TIONNE AND CHILLI OF TLC FEATURING O'SO KRISPIE [2005 REALITY SHOW 'R U THE GIRL?']: "I BET"

To make it clear, T-Boz and Chilli weren't looking to replace Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes on their 2005 reality show R U The Girl?- the winner (after a grand total of 9 episodes ) was to record as a "guest" on an upcoming new single by TLC and nothing more.  No different than having a guest rapper like Lil' Jon (on "Come Get Some" from their Now & Forever CD), or somebody else they'd teamed up with on a single in the past.

I'd watched the entire thing back then and quite frankly was rooting for O'so, regardless of her ridiculous alias-name.

Mirrah, the runner-up, was talented and seemed laid-back and cool, but lacked the hyperactivity and wildness of Atlanta dancer/rapper/singer known as O'so Krispie, who in the end was the winner of the show, and performed on TLC's limited-release single "I Bet".

This is from the finale - Tionne, Chilli and O'so Krispie performing "I Bet" at the R U The Girl? finale, 2005 (surprisingly I at least have the second half of the "season" on a data disc!).
