Apparently American Idol is the biggest thing to hit the U.S. since the Emancipation Proclamation. And now two Mormons are in the final 11. While watching this fellow brother and sister perform last night, I was struck by how loyal Mormons are to each other. Even though little David flubbed his lyrics, Young Women nationwide probably stayed home from Mutual to repeatedly call in votes for him and save him from elimination. With all this hubbub I was thinking of past Mormons in reality shows. I decided to test my fellow blogger friends about their IQ in this arena. Can you name all 8 of these Mormon contestants and match them to their reality show?

Um-I only watch survivor -so the guy in the corner is the Herzog millionaire. Thats all I know. Give me the dance world, and I can name em for ya....where is Benji, Zack, Ashly, Louie, Heffa, Jared, Lacie, the list goes on and on and on.....Sorry I think I failed your quiz. BUT I agree-all the little mormon girls are out there voting for them-Even the 40 year old Mormon girl...Dancing with the Stars-NEXT WEEK BABY! Go LOUIE, DEREK ,and JULIANNE!
Ya, you got me. I'm all about the dancing shows though. And I loved the girl on survivor several years ago from Utah. Was it Neela or something like that??? The one that took as her one 'personal item' her bom? And ya, they always do really well, shows you what all of us mormons spend our evenings doing! kelli
You're totally right: I forgot all about Benji and Lacy. I have no idea who those other dancing reality Mormons are. Maybe they are why that PBS documentary stated Mormons like to dance.
*I'll post the answers next week.
I'm obviously too much of a reality show junkie because I knew all the people by name (except the sisters from Amazing Race, who I knew, but not by name). I won't write the answers in case anyone else want to try. I'm so glad we have reality TV to base our friendship on Jenna! Ha ha, I guess we have a few other things in common too, like shirt envy.
I can't do it by name but I recognize all of them and their respective shows. You also are forgetting the one Mormon to be on the Bachelor - it was great, no drinking, no pre-marital sex - she didn't last long :)
I know them all except the girl in the white at the piano and I know the 2 in red are from The Amazing Race, but don't remember their names. Did you realize the 2 guys from Survivor are gay?
So we have: David Archuletta, Rafe, Brooke White, Todd Herzog, the 2 Amazing Race Girls, Neleh and I don't know the last one.
There is also the girl that went on MTV's "The Real World" and consequently got kicked out of BYU because she was living with men.
The "two amazing race girls" are actually my cousins - Lena and Kristi. Too bad they didn't do better! Oh, well - at least they had fun!
Holly, I didn't know they were your cousins. I wondered if they are still to this day looking for that item in the hay bails? That was definitely a tragic roadblock...
Hey Jenna (and Blake too)
I'm so glad you found our blog. Can I put your link on ours so I can visit often?
It's so good to see your happy (not so tiny...anymore) family. It looks like AZ is treating you well.
A while back, one of my patients (a female) came in and works in the office Blake used to be at. I can't remember her name for the life of me...and she hasn't been back since. BUT, I tell you this because she couldn't say enough good things about Blake. Personally, the image of him sitting in the back of math class in HS being "Mr Smartypants Math guy", and me sitting near the front being "She didn't do her homework...AGAIN girl" is firmly inbedded in my head forever. Of course, I had to inform his former co-worker of his HS math class. LOL.
I'm so glad we reunited yet again in the blogging world.
All right: we'll end this little game. Barbara already named everybody but the last girl. That is Carmen Rasmussen from American Idol a while back, the one with Ruben and Clay Aiken. She didn't do so good. Simon actually told her she sounded like a girl singing at a birthday party that should be told to shut up. OUCH. Do Mormons use that word?
You forgot John Peter Lewis...GOSH!!!
