Camp's unexpected victory caused many viewers to suspect foul play. The Village Voice ran an article in which a source, identified only by his online handle "UglyPig", claimed to have hacked the voting site, allowing him to vote more than 3,000 times.[1]
Wanna Be a VJ Too (1999)
The second Wanna Be a VJ contest was won by 21-year-old Thalia DaCosta, from Sunrise, Florida.
Wanna Be a VJ 3 (2000)
The third Wanna Be a VJ contest was won by Ray Munns.
Munns went on to defend his job five times on a live show entitled TRL Presents: VJ for a Day, where he and the contestants introduced the eleven through fifteen videos of TRL. Ray was the first ever half-Korean VJ (he is also a quarter-Irish and a quarter-English) and was the first contest winner to stay longer than a year at MTV.
The runner up, Shannon Wiseman of Dallas, North Carolina, became a co-host for UPN's Atlanta Tonight in 2004 and the host of NASCAR.COM's Post-Race Show in 2005.
