The lovely people at G4 are looking for a new female gamer host and have decided to run a contest, instead of just auditioning like normal.
G4 Gamer Girl Search is using the
Got Cast Web site and their voting system to hunt down the next Olivia Munn or Morgan Webb.
Contestants must post their background information, their measurements *cough*, pictures and videos on a profile page, so people can vote for their favorite girl gamer host. The winner or winners will get to be the newest female host or hosts on one of G4's gaming shows.
I just wanna know where's the contest for the male host? Are the guys not good enough to be put through the public horse and pony show just for a job?
It's obvious that G4 isn't looking for a qualified host because if they were, they wouldn't hold a contest for gamer girls only and then make them going through a dumb voting process. I hope for the contestants' sake that this contest does result in a valid gamer host and not just another pretty face pretending to know what she's reading in the teleprompter.
Gotta give it to G4 though. They created a great marketing tool with this contest because everyone of the girls in the contest will be promoting themselves to tons of people and in turn will be promoting G4TV. Brilliant on their part.
I know I'm probably starting a flame war with my rant, but I'm really sick of these sad girl gamer contests and their attempts to appear to be anything more than a T&A showcase.
Honestly if anyone does decide to vote, vote for the
StarSlay3r. I think she's the only non-model/gamer in the top 5. Plus she's only like 2 votes behind the top girl. And she's the only one on that list that hasn't spammed my facebook, myspace and email inboxes with "VOTE FOR ME" messages like a friggn' rabid prom queen hopeful.
Also, bewbs.

I give up on life.
Yeah, I forgot that girls don't know anything about games.
Anyway, if you looked at the contest is based on votes and people will just pick "another pretty face" and more likely than not, the person who is going to win will most likely know nothing about the stuff involved with the show they will host and won't probably want to know even when they're hosting it.
Measurements? Really?
They aren't looking for a 'girl gamer'. They're looking for a piece o' sexy ass to slap a Jinx shirt on and attempt to read off a teleprompter.
Yeah I know, I was just giving you a hard time. But with Britini up there we know at least one of them is something of an expert.
I hope the game dame wins it, she's got a decent video up.
She's wearing a dtoid helmet in one of her pics... which is totally AWESOOOOOME!!!
... LOLZ how did she get in the top 10? There had to be at least 20 other chicks that at least didn't look sick as fuck.(If you're reading this then... hi?)
They forgot to mention that the girl needs to look like a model and not be adverse to wearing skimpy clothes.
I emailed them, they should be correcting that shortly.
Who wants to look at some fat and/or ugly gamer girl (you know...the majority of them) to be the host of a television program?
And oh, hey, it's Summa's jailbait. Am I surprised?

win & then proceed to marry me
Although, I've gotta say, it's hardly a "T+A Showcase". Most of these people hardly have any *ahem* assets, and I don't think that matters greatly to gamers, anyways. We just want something aesthetic. I disagree with the whole approach, but it's showbiz, baby. You expect a megacorporation to have respect for decency and integrity?
