Mike did some exercises and didn’t talk much. When he did talk he was a bit cheesy. Kimberly didn’t complete the assignment and had to be helped by a host. The manager was offended that she wouldn’t eat the food. Cyndee had the toughest assignment because wine is a science. Overall the best moment/one-liner of all three clips was when Cyndee said, “You could do a lot of damage.” Very funny. In the pre-clip interviews Cyndee was the most enthusiastic about being a host. Cyndee’s the pick. No question.

Cyndee is hands down the best person for this job. She’s professional, young, sexy, and bilingual. Nice touch with the “merci ber cu” at the end of your segment Cyn. ha.
Please NBC, If you want someone with experience please select her to be the next host for LXTV.

I think Cyndee San Luis has what it takes….She is Miss L.A.
She knows how to captivate her audience…she’s exciting and fun….not to mention knowledgeable and cute. I think Cyndee is your next host!

All three contestants appear to have the drive and passion to make it as the host of your upcoming show “First Look LA”. However, of the three finalists Cyndee would be the individual I would want to watch host this show. Mike does give off a carefree/free spirited persona, but is not too informative. Kimberly appears sweet, but it felt like i didn’t get much from the segment either, and am not sure i would want to watch her show all the way through. I appreciate the professionalism cyndee brings to the camera; her wit and sarcasm adds to her on-screen charm. From watching her segments, she delivers a good balance of carefree/free-spirit and informative information, and i would definitely watch her show all the way through. Go Cyndee!

KIM by far has the most POTENTIAL. She has genuine appeal for a television audience. The other two hosts came across a bit fake where is Kim seems like a person who is down to earth.
I think KIM is your next host L.A.!
Good job everyone!

Cyndee is a great choice for the competition. She’s has a fresh urban look, is charismatic and is beautiful. In addition, she is able to fit in in any surroundings. Please choose Cyndee. Thanks

When it comes to hosting, Cyndee is THE ONE for the job. She’s a triple threat! Brains, beauty, and most importantly, the drive/passion for the industry. As Cyndee said, “I live, breathe, eat hosting.” It doesn’t get any better than that right?
Pick Cyndee! You won’t regret it.

I think Cyndee San Luis did the better job of the three!
Yes, Cyndee appeared a little nervous, but she still showed
that she has the skills and ability to do the job!

I watched all three and I think Cyndee would make the best host. She has charisma and you can tell that she is very smart and able to talk to people. She can definitely pull an audience in.

Honestly all three hosts were uncomforatable and mediocre but Mike had the most genuine “real” personality. I would definitely watch Mike over the other two, he has a natural charisma that a host needs. The others were lacking camera presence the entire time. A Host needs to be witty, charming and ability to or capitivate the audience and Mike did that. Cyndee was fake and Kimberly was neverous.

Mike was charming, but I was wondering whether he was just flirting with the interviewee. I didn’t get much information about the program as I would like. Kimberly had a sweet presence, but I felt that she still needed much more coaching with regards to hosting. I also concur that the segment would have gone much better had she mentioned being vegetarian. From viewing Cyndee’s clips, she seems to have the most experience and professionalism with regard to hosting. She added a few jokes and French phrases which helped make the interviewee feel more comfortable and can be seen at the end of the segment. Like Lisa mentioned, with a little bit more grooming and preparation, Cyndee is your best choice.

As someone who watches a lot of TV, there is no doubt in my mind that Mike was the only one that could keep my attention. He has a sense of humor which is real which is absolutely required for a host. He is also really good looking so I think he will have a following.

I thought Cyndee did the best. Her segment did have some dead spots, but she seemed to pick it up at the right times.
Mike was okay, but kinda corny. He also seemed to be at a loss for words half of the time.
Kimberly was not very good, she was too cute and shy and didn’t really bring much energy to the interview.
Great show! I love being able to check out new spots before I go there, without having to fight the LA traffic!

I felt Mike was very cheezy…I didn’t connect with him at all.
Kim is sweet, but I feel needs a little more experience.
Cyndee seems to have so many great qualities and I feel she would be the best host! I love how she threw in a little French…She is gorgeous, smart, memorable, talented and has drive!!! She is Miss LA!

This was a really bad segment. uncomfortable to watch and a terrible way to choose the host of a show. No wonder all three were bad. they were completely inexperienced. Cast a wider net.
