Top Affiliate Challenge Reactions

By Jeremy Schoemaker 41 comments

Making some final preparations before filming starts of the Top Affiliate Challenge. Thor Schrock came to my office to get some of my reactions to the top 10 (I think the top 12 are flown in for the filming).

Here is Part 1:

Here is Part 2:

I think this is going to be very entertaining. Plus a showdown between John Chow, some spammer, and me for bragging rights as team coaches.

If you have not voted yet get over to the Top Affiliate Challenge and vote now!

    First comment…woot! I think it’s funny that you refer to Ken McArthur as some spammer (he is) because he’s a relatively big player in the circle-jerk world of IM.

    It will be interesting to see if this is a smash or a bust. How is the weather at the TOP? :)

    Yo Shoe,

    Calling me an Emo…. LOL Nothin’ could be farther from the truth. Big J’s just a little beeyatch - got my goat… I tried to get him to put his money where his mouth is and bet me on who would last longer… All in good fun of course… He wouldn’t - puss… ;-)

    Been a big fan for a long time. Looking forward to meeting you on the show! This is gonna be fun.

    Thanks Jeremy for the kind comments!

    Listen to the kind words Jeremy Schoemaker said about Devin Hunter, go to: 5:28

    Shoemoney thinks Devin Hunter is “weird”.

    BTW: NO I didn’t get busted for cheating, they didn’t make it on the show.

    Peace my friend!

    Good Day!

    Watch Jeremy’s recent post and you would know that your comment is extremely offensive…. The politically correct term is “High Deployment Email Sender.”

    :-)

    See you in Nebraska Jeremy.

    Devin Hunter may not be weird but he does have some pretty sweet animated horizontal rules…

    I’m routing for the Shoe, Not John Chow!

    Shoe, you should put in the factor that people were buying “SUPER VOTES”. I don’t even know why super votes were there to begin with, but I figured that TAC may have needed some money…

    Nice video. Informative and funny.

    Hey Jeremy - it’s the “boring one” from the top 10! Hilarious. Love it - truly. I’m having a blast because everyone who knows me cracks up laughing at your comment.

    I’ve had to fight hard for everything in life from the underdog position, so I’m definitely a worthy competitor..

    Now since you’re calling Ken McArthur a spammer, I think the judges’ drama will be at least as interesting as anything else on the show!

    Whoa… Ken… some spammer?

    Hey, if you knew the guy, you’d think differently. Your comment is totally unfair! I’m on Ken’s list and get oh… about one email a week. Is that spamming? Nah…

    Wait until you meet him. He’s totally one of the best.

    Rhonda is pretty cool, too, BTW. I definitely wouldn’t count her out. :-)

    Love your stuff, dude, but this time… you’re wr… wr… wrrrrr ong.
