Jonathan Van Clute and Jani Gaffor SMOKED them by contrast on the first day of the two day challenge.

It is going to be interesting to see if Uberaffiliate is able to pump enough money into Collin LaHay’s campaigns to buy him the win.  Rumor on the set has it that Paul hates Jonathan VanClute and would do anything to see him trounced in the show finale.  There has even been talk of Paul pumping whatever he needs to into Colin LaHay’s campaigns to push him over the top.

We have heard that Uber wants to show his readers what a joke this show is by buying a win for a contestant and then posting a picture of him holding the Wright’s Jewelers Immunity Ring.  It is no secret that Uber basically pumped $1600 into Collin LaHay’s account in the first individual challenge.  Collin knows he has an ace in his pocket when he needs it.

The question is, did Collin play his cards too soon, and how much money is a Paul willing to spend to be a part of the show when he could have just auditioned in the first place for free?

Jonathan VanClute is clearly intimidated by Uber based on his confessionals on the set.  Will he be able to hang in there against Collin, or was the Uber account pump a one time deal?

I have to say that I BELIEVE in the Top Affiliate Challenge product.  There were some unexpected twists and turns along the way, but in the end I think we are wrapping up the show in pretty good shape.

Today we eliminated John Chow in a move that no one expected, and we are down to our victorious guru, Ken McArthur and six of the top contestants we had in the cast.

Life threw us curve balls and we rolled with the punches.  now we have six highly motivated earners and once we cut through the reaction to the Chow elimination expect some in-depth education as we reduce the number of contestants.

Thanks for sticking with the show.  Each episode gets better and better in so many ways, and I wish all of you could be here to see the amazing hours our contestants and video people have been putting in.  It is nearly super-human.

Collin De Ruyck got the call and stepped up to the challenge.  The second Canadian to make it into the Top Affiliate Challenge Cast,  Collin is a plumber by trade and a single father.  You can read his complete show bio here.

They are:

• Collin Lahay
• Ian Fernando

With that said, I remember what it was like when I sat by the phone and waited for the phone call from Eric Holmlund when he selected me to appear on Next Internet Millionaire.  I have been through a process very similar to this one before and I know emotions run high.

We have pointed out from the beginning that Top Affiliate Challenge is a multi-season event.  If you were not selected by the producers for one of the two final slots, we all STRONGLY encourage you to submit another video for next season.  There were some really great people in the top 25% that we could not select - we only had 2 slots available.

Thank you so very much to everyone who auditioned.  You have our word that an entertaining and informative show is in store for you in a mere 2 weeks.  Our product IS the show, and everything we have will be available for FREE on the website.  It is our hope that you will be entertained and learn a lot  from our gurus, contestants, and bonus footage clips.
