    With 6 spaces to fill, and being the only female in the top 7, you would think I would snag a spot on the show, wouldnt you??
     
     
    Well keep thinking, cuz this chick is staying MUM about it until such time as I am able to reveal more info.
     
     
    Again, I am only writing this post out of respect to the curious, the lurkers, the producers??, my mom & dad (just kidding - they know everything!!), whoever it is I need to give a response to..
     
     
    I do know already that out of the top 10 - 60% have NOT been selected, and thats NOT including the huge ?? surrounding the ‘Ask a Gay Male’ William Sledd, and the YouTube Charles Trippy…so possibly 80%…
     
     
    I see that perhaps 2 out of the top 10 will be selected - they already announced Jason Henderson yesterday as contestant #1, I predict another 2-3 (based on some confessions on the forum for those not selected + common sense) out of the numbers 11-20 and then, 4 more from 21-30, and the remaining 3-4 from 30-50.. .. I believe they are unrolling the contenstants 2 per week over the next month +, in order to not have those who finished in the top 20 pay too close attention that the majority of the contestants were selected from 21 - 50 on the list.. and cause a little uproar.. Hopefully by then.. everyone else will have moved on to become their own internet millionaire..
     
     
    Should those not selected be bitter?? And by THOSE I refer only to those who actively sought out every ‘10′ that came their way.. Well I know that the marketing efforts made, inviting video creation into our lives - a first for many - will hopefully pay off in other ways…. many will say that the friendships and relationships developed were value enough…. right Jeremy??
     
     
    Lets shelve this baby and bring it back up when it does or does NOT become relevant . :)

    PS - FELLOW CONTESTANTS - Notice I have linked to many of you from within a BLOG POST (much better than blogroll link)… lets share the link love… first link back to me :) and/or let me know if you have a URL for those missing above.. (although I may be a snob and not include those who either did not make a 2nd video (unless the 1st one rocked) or did not do one darn thing to promote themselves, while others gave their blood, sweat, and tears to put it on the map.
