Ok, I probably just missed it but what’s the latest about you becoming a television sensation?? Last I heard they were interested but I don’t if anything official happened.
He made it a few rounds into interviews but ultimately wasn't selected. Their loss, but how amazing for Richard to put himself out there and give it a shot!
I did not make the top 8, which is alright, I have no doubt they found 8 people that were very talented and had a twist that needed to be shared as well. I hope it is a success, and of course, I will look for it as well.
Richard - I guarantee you will get on before Panhead John is selected for "America’s Top Model". I saw what he posted on your other thread and everyone knows the shoes were not runway quality.
Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
Richard Chrz You know, you have a great story, and you’re an inspiration for us here. It could be that yours isn’t a story that they’re prepared to tell. They most likely had something fairly well along, and story boarded, and were looking for people to fill already defined slots. Changing that to accommodate an extraordinary situation is probably work that wouldn’t fit the time they have allowed.
