First off, I want to wish all of the applicants the best of luck. I did have a hard time choosing, but ultimately I had to go with the 16 people who I thought deserved a spot the most, would be entertaining, and most of all, not extremely boring to watch (nobody likes those people).
Second, I want to just say how excited I am to start this 2nd Generation of the series. There were some bumps in Generation 1, but ultimately they have made me a better and more experienced host, so hopefully the seasons of this generation (and i promise more than 12 this time) is one to remember and a fun experience for all.
