He's Gonzo

Dina Pugliese - Episode3

And so it begins....and ends, for another Hopeful. From 10 to 9.

Just as I feared - it's getting worse and much harder to deal with loss as I get to know all of the finalists.
This all started off fun and fancy free - I show the 10 finalists their pimped up new penthouse - they party in the hot tub - all is good. Two challenges later - we're in our first finalist elimination round and i have to stare NORM dead in the face and tell him he's gonzo. It's the first time I've ever seen him so raw and real. His guard completely down, totally vulnerable with fear in his eyes.

Rebecca was having a hard enough time beside him - tears streaming down her face - and the look of relief when she realized she was off the hook...this time. The girl who quickly became the face of the show with the catchphrase "See you at the penthouse, bitches," got one more chance to prove she's more than a pretty one-trick pony a la Paris Hilton ("That's hot")...

Norm - not so lucky...I just hope he's okay and realizes his full potential. The boy is super-talented and will no doubt find his way back into the spotlight - move over Dave Chappelle - the Norm show may be hitting the tube soon...don't give up on your dreams Norm...

One of the best parts of last night's show was the look in your eyes when the last three were facing elimination. It was like restrained fury and pure disappointment, perhaps concern and I'm assuming it was because of the Frank/Eric thing and it gave you a real human quality. You don't get those type's of Host moments on on other shows and most of them (hosts) are plastic anyway. Man, I'd hate to be a future/current kid of yours bringing home a bad report card.

I just have one thing to say about the show. How can it be that the judges have all the say in whos going to be the next VJ. Shouldnt the Much Music viewers have a say in things. I mean sure you guys are going to have to work with these people in the end, but TV is all about ratings, and if you want the ratings you (the people at much music) have to do whats best for the viewers, so next time you have a show like this let the viewers help decide whos going to be the next VJ. Thanks

And if anyone cares I think Tim Should Win.

I think most of the veiwers like Tim the best. I think evreyone is being too tough on Erik though, he has MAJOR talent, but I dont think he should be the next VJ. Tim rocks, he will defently improve even more if he is picked. Your ratings will go up for shure if he is the next VJ.
