the girls do play a more emotional game. i think it's their downfall.

Melissa New Orleans? I don't can't remember what all the numbers are. Melissa New Orleans does real TV work. I've seen her act and host. Anyone know how she's doing?

I think Melissa hosts a show in the Oxygen network.

haha, but we love you for it OPD!

and who else has a real job or successful career? A few New Orleaners are doing well with themselves, right?

Melissa. I've been reading since she started. Doin' her thing.

I talked to Danny from New Orleans a few years ago. I had just happened to see one of his episodes earlier that day and I told him. He said, 'oh, you watch that garbage?' I think he's now a motivational speaker for gay rights. Sometimes they check back in with people who are having real careers (someone is a doctor in NYC, maybe from the Boston season? I didn't see that one.) And Judd + wife from SF. Rachel from SF is making lots of babies. I like hearing about the ones who did their season and went to work. Makes them seem more normal, ya know?

I used to read her blogs constantly. They were pretty funny, especially the one concerning the spider bite that Coral had. I really liked her on Battle of the Sexes. As soon as they got there she told off Julie.

For me, I always liked Alton too. He was a cool guy and seemed like a nice captain and not a totally evil guy looking out for himself.

I remember that melissa vs. julie war and i didn't really see melissa's point. they al have publicists that book their speaking engagements and julie charged less. wasn't that the argument? it's not that julie called the school on the heels of melissa and said, 'i'll charge you x-amount less than melissa.' i could be wrong but melissa came off as a bit psycho in that sit. i do like melissa, tho. i just wasn't convinced that julie dissed her in any way.
