Billy Crawford was the only celebrity centerfold who did not take off his top. After the show, he told PEP, "Ever since, kahit dati pa, two years ago, mas mapayat ako, actually. Mas skinny ako dahil nag-prepare ako for a movie. Pero, never akong naghubad, e. Never akong nagta-topless. Ninenerbiyos ako. Iba, e! Mas mahirap sa akin ang gawin yan, kesa sa sumayaw at mag-perform in front of hundreds, thousands of people."
