — and this came from a trusted insider. But I should have known Poprah couldn’t have won if she was spotted tooling around Atlanta in her Hummer all Summer.
Anyway, we’re very happy that Mike won because he deserved it. We don’t feel the same about Suzanne, who was carried throughout the series by the other contestants — including Mike.
But, hey, it’s just a reality show and not real life. If it were real life, Mike would have reported to work by now.
But in this interview with our friend Rich over at the VH1 blog, Mike says: “We haven’t been in contact with anyone from Bad Boy. Knowing Mr. Combs, by the time the finale has aired, we’ll get a call from him saying, ‘Report to work.'”
We doubt you’ll get that call, Mike. Knowing Sean Combs, he’ll have his people call you for photo ops or promotion for another one of his shows. But we hope you’re drawing a check from Bad Boy while you sit and wait for that call.

Mike also discussed his obvious feelings for fellow contestant Kendra: “Kendra and I were close. I’m not going to go as far as to say “romantic.” Kendra, Brianna and I were close. When Brianna got eliminated, it left me and Kendra to grow. Kendra didn’t want to open up to anybody else, and as the show started to stress her out more, she felt like she could talk to me.”
On why he voted for Kendra to go home:
I would do it all over again. Going into that room, my mind was set on Boris going up for elimination. It was time for him to go home. But as he began to talk, as we all began to talk, my opinion changed. Capricorn asked me cumulatively speaking who should go home. To me, it had to be Kendra. My integrity was on the line. Should I not pick Kendra just because she’s my friend? Or do I pick Boris just because I don’t like him? I felt like Kendra and I were so close, I didn’t think that would make or break our relationship. The way I feel is that if you want friends and alliances, watch I Love Money.
His views on Poprah:
I knew from the start that there was something about her that just wasn’t right. I tried to get along with her. She spends a lot of time hating other people and I think it’s because she’s lonely. She’s been fighting all her life. I have a great deal of respect for her because we come from the same place. I wish we could have had a better relationship. But she found a way of making people love to hate her part of her career. I appreciate all the support and publicity that she gave Suzanne and I in her blogs. There’s no such thing as bad press, as long as you keep spelling my name right.

And someone posted that spoiler in the comments section of your blog too. I’m so glad it turned out to be wrong so I could be surprised at the end. I’m so glad Mike won. Diddy needs to at least allow them to get a year of work experience under him. I agree with you that Suzanne did absolutely nothing to earn the win. That may have been more about her education than anything else.
As I said earlier I didnt think Susan should have won but its just a reality show, Mike on the other hand, I hope he start working somewhere real soon, knowing Bad Boy track record ummm I dont think he is gonna get paid. As for as Pophrah goes I like her I think that she can be annoying at times but at the same time felt like she kept it real.
I was relieved Mike won…I was glad Kim got cut – you’r eright, she has exceeded Omarosa in being the most disliked reality personality.
You know when I watched lastnight I was thinking I hope they have some type of contract that keeps them working for @ least a year. Puffy is a souless man. I think he is going to break up DK because MTV isn’t going to foot the bill anymore.
When Kim got fired that shyt was funnnnyy. She thought she was the best of the best. Talking about one day Puff may work for her. If you so successful why are you on the show?
Donald Trump did the same thing for the first winner of “The Apprentice”. Trump got slack for not having a job for the winner so I guess it lit a fire under his ass. These Reality Shows are keeping the media hoe in the spotlight while giving someone their 15 minutes of fame.
I think Mike deserved the win, but Suzanne, Diddy knows better. He watched the film….he seen the devestation she made out of a party for that one challange, she’s an accountant that can’t manage money. She had the nerve to save the envelope of money that POPRAH hustled up on the street to use in her presentation to get the job!!! That alone was enough for an elimination if you ask me! I would say Stephanie did more work than Suzanne, and on top of that Suzanne is just LAME, degrees and all,I don’t give a Damn! what the hell is Suzanne going to do as Diddy’s assistant besides get FIRED?
I was surprised lil Miss Stephanie didn’t get let go a long time ago. She didn’t know about anything…a “roller dice”?????????? lmao. I was made she said that. I was soooo relieved when he stopped the plane and had Mike join. I pray it goes well with the brotha. Hell, if Diddy doesn’t make use of him, someone else will. He was dedicated since day one.
Hey Sandra was up with this Nas & Kelis sex tape that floating around?
I heard a few weeks back from a very reliable source that they were done. I guess this is why.
Will this be the next R Kelly sex tape. Available in a store near you!

Yes gyrl…she didn’t know what the hell was going on half of the time. She flew under the radar and that pissed me off…someone more deserving should have had that spot. Brianna or Laverne should have been in the final 3…
I’m glad Mike won…but Suzanne is very questionable lol. Like she would get the job done BUT I just feel like she wouldn’t be a good fit…it seems like Diddy’s personality would definitely overwhelm her.
I guess it doesn’t really matter who won anyways…seeing how Bad Boy didn’t even call them to work. Diddy is such an azz…talk about misleading others for your personal gain, he is a true master of bullshyyyt.
i’m not the most athletic but i swear i tried to do a few cartwheels when kim’s punkazz got fired..I got so tired of her and if you read her blogs all she did was talk about how well established she was..how connected she was but you don’t know LA Reid is the head of Def Jam”oh he’s there now” give me a break..I couldn’t have been more happy for Mike..i knew in my gut he would win because puff saw himself in him..it was obvious
I’m too glad that Mike won!! Poprah is my girl!! I enjoyed watching her and Laverne on the show! They kept it interesting!
Uhh, just a thought. Wouldn’t it have compromised the finale of the show if the winners had reported to work prior to the actual finale airing. I’m just saying…
I am glad mike won I wish laverene would have won though. oh and I am with the poster who asked about the nas& kelis sex tape?
Thanks a million! My fiance watched it last night and I told him not to tell me who won because I was planning on watching it today. Oh well!
I’m with 2 and 11…poprah is full of herself just like diddy,if you ask me she was perfect for bad boy
but i am wayyyyy too happy that mike won,if he was gonna sike out anyone it should of been suzanne,i told my aunte last night that she rode the coattails of kim,mike,and anybody else who might have been a leader. Mike deserved it way too much and should of got first dibs on the win but wateva….you better call that boy for work diddy!
I’m glad Mike won, but how in the hell did Suzanne win too? She always came off as lackadasical to me and never really had any ideas. Maybe I need to catch up cause the last episode I saw was when they threw that party and she was blowing money on dumb stuff. Anyway, congrats to Mike.
Congrats!!..Maybe Mike will get a hair cut now..How that boy came back from the Barber Shop still needing a cut I will never know…

I remember seeing Poprah in a few low budget movies(lol) & she had a really nice shape & I remember her saying the reason she gained weight is so all the men would stop trying to holla at her!!?? Girl please Im happy for Mike he is like Diddy in the sense of appearance I pray that he doesn’t become as arrogant as he is though as far as Suzzane she supposedly had prior experience working as a personal assistant b4 to other celebrities evidently it didnt work out if she felt the need to appear on a show(lol)
That Harvard Grad did not deserve to win! She is not business and goal oriented. She got by off of other people and that shhhh is not right. What did she earn off the “Guess my age?” She took credit for that shhhh too when in fact she did not do nothing. I am not feeling that shhhhh!
Suzanne actually won it, Mike was walking off of the tarmac when the plane stopped and Diddy told him to come to the plane and he said he had ten other companies and if Mike wanted to work for one of them to get on the plane.
well thx for the spoiler. Were only on the episode where Red got eliminated over here in Toronto.
