Latest (Last?) Webisode

One week to go! And I just noticed the latest, probably the last, webisode has been posted on the Häagen Dazs site. Funny stuff. I like the opening -- oh the drama and pressure of it all. That was definitely the most nerve-racking portion of the trip: Judgment Day. But, I always did get nervous getting my exam results back, and it is even worse when the people judging you are right there, saying it to your face. I can't imagine if I was getting my PhD and having my quals or thesis defense. Good thing I'm not going down that route! Haha. Anyway, it wasn't all criticism. The panel made good recommendations, and I was more interested in gauging where their tastes lie, as I may have mentioned in a previous post.

I can't believe how much the ad agency is promoting my bachelorhood. OK, maybe I can. But, is that the most interesting thing about me and this contest? I guess it was the final motivating factor in my actually entering the contest, so I can't blame them. I have only myself to blame for mentioning it.

It is definitely different watching the latest video, knowing the final outcome. And not being able to share my thoughts on it. Well, maybe another one before I forget. The comment about no more tweaking once the lid is on. I did ask for a couple more modifications after the judging, and I think I did notice a change when I got to sample my own six pints of Coco y Cacao. I do wish they had more ingredients available to us in the R&D lab, though. I was definitely shocked to hear they didn't have certain items there. I mean, come on, this is a test kitchen. But, then again, they operate on such a larger scale than any of us can even imagine, so maybe it doesn't make sense to stock what we'd normally find in our home pantries.

Oh, one last thing before I sign out. I know I'm always griping about the setup of the web page, but once again, the latest webisode did not show up at the top of my RSS feed list. And I know, it is because they put the video underneath the other two webisodes, which makes chronological sense. At least this time, they put the word "new" in the title, which is what drew my attention. Interestingly, though, I've been checking the feed every day this week, and it wasn't until this evening that I finally noticed it. I think the video has been up since Tuesday, September 11. Hmm, I wonder if that last sentence will get me some hits on the search engines.

Well, this is probably my final post before the big announcement. Stay tuned, more to come...
