She didn't even notice until Flav called her on it. She then tried to recover, but it was too late.

I hear you, and I see both sides. I have personally experienced friends of Caribbean descent who have not the first hint of anything Caribbean in a regular conversation, but when they become emotional, they lose control of their voice as well and all of their original accent comes back. One friend explained her "regular" voice as her acclimation to Georgia culture and the kids that poked fun at her. Thank God she got over that by her junior year of college because folks loved her Jamaican accent.
But when you look at it that way, it probably would explain why Buckwild would come off as fake. Maybe she was becoming acclimated to the black kids in Oakland that always made fun of the white girl at school. So maybe she kept that voice going all the time until it got to hot in the kitchen, and she lost control of that voice as she lost her emotions. Or she could be faking for cameras. Who knows on Flavor Of Love?
