Rebecca Brayton: How is a Cannonball competition judge? Kimberley Sullivian: You have to make sure that you have personality before jumping. You have to have a high jump, a big splash. So a lot to counts, like the less artistic you can be, the better. Rebecca Brayton: What's the craziest thing you have ever seen done? Kimberley Sullivian: There was a gigolo last year, so he almost got naked was in a G-string. So that was pretty interesting and then he came out of the pool. So he got a perfect 10.
