Hey people,
The show starts this Sunday,

http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3160&highlight=ESPN

but I need to let you guys know that it is a NEGATIVE vote. So you vote who you want OFF the show. In short

DON'T VOTE FOR ME!

Unless you really want to. :(

So a vote for me would actually be a vote for someone else... :)

Thanks for all the support!

...Looks like it's too late for re-programing the internet worm not to flood that site with votes in your favor :naughty: Oh well, either way given your choice of vehicle you should win based on style and originality :luck:

Close call... how did America vote down Chris Williams anyways JK :rotate: Best of Luck next week Chet :thumbup:

Watched the episode last night, and while Chet wasn't in it so much because his group is not up yet, I have a pretty good feeling about this. Anytime I did see him on the screen, he radiated confidence and composure - didn't look the least bit worried and was just out there having fun. That's great, and you could tell a lot of the others were pretty rattled and Chet just struck me as unshakable. Granted it's just an initial impression without a whole lot to go on, but that's my perception so far. Looked cool as ice.

Chet, it crossed my mind that you were going to try to work in a VehiCross reference somewhere along the line, and all I'd say about that is to pick your moment wisely, because most people won't know what one is and it could backfire.

Oh yeah - how in the heck did Quigley survive the first show?! Geez.

Man, it's a PAIN to vote for this thing. But I was glad to do it. The way it's set up, it's almost hard to NOT vote on Chet's picture. So vote carefully. DO NOT VOTE ON CHET"S PICTURE!!

(I hear that the guy in the cowboy shirt drives only HUGE Cadillacs, and HATES VX's)

Thanks for all the support!

It was pretty cool being out there. Kind of surreal (Lavar Arrington joking with us during commercials, Stuart Scott hanging out with us after the show). It was a long day. They had us in the studio from 9am till showtime. I didn't get back to the hotel till 1am...

But my turn is next week. I will just go out and be myself. I'll take it one week at a time... .... Oh no... http://www.chetanekwe.com/Smiles/_freaked.gif I'm using sport cliches...

Great job last night, Chet! I'm not able to watch the show live or vote 'cause I have to get up at 4:30 each Monday, but I taped it. You should definitely make the final four and I think you have a great chance to win it all. You're obviously very comfortable in front of the camera and it's just a matter of tweaking things each week to please those judges. Good luck!

Here's a link to where one can register to enter, and then vote in the ESPN contest.

http://r.espn.go.com/espn/contests/mazda3/index

Just fill in the 'register' stuff and then 'login'

Remember,... DO NOT VOTE ON CHET"S PICTURE!!
You vote only to REMOVE someone. We can enter a NEGATIVE vote only.

Chet, I watched Dream Job tonight, and I absolutely hated to see you go. I hope you will take something positive from the experience, and I think that you will. After all, you didn't get as far as you did by thinking it can't be done. Just remember how many people tried out for it, and you were in the final eight!!! That's pretty awesome! So keep your head up high and be proud of what you've done, as I know all of us are. Good job! And hey, who needs that Mazda anyway - you've got a VX! :-)

Chet, it really miffed me that you were voted off. I know that you will make the most of the situation. So much more happens when the cameras are off. Work it...;Dr;

Chet, sorry to see you get cut man. You were NOT one of the worst two. Kelly stinks. I don't know how he can still be around? But, hopefully you've made some good contacts and will take full advantage of everything good that has happened to you, over the last few months? You will go far Chet. Keep us posted on your next adventure, I'm sure it will be a good one!
Great Job Chet.:clap:

:D
Dave...

BTW, with the one's left, I beleive Aaron will win it now.

... That accomplishment in itself is a victory. The opportunity to vie for a major sports reporter job dosen't happen for everyone, so be proud you had what it took to make it that far. IMO you could have gone the distance too bad I wasn't a judge. :luck: You'll go far, I am sure their are news agencies scouting new prospects, so who knows where that national exposure might take you :D
