I didn't want to go to Columbia after his last show, I want to go wherever HE is!

You rock, nolen! Your video was great and my guess for why you didn't get picked is because you are TOO GOOD!!

Your Italian was terrific, you're cute and funny and would have probably become the next Samantha Brown, so the Bourdain people just couldn't take a chance on bringing you before the cameras!!

Awww...thanks everyone for the responses. This was really just more of an update for the people who had helped me out, but I do appreciate the kind words. :)

I saw your clip tonight! He was pretty funny...

Yes, I guess he was funny. I'm not sure what I thought of the show overall. I really thought Saudi Arabia would be a great concept and I was left wanting. I felt like they just didn't DO very much and Tony seemed vaguely uncomfortable the whole time. Maybe because he wasn't drinking?? ;)

He for sure was a little shaky! He seemed to want to ask more but maybe couldn't. I do like the 'big bad' Tony and the nice-girl (Korea and Saudi) combo - gives him something to play against.

Great clip Nichole, you should of won!!

This is a standing ovation. =D>

I am one of those who really liked your video (esp your low-tech visual aids). I'm on vacation right now and was nowhere near a TV for the last week, but I just got to my brother's house and he was telling me about the Saudi Arabia show (all I remember is his son said the whole cooked camel looked like something out of the Alien movies...) but anyway, as far as being 'x'd' --

I can understand how you feel, but you were in the top twenty. Are you kidding! That is great! I agree with MelJ!
