As supermodel swears, T.O. gets booted off ‘Superstars’
As supermodel swears, T.O. gets booted off ‘Superstars’
Actually, Owens was probably stuck for less than a minute. ABC's cutting back and forth just made it seem like five minutes.
Then Krupa let it rip.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens and supermodel Joanna Krupa went down to ignominious defeat on the very first show of ABC's new prime time version of "The Superstars."
"I don't want a teammate like that!" she said. "Calls himself an athlete? What does he get a million dollars for?"

"Hey, Jo, let's go," said Owens.
"No, T.O., not 'Let's go," she said.
That's when she told him he, uh, messed up and to "shut up."
The loss meant it was do or die against WNBA star Lisa Leslie and actor Dan Cortese, who played football in college.
Loser goes home.
Owens got through the nets with a small lead - and Krupa got to the cargo nets first.
But Leslie rolled her way through faster.
"No one would have thought that Terrell and Joanna would be the first leave!" proclaimed the announcer.
Krupa bleats another expletive, and refuses to high-five Owens, who tries to be a good sport.
"I am so . . ., I am not standing there! Unbelievable," she said. "Calls himself an athlete!"
"I'll be a prima donna like you've been," she continued.
Owens tried to be gracious in an interview, calmly admitting, "I screwed it up in the first race. I got stuck," and adding, "It was good fun."
Krupa was silent - until the exit walk.
"So cocky? For what? You got in the NFL?" she yammered.
This time Owens responded. "I feel really bad for your boyfriend. I feel really bad for him," he said.
"Unbelievable," she said.
