[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Nov 19 2003, 08:29 AM\'] [quote name=\'cmjb13\' date=\'Nov 18 2003, 05:50 PM\'] Gena Lee Nolin probably wishes she never left. [/quote]
Considering that she's had just about the most successful post-TPIR career of any of the models and is now internationally famous, I would love to know the logic behind that statement. [/quote]
But what has she done since TPIR?
She's been living off her Baywatch fame for years. In hindsight, leaving was a dumb move considering which show lasted longer.
And you think she's more famous than Cindy Margolis? (one of the, if not the, most download woman on the web, making lots of money from her website)

Since TPIR, she's starred in two television series and made countless personal appearances based on her fame, fame that would not be nearly as great if she was still pointing at refrigerators on a game show, which as we've seen isn't nearly as secure a job as you're suggesting anyway. It's inconceivable that she considers leaving TPIR to have been a bad career move.
And yes, Gina Lee Nolin is more famous than Cindy Margolis. Fame on the internet is still a marginal thing compared to television fame, especially the sort of international recognition that Baywatch and, yes, even Sheena provided. (Margolis' late-night TV show did little to improve her visibility.) As a shrewd businesswoman, Margolis is almost certainly more *successful* from a financial point of view, but definitely not more famous.

Perhaps a Barker bobblehead? Hey, Chuck Woolery got one!

Margolis's fame is more self-proclaimed than anything. I would love to see some good, solid numbers to back up her own hype. I bet she can't produce them. Hell, I could declare that I'm the most downloaded MAN on the Internet and most people wouldn't know where to go to prove me wrong.

While I appreciate your information, are you saying that because I frequent Golden-Road.net more often than this site I am not "good?"
Am I good enough to be here? I help Moderate Golden-Road.net and certainly there are posts that I don't like either. I don't generally dislike games, contestants, or many other things that are posted. Unfortunately, some people do; they are opinions and it's a free country. I try to allow people to speak their opinion that they are entitled to. We do NOT allow any direct negative commentary on fellow fan sites or their respective members.
I enjoy visiting this site as well as many others. I will continue to, as you have proved that your attitude displayed here does not represent anyone but yourself, and does not discount the other fine people here who post and help operate this site.
I would be willing to bet that 1/2 of the members of G-R.net also post here. I'm just unsure as to the saltyness of your post what you are trying to accomplish.
Sorry to drag this off topic, as well. It just struck me a little wrong when you stated the "good people" all moved here from ATGS.
