Crossing My Fingers
Rebecca - Episode10
It's been a lot of fun being back at home in Edmonton and Pierceland. It was so nice to see my family, friends and all the anonymous people I've been talking to. But, to be honest, I really miss being in Toronto. I really hope my fellow Canadians vote me back in so I can come back to the big TO. If I'm not the one voted back in I want to thank everyone who voted for me, and if you didn't vote for me then thanks for voting for my fellow competitors, every one of them definitely deserves a vote.
I've been doing quite a bit since I got back. I've done press, threw a party at Union Hall to say thanks for everyone's support, went back to work for a bit, got my headshots done (they are hilariously awesome), and have been waiting for Monday's show to see who the wildcard is. I've also been spending a lot of time reading the blogs. I know I haven't read them all, but I've read the majority of them (you crazy Canadians and your blogging - LOVE IT!)
Thank you so much for everyone's support. It's nice to see that there is other people in Canada backing me up when people are shooting me down. Don't get me wrong, I love that everyone takes their time to blog even if it is to criticize. I take everyone's advice into consideration so I can try make the most of what I have to offer.
To anyone that doesn't think I would be a very good VJ at all: I think maybe you should have taken the time enter into the contest and live your life in front of all of Canada to critique everything you do. If you did enter - hmmm, doesn't look like you made it.
And that's where my bitchiness will stop! If I had a chance to do the contest/show all over again I sure would! I suggest to anyone who even thinks about entering something like this (whether it's Canada's Next Top Model, Canadian Idol or The MuchMusic VJ Search), definitely do it! It is very much worth it and it's not every day you get to pursue your dreams in this kind of manner.
Some people have left their email addresses for me to email them, crazy me, as of right now I think I'm gonna drop some of you a line cause you guys are all hilarious (and I mean that in a good way).
I have to say some of the most fun I've had for press was on 91.7 The Bounce with Pepper and Dylan (they were the most fun I've ever had in the morning, teehee, definitely tune in to listen—they are a blast), and with Leslie-Ann on NTV (girl, you gotta apply for the VJ Search next year). I have to say though, my favourite person to listen to on the radio in the evenings is Fearless Fred. Not only is he the most opinionated, hilarious person on the radio but he also hosts TNA Saturdays at The Union Hall. If anyone takes any of my advice right now it should be this: tune in to 100.3 The Bear Monday to Friday from 6pm - midight to listen to Fearless Fred's Radio Extravaganza.
While I'm on this giving advice wave I must leave you with another piece of quorky nonsense advice (and I'm sure this will stir up the blogs): If someone is looking for something and can't find it, no matter what it is CLAIM YOU ATE IT!

Hi Rebecca,
Not sure if you'll still be able to read this but don't worry about not winning the whole wild card thing- there will be other stuff ahead for you! You did an awesome job on the VJ search- you were smart, got along with the others, stylish and it doesn't hurt that you are beautiful. You did say "bitches" a bit too much for my liking, LOL, but besides that, you rocked! :)
I'm gonna miss the whole VJ search, I don't watch too much TV (honestly!) but for some reason I got addicted to this show- I think it's cuz you all had such great chemistry (even negative chemistry like between Erik & Frank, Erik & Larissa, Erik & Casey-Jo)- it was all so fun to watch! Glad to hear that you had just as much fun making it!

I agree with Smudgelipstick. I;m going to miss this show so much. This was the first reality show I've watched in what, 4 years?
The whole reason I don't watch them is cause I HATE waiting for the new episodes to come out every week. It completely stresses me out.
I do think they picked the right wildcard but I would love to see other VJ Hopefulls on Canaidian television.
And as lame as this sounds, when I get old enough I'm totally trying out for the VJ Search ...if it's still around.

I dont think you really have what it takes to be a VJ...sorry But my vote goes for Tim

Hey hun-just wanted to say that I voted for you-Tim's a great guy and all but the only reason he got chosen as the wildcard is because he's hot...and that is how disappointed I am in our country right now...why would you vote for someone who really won't be able to cut it as a VJ-ya he'd be a great model or a musician...but this is a VJ search and well VJs aren't supposed to "upstage" the celebrity that they are interviewing and i think thats what Tim will do if he gets chosen as the next VJ(not purposely,but thats just how young hormonal females are) and ya Tim is hot,but this is not Canada's next top model-this is a fricken VJ search...

I'm so sad... =( Tim got voted back. Damn... Yes, I do agree is hot and a VERY nice guy. But I don't think he really has the qualities of a VJ. I mean you have the personality, you were yourself and you're very pretti-ful. ^^; Tim, I just don't think so.
Well, at least now I know who to vote for. Sean.
Rebecca you are the a really great person. I really wanted to see you live as a VJ. Good luck onwards. =D

::. Freelancer says .::
And YOU, young lady are the fem-Tim. Easy on the eyes, a little sketchy round the VJ-edges but wholly pleasing to watch. And, for all the catchphrasing "B-----s!" you threw out there you still had a Girl-next-door vibe to match Tim's Nice-guy.
Yeah, you're cute (and thus I display I can be as shallow as one expects western men to be) and all, but you had something there. You just faltered during the competition and never got the chance to climb back to the top. But you got it. "It". The (groan) It-Factor. Whatever. You're not done, I'll bet. Just come back next year or pick up some other gig. Stay fresh'n'funky and try to stay a little more You.
You're a softie-toughie with a good look. Rest up, regen and then come on back and shock the monkey. Random career tip from someone with absolutely no experience in said career: Get an agent. Try to score a feature role in a Canuck video (I say Matthew Good but whaddo I know?) or something and stay in the limelight (no matter how small it is at first) until you score a choice job. Just do not give up. Those Biography-type shows always seem, at some point, to say the same thing. Fame is largely determination with a gob of luck thrown in.
You've got the talent, you say you've got the drive and, hell, Calgary's got lots of freakin' horseshoes lying around. Recharge your batteries, kiddo, and then go for it. Anything less would be disappointing.

Dear Rebecca:
I just want to say that it sucks that you got eliminated. What they said about you on that episode doesn't justify your elimination. If there was anything that doesn't make sense in life, it's the fact that they voted you off. I mean, your audition tape says it all: you got what it takes! and the fact that your name consists of TWO firsts names? WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR FROM A VJ? bitches?
And I can't believe you didn't get voted back on. I mean, I voted for you and everything; and my vote is worth at LEAST like 1000 votes because I'm 1000 times awesome. But it makes sense because Tim is like, so cute and girls rule the world.
Hopefully we haven't seen the last of you on TV and that the bitch is here to stay. I plan on auditioning for the VJ search next year and I also plan on winning it :) And when I make it on the air, I'll make sure to give props to you by calling everybody "bitches." I don't care if it gets old. BITCHES, BITCHES ... bitches? BITCHES.
leeyo83@hotmail.com >>> OMG e-mail me back or add me on MSN. If not, then that's cool. Nice seeing ya on TV. Good luck at life and stuff. K bye.
Love,
Me.

HI! So, we have the same name...which is really neat. Except I spell mine Rebeka. And most people call me Becky. So yahyah! But hey, I read that you might actually email some people, so it would kinda make my day if you emailed me. Hehh,ohboy! beckthereck@hotmail.com PLEASE? Cuz that'd be amazing. =) I liked you on the show ; well I also fell in love with Casey-Joe but I got sad when you fell out. You have really nice eyes. ...but OKAY! And you also look like this one girl's sister. But ..they're kinda enemies of mine so that's not..a good thing? Wow, anyhow. I was trying to find out if you have myspace but I dunno how! And I can't find it, if you do have it. So if you do, could you please tell me? Woohoo, so yah hopefully you do get back to me because that'd be superneat and amazing. Well..this was it! PEEEEACE...bitches.
muaha.

Until then, keep it real and good luck with your future endeveours! Lates bitchez!
