Neleh has recently begun a CBS-tv reporting job in Salt Lake City, UT. She is reporting "light entertainment news." Oh, my heck, she looks really cute!

That's a bad picture. It doesn't look like her at all except for the hair.

Hi, Neko. The photo above is the one which accompanied the CBS story about Neleh's new job with KUTV in Salt Lake City. Guess that's what she looked like in July when the article was posted to the 'net. She'd had her hair sun-streaked before the live final show; I remember how strikingly different it seemed to me.

Discoinferno, I hate to hear that she's not been terribly successful; I liked Neleh when she was on "Survivor." She didn't major in broadcast journalism, and that would have really helped her boost her confidence--not to mention giving her the skills needed for a news-reporter's job. There have been many newbies at our local TV stations who are incredibly nervous and not very good at their jobs when they're brand new, just fresh from college. MOST of them improved and went on to bigger markets. A couple of them probably realized that being on-air wasn't for them.

I have a question about the pronunciation of her name. From the way it is spelled (Helen backwards), I would think it would be pronounced something like "KNEE-lah." However, on the show, what I heard everybody called her was something like "Nah-LEE-ah." Does anyone know how it is supposed to be pronounced?

Penpoint: it is pronounced Na-LEE-ah (or Ne-LAY-ah?). It is definitely three syllables. I thought it was silly when I first heard it; from looking at it, I think it should be pronounced Nelly. Oh well... I guess this is just another reminder of why people shouldn't make up names for their kids. It just causes problems when they become desperate tv attention-seekers!

i thought being 'helen' backward, it would be pronounced "nella"...i know that it changed during the show, though!
