Jase 818 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm a bit surprised this Top 10 is the best out of the hundreds that applied. Regardless, Jonathon Hansen, Jihan Murray-Smith and Sherhara Downing-Williams seem like they may have what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say ALOT of the applicants were just like those kids around here or on youtube who love to "play newscast".. They probably were. The only actually invited 75 to the studio for the actual tryout. Alot of it too had to had to do with seeing how the person reacts to being under pressure, stress, or short notice of something. Some people may have looked/performed well but how they would be able to actually handle the job is another question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbs2worksforyou 35 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I only liked Jenese. She did a great job! I take that back. My top two would be Jenese Harris and Jonathan Hansen. Both of them hit it out of the park and seemed like naturals behind the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti Cub 2 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 From what I've seen Jihan Smith is the real looker. She gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
