« Ananda Lewis' America's Next Producer Blog
Episode 8
Being this close to the end must be incredibly nerve-racking for Gwen, Jessica and Zo because I’m not competing and I’m nervous as hell for them. Thankfully they all did really well on that sports challenge or we’d only be talking about two people right now.
Kellen Winslow was the perfect guest judge for this challenge and I got a special treat from him during the breaks: He taught me how to play Sudoku!!! I have always had a problem with numbers. My brain has always just shut down when it sees numbers and has to do anything with them. I have gotten better over the years, but the first time I saw someone playing Sudoku, I was immediately intimidated. But I love a challenge, so when Kellen asked me if I wanted to learn, I warned him that I may be a tough student but that I was willing and interested in learning it. I got it in 10 minutes and have been hooked ever since!!! Sudoku isn’t about numbers at all… it’s problem solving, really, but a great side effect has been that my brain is having less of a negative reaction to numbers now since I actually play the game a lot and have become pretty good at it (if I do say so myself). I guess you never know where a solution may come from and you just have to stay open.
Now back to the show.
I’m happy with our final three and feel like any of them taking home the title and all the cool prizes would be great in my book. They are all driven, smart, creative go-getters who will represent well. Yet they still have some hurdles to jump to get it and I’ll be presenting them with some surprises… we’ll see next week if they shake!

Okay! oKay! oKay!
I can live with the drama of these three. I will tell you there is an inimitable producer in this trio. I have an idea, let's play Sudoku to see who it is. Alright then, Let us begin the game, sorry I can't produce music for you,
-- 4,5.
America's Next Producer is the blank spot. You need a hint? Okay, Everyone needs this type of movement, only it's not really movement, it just is.. You don't have the answer?
Okay I'll solve it for you:
9,4,5.
We'll see if I;m right next week.

I haven't seen one episode of ANP, but I have always had an admiration for Ananda Lewis and the image she portrays. I don't know if she actually will see this posting, but if she does... I really can appreciate the work you have done for our youth. Keep up the good work, and if ever have the opportunity to meet you in person, it will be my honor.

I believe "the fix is in", according to their format Jessica should have been eliminated for this challenge. Zo and Gwen clearly had the best pre-game shows. Jessica's piece was more like a PR campaign. Which leads me to believe that the judges have already decided on Jessica as America's Next Producer, so therefore they saved her from elimination by moving everyone to the next challenge. We should only be talking about two people right now.
