Finding Derek Contest - Entries

The winning Derek is …

Whew. I’m really glad that I did not have to vote for the winner, as it would have been really tough for me to choose. The judges had a hard time too, as the scores are close. The table below reflects the average scores each finalist received in the areas of Appearance, Voice, and Essay Answer. So, here are the first, second, and third place winners:

And here are a few comments from the judges:

“Bravo to all the brave, would-be Dereks for their courage, creativity and charisma. You really demonstrated tremendous stamina in answering all our probing questions. You are all heroes in my book! Judging among you hot hunks was not easy, and I was forced to be quite thorough, going over your profiles with a finely-spun silk stocking. Again and again. Trying to penetrate your six-pack armor… May the best man win, and may the rest come to my place for consolation! ” ~Stephanie Block, Editor-in-Chief, Tango Diva

“I think Rubin most looks like how I saw Derek as I read SEX LOUNGE, but George R, even with the poor audio quality, sounded the most how I thought Derek would speak, and Russell S. thought the most like Derek - on his myspace blogs, especially what guys like about girls.” ~Tara Mack, Playboy Radio

“…I think they’re all pretty special. But Dustin totally did it for me.” ~Bill Rosenfield, Executive Producer

“John A won hands down because he was smart enough to show his huge modeling portfolio. The more photos I saw, the more I was convinced he had a great body…It’s good to know there are lots of undiscovered Dereks out there. There’s still hope for single women.” ~Gail Jones, Talent+Plus/Los Latinos Agency

Congratulations to Dustin, Nego, and Chris — and special thanks to ALL the entrants for participating! It’s been an awesome contest.

More to come…

While the contest is over, I will be conducting live interviews with some of the judges in upcoming months. You’ll be able to call in and find out what it takes to land a talent agent, how to be a guest on Playboy Radio, get the inside scoop behind Broadway play productions, find out what Tango Diva looks for in Diva submissions, and more. So make sure you’re on the mailing list for future announcements.

And, for those of you interested in my work, I’ve got a new book coming out tomorrow - SIN CLUB. Visit my NEW web site at www.RachelleChase.com to view the book trailer, listen to an audio clip, or participate in an upcoming contest.

Thanks, again, to EVERYONE!

Best,
Rachelle

Listen to Brandon’s SEX LOUNGE Excerpt:

Have you ever helped a woman live out her fantasies?: “You bet.”
Tell us about it : “I had this one experience with a woman in college. She was a teacher’s aid and relatively young, and I could get a sense from her in classes that there was an attraction there. She shyly approached me one afternoon after class and admitted that she was sexually aroused by the thoughts of having a “relationship” with a student from her class…..me in particular.

Listen to Giovanni’s SEX LOUNGE Excerpt:

Have you ever helped a woman live out her fantasies?: “Yes. I know what a woman wants and how to please her. I am a fantasy for most women.”
Tell us about it : “First, I tease by nibbling down her neck, and rubbing my hands down her inner thigh, tickling and getting so close that the anticipation drives her wild. Then, I kiss her softly and slowly, ’til she can’t wait another second. I’ve been known to start at the toes and work my way up, kissing every inch of her body until she forces me to enter. I move slowly but firmly, going deeper and deeper each time, until she explodes with pleasure.”

Have you ever helped a woman live out her fantasies?: “Absolutely!”
Tell us about it : “I think it is quite easy to show up a certain way for women. Every woman wants two things in life–to love and be loved. With that in mind, what to do next for a woman is easy. The greatest gift you can give a woman is the experience of herself. Read the rest of this entry »
