So the voting ended. I’m glad. It’s in the hands of fate now. Or the cosmos. Or God. It’s been a week. Such a week. Long. Tedious. Exhilarating. Hard. Exhausting. I feel like I spent more time on the net than ever. Did I campaign hard enough? Did I vote for myself enough? I resisted the lure of the auto-voter. On a personal level, I thought that was cheating. Don’t get me wrong, I’m flattered some of my fans did it for me but is that what CBS/Shapiro Groedner really had in mind? And watching some of my fellow contenders actively beg for their use? Gross. Yeah, I went out there and did some press, a few TV spots, a bunch of interviews and chats. Heck I even made a t-shirt. But @ the end of the day if a computer can send out 50 bijillion votes a minute should I have even bothered?
Campaigning gave me a chance to re-connect with fans. I got to witness 1st hand the good and the bad that accompanies being a “reality star.” Again. Some things never change! I’ll never understand why I’m bashed over something I said in passing 4 years ago. Talk about holding a ridiculous grudge! And it’s not even being held by the people of whom I spoke. The thing is I spoke of those I knew. We all gave as good as we got! If we can forgive and move forward why can’t the viewer? How can anyone be judged by 12 weeks of their life? Unless of course they murder someone and then… I don’t know, I guess I’m having one of those “is it really worth it” moments. But that’s what the naysayers and haters want. To kill your buzz. Your dream. You have to push past that. Ignore it like so much white noise. And keep moving toward your goal.
To all the peeps that voted for me, thank you. To my friends @ marcellasreynolds.com, you know I love you. To hottie hot Ethan @ Brat Boy School, no campaign manager has ever been hotter. Thanks Shannon and Lance. I think it’s funny you voted for me. And Shannon I’m not asking myself, “What would Shannon do?”
I can’t wait to find out if it was worth it. Strike that. Even if I don’t make it in, it was worth it. And I think I got a shot!
Oh Marcellas, I have no doubt what-so-ever that you will be on BB7 this summer, so re-pack those bags and get your head in order! I too believe in fate, but I also believe in integrity as well. Your integrity is something that will not only put you back on the telly this summer, but makes you a winner no matter what happens. Bonne chance mon ami.
Thank you so much Todd and Lady!
I’m off guys! Hopefully for 3 months! Wish me luck. Pray for me and keep a good thought!

I second the first comment. You, Marcellas, have one of the most kind and pure souls, and that is very rare now days. This shines through to anyone who knows you (and even we fans who don’t personally know you).
To those who feel the need to bash you, I firmly believe it is from jealousy (and not just because you are gorgeous)! They can see your integrity, your sincerity, and because they know they are not of your caliber, they resort to bashing.
You are so unique and wonderul. I am certain I shall be watching you on tv VERY soon, and I can hardly wait!
(((HUGS)))
