Former Reality Show Contestants

Meeting the fabulous Green Eyez and the fabulous Austin was absolutely worth the later unpleasantness for me.

If I do get rich I will foot the bill for a Wizened Woman fest someday, preferably in Tuscany. And we can hire Constantine to call a bingo game for us.

As long as the prize for winning is not a date with him. But we'd have to at least make a toast... he's the reason we all know each other.

Ain't that something to ponder!

Well, this made me laugh this morning!

Me too Sky!!

Hey, I hear Con is singing at JC Penny! You can see him for $5!! Who said there weren't any good bargains anymore!

(Yes, I know it is a charity thing, but still it's funny. From Bingo to Penny's!)

Absolutely we can thank Con for bringing us all together and so lucky for you guys who got to meet one another. I never got to meet any of you in person, but I still feel close to you!

Man, a convention in Tuscany sounds Yumo!! (tm Rachel Ray)

Thank you Frazz -

Ya know what? You pay him enough and he WILL call bingo for us. I'd rather that we pay him to undress, (we're allowed to close our eyes), cover him with whipped cream, and then lock him in a room with 20 members of GS. Or that Other Board. That would be his just desserts.

Well, the thought of him naked and covered in whipped cream nauseates me to such a degree, I can't even begin to say.

The result of leaving him with each of the different boards would be entirely different. I guarantee with a certain board, he might not escape with his wittle pee pee.

The thought of us all in the lap of luxury while C, who of course would be outfitted in a clown suit - to match the inside - calling BINGO is an image I can most definitely live with.

Amazing how we're all so different and fell for the same guy. Interesting.

I guess we all saw something different? Whatever we "needed" at that particular time was what we thought he fulfilled. Which he didn't. And would have no clue. It's hard for me to put myself back into that mindset, which I guess is a good thing.

We thought he was a nice Greek boy who was also some kind of musical genius!! Turns out he was neither

Eh. I thought he was hot and I thought he had enough talent and work ethic to make it. At first, I was also absolutely enchanted that he tried so hard to connect personally with his fans.

I still think that he was, at times, hot. When he wasn't being a jerk.

I still think he has the talent - I really do - but I don't think he's got the work ethic.

The whole connecting with fans thing was a gross and naive miscalculation.

I never believed he was a nice boy, Greek or otherwise. My first take on him was that he behaved like a porn star ("I'll fuck YOU, and YOU, and YOU").

In spite of that, I projected upon him that he was a true theater person with a great sense of humor. I also attributed to him all sorts of intelligence and self awareness.

I was wrong on all counts.

He would be the porn star who says "I want to be BLOWN by YOU, and YOU and YOU."

YESYESYES!!!

I never thought he was really really talented. He won me over with what I thought was raw sexuality and turned out to be the guy with a huge white gut, hairy chest and gold chains in disguise.

I found his quirkiness fascinating. I was never into his voice. There was always just "something about him". I thought he knew how to play the AI game well and while the eyefucks sent most people running for the bathroom, I found them hilarious and adorable.

I thought he had a sense of humor about himself. That's always the biggest turn-on for me. That I also thought he was intelligent, made him even sexier. To find out just how wrong I was - to where it was the exact OPPOSITE of what I thought - was quite disheartening.

Wow! I'm just getting all kinds of info. I admit that during the Idol show he was great eye candy, but I never really followed him after that. Good thing I guess, huh? Now, JD/INXS, yes I continue to follow them. JD will have a solo CD out sometime next year. I'm anxiously waiting to hear what that will be like. While INXS has been taking a much needed break, he has been working on the CD with the help of some of the Farriss Bros.

I cannot wait for a solo JD CD!!!!!! PLEASE bring any and all info here ASAP OK Sky?! Plzthxbye

Well, JD is all the things, I think, Abrahammy thought GB was. Talented with a great work ethic. He's successful because he knew he was given a gift from the gods and he wasn't about to blow it. He rejuvenated INXS and made a name for himself. I saw one episode of Rockstar: INXS and pegged JD as the winner immediately.

That he's not sitting on his laurels and putting out a solo CD is proof that he knows what he's doing.

If GB had taken JD's path, things would look very different for him. Especially after his shocking!elimination! Instead he tried to be Paris Hilton.

It is amazing how someone's life can change. I was seeing how Chris Daughtry is going to be opening for Bon Jovi. Now, from what I remember when he tried out, Simon almost said no to him because he had no facial expressions. Can you imagine if it ended there? Weird how things turn out.

I'm not a member of the fan club so I can't access it, but apparently Bo Bice is not happy with SAM and how they're promoting his CD.

One thing he's upset about is that they told him they can't get him on TV because Southern rock is not a popular enough genre.

He did say the Wal-Mart deal was very good for him and some other people financially.

Badger, I know it's probably here somewhere, but what is SAM? Thanks.

I need to check out Bo's CD. My son was a big fan; I liked him too. He was great at the AI concert (we were lucky enough to see him before he had to withdraw.)

I am pretty sure that "SAM" is an acronym for a publicist firm. I think Clay used to be with them. Kim Locke too.

SAM is Strategic Artist Management which is Bo's and Clay's management team. They also rep The Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert and Anastacia among others. They signed Peter Asher earlier this year too.

No, Kim Locke was never one of their clients.

That's the name! See, Badger knows everything!

I remember Clay thanked Kim for "SAM" on his MOAM CD (or something like that) and we all wondered what "SAM" was at the time. So I thought she was with SAM. I remember some people thought it had something to do with The X-Files! Maybe we never really found out what that "SAM" was? Maybe you can fill me in??

You know I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like Bo's new CD............It wouldn't be my first choice of music to listen to, but because I really like Bo's voice and his love for his music, it is a great CD.

Here is a site that will feature JD's music along with a lot of other singers/bands. Right now they are having a contest open to members who might think they are talented enough to put lyrics to one of the tracks on JD's CD. The winner will get to collaborate with JD on the making of the song. It's a fun site and a lot of good music there!

I know many fans are frustrated because the CD is exactly what they were hoping he would do when he came off of the show, there's a great video for "Witness" which has a very good chance of making VH-1's top 20 videos list this week, but there doesn't seem to be much going on in the way of publicity. The fans are doing what they can but they can only do so much.

I'd like to "collaborate" with JD alright (not necessarily on music )

Why does "Fibbers" ring a bell with me concerning JD??

Poor Bo, can't seem to catch a real break can he.

Fibber's is the Pub that JD use to sing at, and he now is in partnership with Fibber's.

FC...I'd like to collaborate with JD too, and not with his music. I have no writing skills so I'm not even going to try to enter this contest.

I hope Bo does get more publicity. This CD is truly Bo and anyone not following his career will have missed out on hearing this one.
