Mahalo Idol Six Finalists -TheFemGeek’s Choice

I’m breaking from form here and have decided to do a non-video post. But don’t fret there will be videos.

For those of you who haven’t heard or read or seen, Veronica Belmont is no longer hosting Mahalo Daily. So Jason Calacanis founder of Mahalo.com has decided to have a American Idol like competition, Mahalo Idol, to see who will be the new host. A hundred contestants tried out. Then, in a The Bachelor format called The Bachelon, it was broken down to 12 finalist. And now it’s at the next step where it has come down to six finalist.

Here are the six Mahalo Idol finalists looking for the chance to be the main host of Mahalo Daily. All the ladies did a good job but it was one that I thought was different than the norm. My choice has been for Sarah Atwood.

Reason: She is real, natural, has the geeky cuteness, and she knows her craft.

I am looking for a change from the usual that I see on television. I want a host that will be part of the show and who will present the guest and subject matter well enough for me to think that the show is worthy to come back and see. It was an ability that Veronica Belmont was able to do successfully and one that I think Sarah will succeed at doing while putting her own flare to it.

Here are my choices in the order I like them, by host and not just subject matter:

Sarah
Need I say more

Andrea_Rene
I like her enthusiasm but I think it’s more about showing who SHE is.

Nadine
I think she would be good but I sometimes felt she was bored. Maybe didn’t know what to do while the guest answered her questions

Michelle
I like her look but I have a hard time believing her smile. Performing for the camera

Leah
She did a very professional job but I honestly thought it was too professional. She needs to try for the network news

Kristina

I wanted to like Kristina but I thought she was the most inexperienced one. I love her laugh but she needs to work on her nervousness.
