I'm pretty sure June was angling to get on TV for awhile. Remember she did that extreme couponing when they had a bunch of shows about coupons. Then T&T, finally she got a show. But I think it's Alana's personality that got them the show not June.
Another thing I thought of... Boy Pumpkin has come a long way. I remember when she tried to fight Sugar Bear. It still gives me a chuckle.
