Hi, gang. I hope you dont mind that I did a little more sleuthing in an effort to guess the identities of the missing thirteen finalists. Actually, I can hardly call it sleuthing since all Im really doing is using the candidates own video postings and any other information linked directly to that video, but its amazing what you can find.
Since a few people have mentioned her on this forum, I thought I would focus on Lynze since I spotted her CMO video on
YouTube very early in the competition and thought it was great. It would not surprise me at all if she has made the top 20. Under her video on YouTube, a couple of people have posted inquiries (along with words of encouragement) asking if shes among the top 20, but there have been no replies despite the fact that the last login for that YouTube account was recent enough to have seen the messages. (If you remember from my earlier post, this follows the same pattern as Chad Thompsons video.) I can think of a number of reasons why a finalist might choose to remain anonymous, but if I were a non-finalist, I would be inclined to say something like Sorry guys
no, I didnt make it just to get a little sympathy and TLC.
Lynzes video was posted on YouTube by someone who calls themselves BDisneyDPC. I clicked on that name straight from the webpage that contained Lynzes video, and it took me to BDisneyDPCs main YouTube page which contained a YouTube profile and links to other videos posted to that same account. It took me a matter of minutes to find out from the info and videos that BDisneyDPC is Brandon Barbosa who was one of the Dream Job winners in last years contest (an Honorary Parade Performer). He is obviously a close personal friend of Lynzes since she appears prominently in several of his YouTube videos (including one with a group of friends who celebrated Brandons 21st birthday in Las Vegas last year). This makes me wonder if Lynze isnt the secret 8th finalist being kept under wraps by Ricky since surely Ricky, Kenny, and the others from last year know Brandon well enough to have learned this information.
Lynzes connection to Brandon answers a few questions I had in my own mind about how Lynze was able to do so many things in her video that are generally considered behind-the-scenes or VIP activities in the park. Perhaps Brandons status as one of last years winners opened a few doors. My only remaining question was why might Lynze choose to remain anonymous. One of Brandons videos entitled Deflowerd might contain the answer. (You can find it by following the steps I named above and from Brandons main YouTube page, click either the numeral 13 to the right of the word Videos or the small print that says See all 13 videos. Deflowerd is the last one. Another, much simpler way to see it is the go to google and search Deflowering Brandon. It is currently the first listing and is titled MySpaceTV Videos: Deflowering Brandon by Brandon.) A few words of advice if you decide to watch: Watch the video today since I fully expect it to be removed by either Brandon or Lynze once this post hits the airways, and watch it with mature audiences only.
Yes, thats the same Lynze. Actually, this was more than my amateur detective skills had prepared me for, but it was literally a matter of clicks and there I was. Im not sure this is what Disney and Careerbuilder really had in mind when they launched this contest, but Ill let you guys make the call. --- Nancy Drew
