I’m a bit late because we just moved our studio, so I’m behind on everything right now, but just wanted to say thanks for watching the show! Now I have to go catch up on the Mahalo Idol episodes. Looks like I missed a lot!

Since I thought Sarah was the best candidate we probably disagree on a number of issues. I will not get into that here, if interested some of my comments are posted on the vote site. If you thought to vote for Sarah (or others), you do need to hurry!

There is a deadline for official voting at http://www.mahalo.com (click on VOTE NOW!) midnight, Sunday May 25 so if you are thinking of voting or winning the mac air laptop for a video submission and a day of fame….there is not much time. Thanx

Jason has given all the contestants a bigger audience in the future no matter who gets the Host position at Mahalo. Sarah Atwood is under rated, her quirky sense of humor showed in her post audition interview when she was more herself and let her real personality through.

Elaborating, slightly, on Veronica’s Mahalo Daily work: the show definitely grew on me. The cheesy humour episodes were the worst, and I entirely expect that the problem there is that that style of humour doesn’t mesh well with the NZ sense of humour I have. I watched every episode – it can’t have been that bad!

What I don’t get is that people rave about Veronica, and she was good, but not (IMO, obviously) raving good. As I said, probably you have to be familiar with her other work.

I might check out Tekzilla, but the full episodes are more eye-time than I have (I didn’t know there were shorts – I will check those out). I do enjoy TWiT when Veronica is a panelist (but I would be more likely to rave about Merlin, Dvorak, or even Calacanis).

FWIW, I responded to the "jerky" comment in a separate (somewhat verbose) post. While it's unlikely Veronica has time to read it (I do not expect her to), it serves as my explanation for my writing style, here at least.

But on another note, geez… your comments are pretty jerky. These women are trying really hard to make a great show, cut them a little slack. It’s not the easiest thing in the world.
