Way to go, Nadine!
May 15th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Nadine is just not the one for Mahalo. She has a kind of quirky gang girl thing that just doesn’t seem right. She definitely doesn’t have that “girl next door with a thing for tech feel.”
Well, there’s my two cents, for whatever that’s worth.
May 15th, 2008 at 1:40 am
I really hate to be the first one, but I have too. Over all, not very impressed at all. You did a lot better with the word on the street, then you did here. This was pretty boring, and the topic was uninteresting. Staggard a few of your questions which I found distracting.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:39 am
A good comprehensive, informative production. Not as interesting as the last two and as the previous commentors have said the subject could have been a better choice. Not a bad stab at it but certainly not the best. 5 out of 10
May 15th, 2008 at 3:43 am
I thought it was pretty cool, and you have a really nice vibe. A question for Mahalo - did you ever think of having more than one host for Mahalo Daily? Like one for each day? All these girls are so great, it would really be a shame to waste any of them!! :)
May 15th, 2008 at 4:10 am
Oh gosh, she seems sooooo bored while interviewing the first person, plus her kiss at the end of the presentation is absolutely ridiculous.
Appart of that she’s fresh and funny yet professional, my second choice so far.
Leah’s still first to me.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Michelle’s topic was great - just as Mahalo Daily covered extreme yo-yo and Knott’s Berry Farm in the past, Go Kart racing was a good topic, though I always appreciate a bit more of a behind the scenes look than we got here. I have to admit, being in SoCal and watching this, it did make me want to drop $20 and go experience K1 Speed for myself, so that has to count for something. Not my favorite, but still a good episode.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:18 am
No. Unfortunately. No. Just not up to standard.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:32 am
How do I put this… I would watch Nadine sit on the receiving end of a root canal. I would watch Nadine stick a foreign metal object in her eye. I would watch Nadine senselessly beat a homeless person within inches of his life. I would watch Nadine give that instructor a compound fracture through his leg. I would watch Nadine torture small, caged animals with a taser. I would watch Nadine eat large, live insects found scuttling about on unkept kitchen floors.
I probably won’t retain a word she’s saying, but I’ll watch anyway. Interpret that as you will. So in the context of finding a good host for driving traffic to Mahalo, what candidate could be better?
For the record, I’m not really a sadomasochist – I refer to my friend, who contributed significantly to this message, for that.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Nadine did a good job - the intro was good and the topic/questions interesting.
The outro? was weak and choppy with the guys riding off and then cutting back to her being a little odd - but I’d forgive her that in this round.
Right now of the three finalists I’d put her in second.
I don’t envy Jason’s task.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:43 am
That was nice. She did a good job on that one.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Ok job, but Leah is still the front-runner:)
May 15th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Ugh…. this is the worst candidate yet. Wandering eyes during interviews. Flat delivery. Seems like she was trying to sleep with the interviewee not find out what they do.
Mahalo should pass on her….
May 15th, 2008 at 8:13 am
What she lacked in interviewing skills, she made up for with being a good sport and picking an interesting topic. This wouldn’t have worked without hitting the mat a bit and learning some of the techniques, and she seemed willing to “get dirty.”
I liked her enthusiasm, and I liked her overall demeanor, but the very first interview segment was a little rough. That’ll come with time, though.
Overall, it was pretty good, and as MarcL says, I’d put her in second also.
Leah
Nadine
Michelle
May 15th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Sorry, the worst of the three so far. Couldn’t even get through the whole episode.
May 15th, 2008 at 8:55 am
you look 100% uninterested in your topic and even kind of bored
you didn’t even look at your first interviewee
it’s as if you wanted to get out of there as fast as possible
May 15th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I would have to agree that nadine is not the one. I counted ate least three times where she said “um” and a professional should not have to resort to a placement sound while searching for words.
Beyond that, I don’t think she would mesh well with Mahalo and be a good match with Lon. They just didn’t seem to hit it off together in the Vlog Idol and Bachelon episodes. Almost like she could care less if he dropped off the face of the earth but was nice because he might have some say in who might get the job.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I think Nadine has the “IT” factor, everybody else is all vanilla ice cream compared to her. And the dude from 1938 media just didn’t like her from Jump Street, I thought judging is supposed to be impartial, whenever he’s judging her it’s all coming from his personal feelings as opposed to whether she was good or not.
I was especially offended when the island girl came on and he’s lolly gagging all over her saying how exotic she was. Save that for your private porno stash dude.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:11 am
You guys are going to have a tough decision on your hands.
Nadine’s piece was probably the most poorly produced - microphone work, guests not knowing where to look, sound issues, the first interview clip should probably not have been used especially right after she just told us how articulate they are.
BUT
Once we got to the main dude at the gym and him working one on one with Nadine, the piece started to work really well.
I think Nadine was less ready then the first two BUT she’s got huge potential.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:27 am
well … she had two tough acts to follow and, by comparison, falls short. She had some cute moments, but seemed almost bored during a lot of the interview. Topic was interesting enough, but turned into more of a training film. Missed having an outro.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Nadine’s is the first piece that I really felt didn’t cut it. I don’t like her little peace-sign kiss she always does, and her interviewing skills are not up to snuff. There were a couple of times where she pulled the mic away before finishing her own question and the sound dropped out. Lastly, she we did not get enough information about where she was. Sure, it’s martial arts, we get that, but at the end they just say “Thanks for visiting our studio” and I didn’t feel like backing up the podcast to find the name of the place.
As they say, “Close, but no cigar.”
May 15th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I’d have to say I rank the previous two above Nadine, though I’m not sure why. I agree with what others have been saying. But I would also say she isn’t different enough from Veronica (they’re very different people obviously, but she seems a bit too similar in “type” to Veronica) - gotta get the right person, sure, but also someone who represents “moving on” from Veronica, IMHO.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
I agree with most here. I think Nadine’s episode was the weakest so far (I still think Leah is the one). Nadine needs to work on her microphone and interview skills, but I think the bigger problem is that I think she’d be a better match for MTV than Mahalo. That said I think the subject of the interview was a poor choice given the target audience of Mahalo and as a result the production and reception of the episode was flat. I suspect that Nadine is stronger than this episode and will be successful elsewhere, just not the right match for Mahalo.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
A very pretty lady, but from what I saw she definitely isn’t a replacement for Veronica. She seemed unprepared, lacked communication skills and was basically just a microphone holder turning the show over to the guest.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
At first, I was putting Nadine in between Leah and Michelle (Leah being my favorite so far). However, the outro was really bad, IMHO. I was left thinking, “Wait, what? It’s over?” I really missed having a conclusion to the episode. I didn’t realize how important that wrap-up is, but its absence was really tangible here.
I think Nadine could develop the producing and interviewing skills over time, but Leah clearly has that already. My bet is that a couple of the upcoming finalists are going to shine there as well.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Leah is still my choice. Nadine’s language is just not the girl next-door that I would be looking for. She leans toward cute rather than smart. Small samples, but thats my 2 cents.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I came away from the piece with a generally positive, tho odd, feeling. Beyond the contact, I felt a really overt sexuality to it. I’m not making a mind in the gutter call here, but just saying there were a few noticeable moments of physical tension. In an unusual way I found that interesting.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
More than competent, but where was the energy we saw in the first two rounds? I’d say that she could _do_ the job, but I didn’t see the level of excitement that Nadine had in earlier rounds. Her interviewing skills are good, but she could use just a few tips on interacting more with the interviewee. There are times that you need to be aware that you’re in front of a camera, and other times that it’s better for the interview to engage more with the person to whom you’re speaking.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
hmmm
May 15th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Looks great on camera. Needs to show a bit more of her personality, and I know that will come with experience. As an interview I felt I took away some new information, but the segment ended a bit abruptly. Definitely a lot of potential but will take some development to work out the kinks…
May 15th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
MMA can be such an exciting topic, it’s too bad commenters here found it uninteresting. Footage was mostly the same armbar and throw over and over. More sparring, and more exciting training footage might have helped.
Kudos to Nadine for getting physically involved and trying out new stuff. She did look a bit uncomfortable at the close proximity at first, but she was game.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Best so far, good energy, natural, got the Mahalo feel.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
This was a strong attempt, but ultimately falls lower than Leah and Michelle. While part of it may have had to do with the subject matter, I think the biggest problem was just pacing. We spent a little too much time with the instructor showing how to properly do certain moves. Some of that could have either been cut, or sped up. At least, that’s what should have happened if we wanted this to be equivalent to previous MD episodes (though more info is not necessarily a bad thing). The outro did feel a little weak, though the blooper bit at the end was a nice touch.
Overall I’d have to agree with others on here. Nadine is nice and all, but definitely feels like she would be more at home on MTV than Mahalo Daily.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Very natural. Very comfortable in her skin. An easy episode to watch. She took a risk by doing such a physical episode and she totally sold it. She’s very likable.
May 15th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Nadine has great energy, could work a little more on her verbal intro of her subject. Great to look at, I like the smile.
One major issue though. She did get me interested in MMA but no mention of where that school is located or any website reference. Of course I can google but you get the idea.
If she had done that, she would have made me believe that Veronica had had facial surgery and was still hosting :)
Looking forward to the others.
Thank you Jason
May 15th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I know this girl has the skills to be the new host but she just didn’t bring them all today. I not sure what caused her to emotionally disconnect on this one but unfortunately it was pretty apparent. I give her a lot of credit for her effort as she kind of got thrown into the deep end of the pool in terms of intimidation. She appeared to be the only woman amongst men almost twice her size. Also, she had to be pretty open with her personal space on this one which is difficult for most people. I think she did a good job and has what it takes but did not match the energy of the previous contestants. Overall, nice job Nadine!
May 15th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I have to agree with a majority of the folks here. Skills not up to par with Leah (but would probably come in time), and it came across as more cute that interesting. There just didn’t appear to be a lot of meat behind the subject at hand (a few minues of research to come up with worth-while question goes a long way).
Just one poor old mans opinion …
May 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I don’t know the technical stuff about a vblog - I am just a viewer.
However, I did not enjoy her episode - poor mic work.
Poor ending
I like Mahalo for the variety - but just did not enjoy watching this person.
May 15th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
I’m actually into Martial Arts and I thought Nadine got her point across visually with how anyone can do well in this sport. She also made it look a lot of fun and less male-oriented. Great way to open it out to a diverse set of people.
May 15th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
To keep it short and simple, my least favorite so far. Pretty girl, but this episode was a big yawn for me.
May 15th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
This episode is the weakest of the three thus far. I did not get past her opening and watched the episode by fast forwarding and looking for interesting parts. I spent a lot of time fast forwarding. Nadine did not seem very comfortable.
May 15th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Nadine just didn’t do it for me. It did not appear that she had done enough research on the topic and that she was just winging it.
May 15th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Not as good as the first two. The intro was good and the “hands-on” portion was good but not much else. There was one part where she was looking at something off camera instead of paying attention to the person she was interviewing. It was probably just inexperience but it came off as her looking bored. I would love to see more of her personality come through.
As others have said… what a beautiful girl and she pops off the screen. With Leah I would watch daily. With Nadine I would only watch when the topic interested me.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
This episode just wasn’t that interesting to me. I personally like Leah the best out of everyone so far.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
The roller coaster that was Nadine Heimann. She needs to loosen up for the camera and control the interview. Things start off slow and choppy. Then the trainer takes over the show and makes it a good episode. Then we return to Nadine. The V sign kiss thing… no thanks.
I think she’s very capable, but needs more experience to get “In the bubble” so she can get people to perform for the camera. I mean, come on. She’s just talking to us, a hundred thousand of her closest friends. Don’t be timid and tongue tied in front of us. If you’re going to do it, do it. Stop trying to hit me and hit me!
She probably should have practiced each scene once before filming it. That’s not a lot, but could have made a huge difference in what was captured on film. Help the interviewees get it right before you film them. They should know what they’re going to say before you film them, unless you want them to look bad (hint hint).
And the outtro should be the interviewer signing off, maybe followed by the interviewees riding off into the sunset, but there was no “signing off”. Kinda felt like watching her meander off the end of the flight deck of an aircraft carrier…. she’s gone.

May 15th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Mixed Martial Arts ROCKS!!!!
And so does Nadine.
May 15th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
No
May 15th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Adjectives that come to mind: sweet, fresh, young… Loads of potential but not quite ready for Mahalo prime time. Looks great on camera. Didn’t show any discomfort with the trainer getting in close. Definitely recommend her to intern at Mahalo and perform as a guest reporter to polish her skills but not ready to replace the goddess of geeks.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Now that we are starting to see multiple productions we can compare and contrast.
Nadine did a very nice job, but was not great. I think she has potential, but this production didn’t do it for me. It bordered on being boring.
As of Today, Leah and Michelle are tied for top spot.
Keep it going, this is fun. Maybe you should do this for all your Mahalo staff positions.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I liked her! It wasn’t a great episode, but I liked Nadines tempo. She was cool.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
She was good and the topic was fun, but why just another sport related trial? couldn’t they come with a better idea?
originally i was rooting for Emilia, but now i am trying to keep my eyes open and see some more,
So far, sorry to say
Nadine #3
May 15th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
of course i meant Leah D’Emilio’s… Sorry
May 15th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Boring. Not a fan. The weakest that has gone so far. The topic just was not interesting and the editing was weird with her rolling around.
May 15th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Can we say “Funky, Funky, Funky” just one more time? And that V kiss thing. What is that? Does that mean that she’s with it and we’re not? No thanks Nadine. It’s back to the drawing board for you. Cute and all but definitely not what Mahalo needs.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Way to show off some muscle, girl! Good luck!
May 15th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
So far in my poll Nadine is in the lead. You could make a list of checkboxes and point ratings, but the only thing that matters is whether or not the audience is drawn in. That being said, I watched today’s episode more closely than I have during the entire audition process.
Frankly, if Nadine doesn’t win, I’m going to unsubscribe. So far none of the others have captivated me. The only thing I would alter is to shed that faux-gangsta angle, it’s not becoming. Stop saying “What’s up” and don’t put up two fingers to the camera — in most parts of the world that _doesn’t_ mean peace.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I don’t know how to put this but frankly Nadine simply was not on the same level as the first two contestants. There were several awkward moments in the episode and it just didn’t seem to flow. MMA fighting is something that could have been a very interesting and fun topic for Mahalo Daily but I was just not feeling it with Nadine.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
One word: Meh.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Holy convoluted way to leave feedback. Mahalo needs easier navigation. Anyway Nadine did a GREAT job. However after 3 competitors, I’d put Nadine second after Leah and ahead of Michelle.
So far Leah is my favorite, but we have yet to see 3 strong competitors.
May 15th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
It just didn’t work for me. She seemed to stagger over some of the questions, and my first thought was “Why didn’t she re-take that? That was basically a flub.” And I didn’t feel that I learned anything about the topic. Also, she opened with the premise that it wasn’t just guys beating on each other, but I didn’t feel that she really maintained that thread - it became just showing off some throws. (And I do agree with the premise, I know guys who do MMA.)
This was the weakest of the three for me, by far. Michelle is still my favorite.
May 15th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I’ll agree with Trevor. The “Click here to leave a comment” needs to be right underneath the video itself.
Nadine is so hot it hurts. I can’t look at her! Mixed Martial Ice Cream? Was that today’s show?
I think she could have been a bit more talkative, and show us her personality, but not in a silly way which I think she tends to do because she doesn’t know what else.
Again. She is so gorgeous. But who is she? I’ll put her 2nd after Leah as well.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Leah- energetic, enthusiastic, decent mix on the video, my front-runner of the first three
Michelle Hummel- not bad, but kind of flat, close second to Leah so far
Nadine- sorry, this was by far the weakest of the first three. What’s with that silly kiss and gangland “peace-out” thing at the end of her intro? She hardly looked at the camera, showed little enthusiasm, made and an exciting topic, MMA, into a really boring segment.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
The best show! that dude just had a boner =p
..i want veronica back =(
May 15th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
haha! that dude just had a boner! =p way to go nadine! best show yet. i dig her.
..i want veronica back =(
May 15th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
This reminds me so much of the girl who went first in the ‘Leah’ show. It’s a complete copy and is a take off of Veronica’s ‘Yoga’ episode. She also went for and failed miserably to have any kind of sex appeal or any interest in ever wanting to see her in any VID or Podcast.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Leah, Nadine, and then Michelle.
Leah and Nadine both have awesome chemistry with the camera. I could care less what they’re discussing, they’re both just entertaining to watch.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Nadine seemed a bit stiff at first, but she warmed up and was way more entertaining once she was more at ease. I wouldn’t say she’s perfect for Mahalo, but I definitely want to see her perform again, as I suspect she’ll improve a lot over time.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:32 am
Nadine looked too sweetie at the beginning, but later on, she took the show to a cool level. I think she was good, but in my personal opinion, Leah is the winner so far…
May 16th, 2008 at 2:45 am
i loved this! i was waiting for mahalo to do something with this sport. i watch it all the time and since its blowing up so big right now its kinda nice to see the more behind the scenes look. so its not just a bunch of dumb bar brawlers but actually a true pro sport! its also nice to see a host thats not just another pretty face but actually dives into what she is reporting and loves every second of it!NADINE ALL THE WAY!!
May 16th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Well, she IS fearless… she was getting down and dirty in some CLOSE combat!
So, I was LOLing at that, but I also picked up on the gang girl thing… not so sure about that. No kissing gang signs, please… too MTV.
May 16th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
The first thing I thought when watching this was, “Ugh, not that wannabe gangster sign language again,” but by the end of the episode, I was won over. I really liked the episode, especially once she got to learn some moves. She seemed really comfortable and seemed to enjoy herself, something that you really need to show as a host.
Overall, I still prefer Leah, and I’m curious to see how Sarah Atwood does next week, but I enjoyed Nadine’s show.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Nadine-Bottom Line– She has “IT”- Real-Real Beauty-Just needs a little direction and production. Leah and Michelle good but they don’t have–IT. There you go there you have “IT”. It’s your Mahalo. I don’t think it’s hard to figure out the Winner–Nadine. YOU KNOW IT
May 16th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
love, love, love her looks.
love, love, love her vibe.
her episode? not so good… I think it wasn’t delivered well. looks like it was fun but I felt left out, something that I have already seen done much better on MD
May 17th, 2008 at 4:46 am
Nadine was in my top three, but now I have to say I don’t think she’s up to par. It was an ok episode, but felt awkward from the start.
May 17th, 2008 at 4:52 am
it was ok
May 17th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
go more out out of watching “Tapout”…Nadine is not the one for Daily
May 17th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
It’s difficult to find a replacement for Veronica. I feel Mahalo Daily is pretty much built around her.
May 17th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
out of the first three i liked Leah the best. She entertained me, kept me interested and made it fun to watch. Her participation overall was excellent compared to michelle with the go karts and Nadine with the martial arts / wrestling. I wasn’t impressed by them. I vote is for Leah. Good luck
May 17th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Is this the all the footage we get to see? It seemed shorter than the other two and the peace kiss was simply retarded. The mic work needs practice. I felt it was similar to the first piece about dance fighting and now another fighting episode. She lied about them being articulate and I didn’t find the questions ,if there were any in depth at all. You guys should have put up subtitles for the fighters on the interviews like the first episode. Very violent women here you have picked jason
May 17th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I loved it best yet! go Nadine
Got into it, sexy and fun to watch!
May 17th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
BTW what happen to the lovely OLD host?
May 17th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
She has her own vibe but it’s not so in tune with what Mahalo Daily’s about. Leah is the one so far.
May 18th, 2008 at 2:32 am
Excellent! I enjoyed it. Nice pacing, had me till the end. She had fun and let the people be themselves. Best so far, IMHO.
May 18th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Nadine is a natural. She’s cool and beautiful, without arrogance. She should be chosen over the others for sure!
May 18th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Are you kidding me? ‘Brilliant human beings?’ Just because they use words like kinesthetic?
Nadine does not have what Mahalo Daily needs. She doesn’t look comfortable in front of the camera at all. She just is not a natural.
Nadine, America voted. And you lose.
May 19th, 2008 at 12:55 am
Nay, not quite Mahalo style.
May 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
There was an outro? started out strong, then seemed to get weaker and the questions weren’t that good either. Leah still has my vote, prefer content something to get my attention versus just eye candy, though eye candy isn’t always a bad thing.
May 19th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
gets our second vote
May 19th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Good effort, but she really isn’t up to the task.
May 19th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Give this girl the Peace sign..
May 19th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
I have to say Nadine is a close second to Leah. She kept me engaged and made a subject I had never found particularly appealing quite interesting. I have to agree with one of the other comments that her outro left quite a lot to be desired, though.
May 19th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Wow, people are being a little harsh on Nadine here!
She has a great face and picked a great topic, however she didn’t have the same energy that Leah and Michelle did. Leah is still my top pick.
She was by no means bad though. I still thought it was a really good show and I loved the topic. I think a couple of people were right in saying that it’s not quite the Mahalo style, and I’d agree with that sentiment. Nonetheless, she’s still a great host.

I think this was my favorite so far. Well done and appealing.

Nadine did a pretty good job overall, but I felt like watching her have this experience rather than experiencing it with her. I think that she could have reacted more and generally let us know how she felt about Mixed Martial Arts more. Good work though.

I prefered her to everyone…dno about you guys

Nadine would be a terrific addition to Mahalo Daily. I believe she has room to grow and it would be nice to see her progress in future episodes. She has my vote.

She did OK, but not really the best effort for her. She came off a bit wooden. She definately has the stuff…she just isn’t displaying her best work.

Yeah! That was funny!

Very good episode, she did very well.

Nadine is a natural, she comes across very cool, very real and has great energy. I’ve worked with her before and know Mahalo Daily would be lucky to get her.

1st pick: Nadine, It wasn’t great but I felt most comfortable watching her. It was good.
2nd pick: Andrea

she’s got it

I think that Nadine is sincere, and totally hot. She has a down to earth attitude that works well with others. The Idea of a chick interviewing a bunch of muscle heads in a gym, brilliant. Action - Click, Reaction - Entertained…..
To put the whole thing into perspective, I feel that this site, without a personality like Nadine’s, will be missing an amazing opportunity for some serious entertainment.

Leah’s my choice, but there just seems to be something wrong w/ this video. It skips a lot and there’s weird artifacting. That being said, I hope you are all using your own judgement, not just the vote of the people. The votes seems a little fishy to me, but I won’t worry about that.

Nadine is the obvious choice for this competition. She is beautiful, articulate, intelligent, witty and extremely personable!

this girl IS Mahalo Daily.. (PERFECT) what else can you ask for? She’s beautiful and commands the Interview. Who wants to look at the same old makeup mundane freak??? Maybe the story was boring… But, this girl has it! I would be stupid to not give this woman a chance…

Nadine has a unique appeal and energy that makes me want to tune in and see her next vlog. More interesting than the others, definately an exact fit for Mahalo.
May 25th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Nadine gets my vote! SShe’s Got IT!!!
May 25th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Nadine is funny, easy going, real and very watchable. I think she lights up when the camera is on her and would make a great host. Let’s see what else she can do.
May 26th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Nadine has a very contagious energy on camera; she brings a fresh attitude and a distinctive hosting style to her episode. I love her willingness to participate and her professional composure is a definite stand out. Go Nadine!

No. This episode was very rough and I get the feeling the interviewees didn’t take her seriously. I certainly didn’t.

HiEvery other blog I have read about Martial Arts Techniques, has been lacking in information. Your insight into Martial Arts Techniques is sooooo much better than anything else I have read. Thanks Chris.
