I found this on the CMT message board for Popularity Contest.
Who Jose's Modeled For

I have been friends w/Jose for a while now, and here are the jobs/shows I know he has done:
- He was a finalist in ABC's "Sexiest Man in America" Contest. - He has appeared in a few short roles in a few a well known American soap opera's, and also a moderate role in a spanish soap opera. - He was 2002 "Rich's model of the year". - Has modeled for Gucci, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nieman Marcus. He did a national commercial for Chevrolet with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart. - He appeared in the following movies: Sweet Home Alabama, and Fighting Temptations. - And has appeared on The View and Entertainment Tonight. - Mentioned in other post he was on "Date my Mom" and "Can I come In". He may have modeled for more companies, but as I said, These are the only ones that I know of.

Here's the link LINK

I love the movie the Fighting Temptations and don't remember him at all. Must have been a very small part.

I'm sure most of his movie parts were small. I can't remember him in Sweet Home Alabama.

Thanks Justalittlebean, lots of interesting information. From the previews it also showed that he did some nude modeling or almost nude (he was covered by the flag) and that little town I am sure won't take too kindly to that as they seem to be pretty closed minded, so it will be interesting to see how well they take this information or will they turn on the messenger, who I think is either Rory or Jason.

The time has changed for this show to Saturday at 2 pm but it is repeated often during the week. I was very surprised to see the favorite from Last week, Jason voted off thanks to Jose and Rory, who felt the only way they could possibly win was to dig up dirt on someone else. Bet those two have skeletons in their own closets. My new favorite is Alex.

I missed it. They voted off Jason? All they had to do was show those American flag pictures and that would be the end. I am hoping that Rory does not win this!

I am with you Mamie, I really did like Rory in the beginning, but I sure don't anymore, and Jose also dug up dirt on Jason.

Thanks Cd. I am going to have to catch a rerun now. I tuned in on Friday night and saw it was a repeat and didn't even think to watch another day or night.

Jose and Rory need to go. NOW. They are the lowest of the low. I hate conniving, underhanded people.

I so agree that Jose and Rory need to go. They are not nice people. Sorry to see Jason go..he was nice. Alex is now my favorite as well.

I finally got caught up on these shows. My take on some of the remaining (and most recently booted) contestants....

Marthia: glad to see her go. I was never too crazy about her. I felt like her take on herself and the town was that she was going to bring some culture and class to this little hick town with her superior singing. Frankly, I didn't think her voice was all that great.

Ali: Not sure how to feel about her. My initial take on her was a bit the same as Marthia....and that Ali was going to show these sheltered hicks what "real" cheerleading and "real" dancing is all about. For me the jury is still out on her.

Rory: She was my favorite. But, as has been mentioned here, not too cool to dig up dirt on Jason. Why was she at the computer herself anyway? I heard Jose saying he asked a friend to find out cause he wasn't allowed to use a computer. Is this a rule with the contestants, and Rory broke a rule? Or was this just a rule at his host family that week?

Jose: Is cute and he knows it. Can't say I've seen much substance beyond that. He uses his looks, and the popularity it brings him to do what ever he wants and knows (for the most part) he's going to get away with it. I do think the longer he's there and the more the townsfolk see his shallowness, he will end up going soon....much to the (I'm sure) dismay of all the young ladies in town.

Mandell: Seemed to be the most down to earth. I really think he was trying to just be himself. Unfortunately, that ended up shooting himself in the foot with the fashion show. Pointing out all the girl's physical "faults" and why they wouldn't make it in the fashion world was just plain stupid. I thought that fashion show was just supposed to be a fun thing for the girls to do for the town. Were any of those girls really aspiring to break into the biz of fashion and modelling? Why even point that stuff out if it was just supposed to be for fun?

Alex: By virtue of default of the others, he's become the favorite. I really can't remember much in the way of great things he's done, but at least he (so far) hasn't done any underhanded stuff. Though the alliance with Ali and Jason and him sort of turns me off (I hate alliances in these shows!).

As for the townspeople....the only one I can truly remember is Quincy. Man, that woman has a fierce sense of judgement and power. She looks like she expects everyone to fall in line with what she says or look out. I'm not sure if she really has that much power in the town, or if she just perceives herself to have that much power cause she runs the newspaper. What better place for a town gossip/self-proclaimed judge and jury to be, running the newspaper! LOL. Have to say I cringe a bit when she goes on about "my Ali." Blech.

I really wish CMT and/or the TiVo/Comcast listings would give episode descriptions. With so many repeats throughout the week, I can't just set the DVR to record any show that airs. And I can't set it to record "new shows only" cause none of them are listed as such. And then they've changed the day/time a few times so I really have to hunt around for the new one. Several times I've ended up recording repeats when I thought I got the new show. At least now I think I've figured out the new one is on Saturday at noon (Mountain time).

Whoami: On my Tivo, the episode number is listed in the extra info (seen when you press Enter while viewing the show description). I was able to set a Season Pass and have not had any problem with duplicates so far. Usually I get the Saturday repeat since the first showing on Friday night conflicts with other programming. The next new episode will be 7 on Friday, May 20.

Whoami, I have to agree with you, you hit everything head on, but seeing as how both Rory and Jose both dug up the dirt on Jason, I don't understand why Jose took all the heat for it, but I thought for sure he would have been the one to go.

Rory was my beginning favorite until she started showing her claws. She cringes when anyone else is getting the attention.

I am not sure I believe Mandell when he says he really doesn't care about the votes (yea,right!) he just wants to be himself. For $50,000 I don't know anyone who wouln't care about the votes, so that isn't such a real remark. And I don't think he even realized that he hurt those girls in the fashion show. Geesh, just let them have fun.

And like you I still am not sure about Ali, but I do like Alex.

I was surprised to see Jose stay last night but then again, he does have the teen girl vote. I am rooting for Alex. Let's let the nice guy finish first! Rory reminds me of that woman on Showdogs Moms and Dads that owns Chalcey.

I too was a Rory fan to start but I am starting to really dislike her. Aly and Alex are my favorites right now and I hope they make it to the end together. I was impressed that they spent thier free time avenging Jason vs. campaigning for themselves - vs. Rory being fake to win votes. ECK Send her home!

I think the reason Jose took the heat for exposing Jason is that he actually went up to people and told them about it, whereas Rory just showed the site to her host "mother" and the woman directed others (may have only been one person...can't recall) to the site. Most of the townfolk only knew of Jose's actions.

As for the "digging up dirt" part, I don't necessarily agree with it, but am not as upset about it as I may have been otherwise had I not seen Ali, Alex and Jason sitting at a table with Quincy talking about the column in the paper she was going to give them so they could proclaim themselves "The Good Guys" or whatever they were going to call themselves while talking about how "fake" Jose, Rory and Mandell were. THAT got my dander up. Regardless of how much of a joke her little hometown newspaper it, people in the town DO read it. For her to misuse that power is just plain wrong. If I had MY druthers, QUINCY would be the next one voted out of Vega!

The longer this show lasts the more and more I dislike Rory and Jose. I sure wasn't happy with the outcome this week. I am pulling for Alex now.

I was very surprised about Ali leaving. Quincy sure was upset but please don't tell me that she aligns with Rory next. Ali asked her to keep Alex going.

I was so upset that Ali left. I really hoped our insecure self-proclaimed strong female would get the boot. My husband and I were watching and he says you know if a women has to say so many times I'm a strong female, etc there is something wrong with her and a 'strong female' doesn't feel threatened by other females or people for that matter.
I liked her a first because she was a strong female but I now realize she is extremely insecure and I hate the fact that she bad mouthes EVERYBODY>

I agree I want Alex to win - if he does it will because he represented himself and didn't waste his time trying to ruin others.

Sassy, I never looked at it like that, at first I too thought Rory was a very strong lady, and I was really pulling for her, but then she just started getting mean, and she must be very, very insecure or she would not have to keep reminding us, you sure are right about that. I truly hope that Quincy keeps her word to Ali and doesn't try and help Rory, the longer I watch this show the more upset I become.

I think when the residents watch the show they will be very upset with how they voted and who they kept around so long.

Was Jose really that....um....stupid? Did he really not have the ability to read the recipe on a can that said "Chili burritos" and not know that there was a difference between chili, and chili burritos? I've seen some clueless people in my life. But really.

I don't know about how the show is aired in your areas. But here, they do the "dramatic pause" and "go to commercial" before they reveal the person being booted. Problem is, the commercial was for the next week's episode, and it gave away who was going to get booted after the "dramatic pause" came back from commercial!
