Judge’s Critiques on Individual Presentations
After the presentations, Joel critiques the overall impression of the presentations. He mentions some were polished, some 
were not, some spoke of passion, and others spoke of accomplishments. All the elements the judges Joel Comm and Cresta Pillsbury were looking for were found in Jason Marshall’s speech and so he was awarded the first Hacker Safe T-Shirt of the show.
Jason Marshall now immune for the day from elimination, also receives a 1 year complimentary subscription to Hacker Safe to be used on a website.
Joel Comm further surprises the contestants by announcing they will all receive brand new laptop computers for making it as a contestant on The Next Internet Millionaire.

Twelve contestants arrived in Loveland Colorado to battle it out and escape elimination in the hopes of winning $25,000 and a joint venture business opportunity with Joel Comm, the Producer of the show, to make millions of dollars on the internet.
The day started out with a Limo ride to McCoy’s Morning Glory Restaurant for a getting acquainted breakfast between the contestants.
Fading into the first contestant to introduce himself, Nico Pisani comments on one of his goals to share his 10 years of experience doing business in Latin America through the internet.
During the ride to breakfast, Nico reads a welcoming letter sent by Joel Comm to the contestants about their upcoming adventure. This was also the first time the contestants were introduced to E-Commerce Chips, which would somehow be used for leverage during the competition.
At the breakfast, we hear Thor Schrock briefly talk about one of the organizations he would donate to should he win the competition.
Nico and Thor express different viewpoints about the US in separate interviews, will their views create possible contention between these two?
We then see the second introduction of the show, Jason Henderson. Jason comments on his size, a size which makes Charles Trippy apprehensive in the meantime, Jason Henderson is not nervous about anything at all.
Charles Trippy’s introduction comes next. He confirms that his name is not a stage name but very real. He also talks about his unique name as well as a few words he dislikes being used in the internet world.

Well, the Next Internet Millionaire hopefuls are about to start their second week of competition. If we could only be a fly on the wall at the InfoMedia campus and get to see first hand how things are going.
I cannot help but wonder who has already been sent home and who is the odds on favorit to be the Next Internet Millionaire.
I guess we will have to wait a few more weeks to see how things are going. The first episode is set to launch in the middle of August. In the meantime, I have been busy catching up with work that got shelved while I was in the competition.
I have also started working diligently on www.webrealityshows.com to provide a place for the world to come and learn about and discuss this amazing new genre of edutainment.
So keep an eye out for more news about this and other projects that I have in the works.
Well, the Next Internet Millionaire finals are set, and unfortunately I did not make it into the Top 12. I really felt somewhat destined to be in the finals, but alas, it was not to be. So close, but so far… so often seems to be the story of my life.
You can check out the Top 12 Finalists at http://www.nextinternetmillionaire.com/contestants.php.
This is a tough field from which to pick to speculate who will be the winner. I guess if I had to put out my pick… it would have to be Big Jason Henderson. He seems to have what it takes to be a JV Partner for Joel and Eric.
I guess we will have to wait and see, as the show will start airing in mid August.
Until then, stay tuned for more information regarding the launch of the premier online destination for discussing Next Internet Millionaire and all the other web reality shows…
Web Reality Shows - The Future of Reality.
The site will be live late next week. So go signup on the list and I will keep you updated on the launch.
Best to all the Top 12 Finalists in Next Internet Millionaire.
Well, the last few days have seen some really big changes in the Top 50 standings at Next Internet Millionaire. On June 20th, Matt Adams made a run from 21st place all the way to 3rd in the voting. And he continued his run by replacing Charles Trippy as #2 in the Top 50 in voting average. All I can say is “Great job Matt!”.

Another big mover over the last few days has been Jason Henderson … a.k.a. Big Jason. His impressive run took him from 39th place on Wednesday, June 20th to his current standing of 10th place. You can learn more about Jason’s approach by clicking this Next Internet Millionaire link or by visiting Vote for Jason as The Next Internet Millionaire and rate his audition video a 10.
Who can argue with the success these guys have achieved in the last few days? Not me!
So along the same lines I have setup a site to further promote my bid to be a Top 12 Finalist in the Next Internet Millionaire web reality show. You can check it out here and Vote for Cliff as The Next Internet Millionaire and rate my audition video a 10. Only time will tell if my approach yields similar results.
Let me know what you think about my new site.
The Next Internet Millionaire web reality show is heating up as the Top 50 Semi Finalists all seek to make it into the Final Top 12 Round. I am busy promoting the show and my bid to be a Finalist in every way possible. And now I am getting a little help along the way from a guy on the other side of my world who just a few days ago was a complete stranger…now that’s the power of the web.
Glen, a top Squidoo lensmater, has taken up my cause and created a Vote For Cliff lens on Squidoo, the popular Web 2.0 site designed to bring the power of recommendation to search.
Glen has also started a SquidU Forum Thread asking other Squidoo Lensmasters to help support me with their vote. I am currently in 15th place in the voting with 674 votes and an average of 4.0. That is more votes than I received in all of the previous round, and we still have over a week to go.
It will be interesting to see how the Squidoo Community gets behind me and pushes me up the ladder in the voting. I will keep you posted on the results.
