TV Reality Show Contestant

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    At 5 ft 10 ½ inches, he is the shortest male contestant of the season.
    On the ‘drama’ that unfolded on the heels of the first night: ‘Oh, God, this is gonna be a long competition!’ (Uh, this is ANTM, what did you expect?)
    At the optical illusion photo shoot, he had so much trouble handling a bicycle (tossing it to one side was a pretty clear signal) that the photographer feared he was going to pop him one.
    In a bedroom conversation with Keith, he let slip that he wanted a dude to take the season — ‘but I don’t want it to be Will.’ (One guess as to who overheard that one.)
    Someone had to be the last contestant called for the final 14 (according to Tyra, solely on the basis of his name)!
    At preparations for the Electric Love Army ad campaign shoot, Kelly likened him to ‘a gondolier who just got out of a mental ward’ (and Tom Sawyer during the shoot)!
    He wound up with only one decent shot at the Corybot photo shoot — which the photographer likened to ‘Groundhog Day.’
    He was the only competitor at the Style Fashion Week casting to fail to book any shows (the other seven all booked their gender-specific shows).
    He hates being unable to grow anything more than a goatee.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At 20 years old, he was a real-estate entrepreneur.
    All of 10 months old when his father died in a car crash, he cited his grandfather and godfather as his male role models.
    As the finder of the box with the ‘magic shears,’ he was the only contestant who would immediately know his makeover (a beard weave that got him called a ‘black Lincoln’).
    He drew comparisons to that other Denzel — which came in handy when, having won a walk-on role for one of their shows, the CW talent head asked him to do such an impression.
    In the wake of the acting challenge he won, he had absolutely no problem calling out Mirjana – on the issue of kissing (Keith, in her case) – for her hypocrisy.
    Though he agreed it was exhausting, he was able to empathize with Mirjana’s increasingly loud and obnoxious antics, as Keith called them.
    By the narrowest of margins, he lost out to Lenox, who previously had a hat trick of first callouts.
