Final Thoughts... Springer vs Sally Field Style

Well... In true Jerry Springer style, I figured I would share my final thoughts, as tonight is the last day of the Best Dive Job and tomorrow, one person's life will be changed. I am pretty sure that if you put all 10 finalists in the room together, it wouldn't end up like this... (hopefully we are a little Klassier than this...)

Anyhow - as I said, I am sure that tonight there are nine other out there that are nervous, worried, scared and all the other emotions that I am feeling right now. Each one of us want this amazing experience. Each of us feel that it would change our lives -- and each would be changed in different ways.

We all share the same desire, the same want and we have all put in an incredible amount of effort for something that we all want -- but only one can win the big prize. (They did announce a second prize of three months of divemaster training with a focus on photography and videography, which would also be super cool to win)

Thing is, only two phones will ring tomorrow. Only two people will get the call that 10 want more than anything. We know that they want someone that is enthusiastic, dynamic, passionate and someone who loves to dive. And I think we all have that -- but what makes one (now, two) of us stand out? What is that ONE thing that makes one person stand above the others? That is something that I don't have the answer to, and even though I have TRIED  to think of what it is, it is just something that I don't know the answer to. I've given it the best I can and hopefully they will see something special in me that so many of you that have supported me over the last four months do.

For anyone who knows me, I HATE not having control of the situation... and it is DRIVING me nuts. I just want to know! BUT I have been getting really good at waiting for my phone to ring... lately I feel like I have been doing a whole lot of it, so what is one  more day?  And who are we kidding, it not like I haven't waited for a guy named Tom to call before right? And I can tell you that IF I do get a call from a Tom tomorrow, it will be a little more Sally Field (see video below) than Jerry Springer :)

So now I just wait... and hopefully I can pull my best Sally Field impression out (along with some champagne) tomorrow night... Cross your fingers and your toes for me please :)
