Are you going to play around with the voting again? Not fair. It's not that good. It's forced and could tell you were working at it. Not a win!!!!!!!!

Nora? Are you crying?

mcremer,
No I'm not. I'm actually getting a kick out of your comments and the last one with the "plastic bag" really makes me laugh. Like I said, it's only the way I see it and after all it is a contest so they have put themselves out there for every kind of remark. I'm pushing for Elizabeth Reynolds!!!! I hope she wins.

Great job. True to the Mad Men concept. Different from how John Hamm delivered the lines, but authentic to the character nonetheless. Compliments to the wardrobe mistress too - gotta love those skinny lapels and that pocket square. Even the wood paneling is appropriate.

Congrats on making the finals. You were my favorite video and I'm glad to see you make it this far.

As for you Ms. Nora Paradiso, it is clear that you are envious of Ty's natural acting skills. You have failure written all over your "head shot".

I'm so happy and not at all surprised that you made the finals. Clean and interesting performance. Fits the concept of the show perfectly. Congratulations.

I love this entry! Your voice and delivery fit seamlessly into the aesthetic of the show and I like that you gave a clean performance without all the gimmicks. I found this very believable and not forced at all! Congrats!!!

Wow Nora, way to rain on the finalists' parade! How are those sour grapes tasting?

Nora:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*hands Nora some no more tears shampoo*

Congratulations! I hope you go all the way. Seems like you fit right in with this cast.

Stepped right off the streetcar and into the diner. Love the delivery. Best of luck!

Good job, Ty!

what a cheater, this guy!

submitted a solid performance AND got lots of votes??

I CALL SHENANIGANS!

great job, dude.

Congrats Ty for making it to the finals! You did an awesome job. All of your family and friends back in Iowa are so proud of you! Love ya!

Thanks everyone. Even Nora who believes I have the wherewithal to fiddle with any voting process. Y'all know I am just trying to get my clothes on TV.

Here's the new bumper sticker: I like Ty!
Well done. Lifted right out of th show. Good luck.

Congrats on making it to the finals, man!

Plus, wtf? Does Nora want a pillow?

FYI, cowardly and shameful Nora Paradiso is now going by the name "justwondering" with a new photo.

Pay no attention to these nerds that hide behind their computers and take jabs at people. Any place you can add a comment you'll find this "nerd rage". You know what I'm talking about Nora. Talk to someone. Let it go I'm so so serious. Turn your computer off, go outside and give someone a compliment. It may just fill that emptiness you feel on the inside. Pay this forward Nora. Tell a friend.

Good job Ty.. Well deserved. I'll be sure to send this to everyone in my address book to help you get your numbers up. That's what friends do.

Ty
You've got the look and feel of Man Men. Wonderful job and very believable. Love your confidence, you really shine here:) Good Luck

This “contest” was like something Pete Campbell would have contrived, straight out of a Mad Men script. Its only purpose was to serve its host (AMC TV) at the expense of most of those involved. This was not a contest that was based on talent, creativity, originality or quality in any way. It was a shameless MARKETING CONTEST and should have been advertised as such.

The majority of the finalists in the “contest” are there for one reason only; they are networked to hundreds of people who cast votes for them based solely on relationship. It was obvious and everyone knows it. If these people had submitted videos of a dog taking a dump in the park, they still would have gotten their 400 to 1000 votes from their connections/networks.

A lot of the show’s fans and supporters who worked hard to produce quality submissions never stood a chance in this “contest”. I think I can see where the inspiration for the characters on the show comes from. Don Draper may not have slept with any of the “contest” entrants’ wives, but a lot of talented people got screwed. But congratulations AMC; you got your webpage hits. Mission accomplished. SHAME ON YOU!

Way to be BH...

wow! there are a lot of people upset that they didn't have enough friends who wanted to vote for them!

"MaddestGirl" - I hope you left that pity party diatribe on every other submission so everyone on this site can see what a sad, sad person you are.

haha, to be honest I thought my performance was a little better than a dog taking a dump. Maybe a dog taking a dump that is really interested in advertising. Look , this IS just a marketing tool, we all know that and it is nothing to be ashamed of. There is a way to get on the show through raw talent and hard work.
Its called "the entertainment industry". You go that route and you could get paid and everything!

Thanks everyone!

Hey MG. Ty's not even the top in votes right now. Why are you being so butthurt?

Newsflash: this is supposed to be just a fun little contest! Some of these people are acting like this is a contest to win the last seat in the last lifeboat leaving the Titanic.
The winner will probably get to walk on, hand Pete Campbell a sandwich, and walk off...that's it! SO GET OVER IT!

GREAT job, Ty! I hope you get to hand Pete Campbell that sandwich!

heh. Ty would do a great job at handing someone a sandwich. Hey Ty, would you hand me a sandwich?

Why are people crying?
This is a great performance!
It sucks that people get so upset.

You did a great job, Ty.
I'm pushing for ya, and I hope all the naysayers will cheer up.

Good job! I think it's great you you sent in your video! You and your wife must have had fun working on it! You, and your wife, AND son should be proud of the finished product!

Ok, Ty, go for it! Go get that rabbid group of folks that voted for you before. Crumbine is going for it. You too! Your video is good, by the way. I was just being a sore loser. Sorry! I see my shortcomings. Now, go for it! You're good!

Ty, great job! I love your take, look, articulation and especially the way you deliver the final line - "you're OK" is just perfect. I'm rooting for ya!

Great similarity to the original character.

Good luck, Ty! Your video is excellent, and so well directed! :)
