TV Guide Online: Is it hard to live up to a nickname that's slang for sexual charisma?
MoJo: (Laughs) I guess so. Everybody keeps asking me, if I had the mojo working, why did I get booted off? Actually, MoJo just stemmed from Melissa Jo. Instead of saying that long name, people just started calling me MoJo.

TVGO: After seeing on air how your hat kept Evan at a distance — literally, because it was so large that he couldn't get near you — have you reconsidered your policy on chapeaux?
MoJo: Not at all. What I said, I believe in so much. It takes a confident person to wear a hat. And I just love accessories! I certainly didn't think it would be that big of a deal. It was especially funny to hear Evan say that I kept bopping him in the head with it. All he had to do was ask me to take it off!

TVGO: Did you feel at all guilty about joining Sarah and Melissa M. in crashing Evan's hot-tub rendezvous with Zora?
MoJo: Not at all. She had a full day with Evan and half the night. Most of our other dates ended about the same time, so it didn't seem like we were crashing anything.

TVGO: Having been dissed and dismissed by Evan, do you regret not aiming a wee bit lower when you were fencing?
MoJo: (Laughs) No. You know, he actually wounded me in that process! By accident, he kind of cut my leg. It was funny, though, because in the long run, I got him down on the ground.

TVGO: In case our readers should want to present a significant other with a personalized puzzle like the one you offered Evan, where would they go to get something like that made?
MoJo: I actually created it myself, although you can go to any store and buy a puzzle kit and then just print the picture off of your computer. Nobody gave me that idea. I thought it up all by myself. I'm just very unique like that. It's a shame that Evan couldn't see past the poem about the husband and wife — it wasn't [meant] to scare him, it was just my feelings before going on the show. And in the poem, it said that I could wait for my husband — it's not something I wanted to rush into. I think he misinterpreted it a lot.

TVGO: Did you get the puzzle back, at least?
MoJo: No, I think Paul [the butler] kept it.

TVGO: What about all the baubles that Evan handed out? Did you hock them, you know, to avoid painful memories?
MoJo: Oh, no. I'll keep the jewelry forever. A gift is a gift. I don't ever plan on selling it. I've never had pearls before, [or] a sapphire [or] an emerald. So it means a lot to me, and hopefully, it's something that I can pass on to future children and say, "Look, I got this on TV!" That would be so cool.
