I'd like John to win for the males, Sean is just too stereotypically good looking, whereas John has a more interesting face. I like the look of Jared too, but I don't think he'll win. I prefer Corrinne of the remaining women, although I did like the Italian woman (whose name I can't remember). I'm not sure if this has class or not! Remember the crazy girl at the beginning (whose name I've also conveniently forgotten!)? I'm sure she was only there to add drama and ratings.

After the July 21 show, aren't there six remaining -- Jeanne, Corinne, Melisande, Sean, John, and Jared? The next show is next Wednesday, July 28? Is there another thrown in before that? this weekend? In my print TV Guide, I looked at the listing for the July 28 show. It lists four names and says, "Two of them will be action stars...." So I'm wondering -- has the TV Guide got it wrong or did they spoil by not listing the next two eliminated? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It said next Wednesday's episode is the finale. I presume they just choose the two out of the six, rather than out of four. I don't think the ratings are good enough for them to add a Saturday show, I'd guess TV Guide got it wrong.

Yeah, they got it wrong -- but I bet it is still a spoiler as to the next two who are cut out. I doubt the show will simply announce the winners out of six. They'll draw it out -- eliminate two and then pick the winners out of four. Bummer. Shame on TV Guide.

I remember reading somewhere that after the finale they are going to air the movie the winners make. Does anyone know anything about that?

Next Action Star: Bet Your Life, Next Action Star Movie, August 4 Preview This made for television movie will feature the two winners from the Next Action Star and will air on August 4, 8:00-10:00 PM on NBC. -Note, this preview has the winners listed so read no further if you do not want to know the results. "Bet Your Life" - This made-for-television film from executive producer Joel Silver stars the male and female winners of the "Next Action Star" reality series on NBC. Louis Morneau ("Bats") directs from a teleplay by Jeff Welch. Alan Schechter is the producer. In this fast-paced edge of your seat action film, Sonny Briggs (male "Next Action Star" winner), a former pro quarterback and current Vegas limo driver with a gambling jones is framed for murder by a psychopathic, harmonica-playing high-stakes gambler, Joseph (Billy Zane, "Titanic"). Joseph bets Sonny $2.4 million that he can't stay alive for 24 hours while Joseph tracks him and hunts him down for sport. With the clock ticking, Sonny heads for Cleveland - but what he doesn't know is that Joseph has already rigged the game, planting tracking devices on him. While Sonny runs for his life, he discovers Joseph isn't the only one pursuing him. Carmen Rawlins (female Next Action Star winner) - a relentless bounty hunter who works for a loan shark whom Sonny is late repaying - stays right on his tail. A few helicopter chases, explosions and a deadly game of dodge the flame-thrower later, Sonny decides to cut Carmen in for half the action if she will help him - and then he quickly double-crosses her. With less than eight hours to go, Sonny goes one on one with Joseph and takes a high dive with Carmen. Sonny's chances of cashing in are looking good - that is, until he realizes that the final "rule" of the game is that he has to be back at the Tower Casino in Vegas before midnight in order to collect his prize. The two contest runners-up make cameo appearances as well. NEXT ACTION STAR Episode: BET YOUR LIFE "Next Action Star" Movie Airdate: 08-04-2004 Time: 8:00PM Network: NBC tvrules.net

Wednesday, July 21, 2004 - 3:53 PM NBC Cuts 'Next Action Star' Run Short By Brian Ford Sullivan LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC is trimming its "Next Action Star" by one week, as the network plans to drop the show's penultimate episode ("Road Kill or Be Killed") in favor of wrapping the series on Wednesday, July 28 at 8:00/7:00c ("Score to Settle"). It's not clear how the show will address events from the skipped episode. In addition, the Peacock has bumped up the premiere of "Bet Your Life" (previously titled "Hit Me"), the telefilm which stars the winners of "Next Action Star," by one week. The two-hour original will now air Wednesday, August 4 at 8:00/7:00c. thefutoncritic.com

am I missing something (as usual)? Although the first article says "Note, this preview has the winners listed so read no further if you do not want to know the results "...I don't see the names of the two winners in the article, Essence, ??

I know Jan, I'm wondering if the website removed it or something. But that's all that was posted. There are theories floating around that the winners' initials are the same as the names of the characters that they will be playing, but take that for what it's worth.

I really hope Corinne and Sean win. I can see them in these parts. I saw a preview of the last show on access hollywood. They were talking about the final 4 and they kept showing JARED!!!!! I hope to God he doesn't win it all.

Well, looks like TV Guide Online has listed the final 4 for tongight. I'll put it below, but in invisible ink. If you want to know, just highlight and read here: Jeanne or Corinne? Sean or Jared? Two of them will be the “next action stars” when this season finale is over, but first there are makeovers for all four prior to an “Access Hollywood” interview. Oh, and a final screen test on a downtown-L.A. rooftop: they must master the martial art of Wu Shu and execute a “Matrix”-style wire stunt. And of course if you don't want to know, just move along now. There's nothing here to see.

UGH! I am hating NBC right now. Ok, so this show wasn't the ratings winner they thought it would be. But it's SUMMER! What else does NBC have going on? Why couldn't they show the second last episode? NBC always does this. Whenever they have a reality TV dud they pull this crap. Anyway... I am so glad Corinne won! I love her. And, even though I wasn't too crazy about Sean, I'm glad he won over Jared.
