MTV News Rankings Predictions for 2nd semester of 2007-2008

Samsung MTV News Rankings Predictions for the 2^nd semester of 2007-2008

1. Tim Kash [15 WKS @1; 10 WKS @#2; 878 PTS]

2. Kim Stolz [13 WKS @1; 10 WKS @#2; 775 PTS]

3. Sway Calloway [2 WKS @#1; 16 WKS #1; 489 PTS]

4. John Norris [3 WKS @#1; 4 WKS @#2; 357 PTS]

5. Kurt Loder [0 WKS @#1; 0 WKS @#2; -453 PTS]

6. Liz Hernandez [0 WKS @1; 0 WKS @#2; -424 PTS]

7. SuChin Pak [DQ] [7 WKS @#1; 0 WKS @#2; -100 PTS]

SCORECARD: Tim Kash and Kim Stolz both will be battling for #1. Sway has come a long way since September, and will continue to dominate. John Norris has some punch left, so a couple of vulture #1s are possible. SuChin Pak fizzled out after 10/12/2007, and could see a pink slip.

Hernandez and Loder will have -400+ PTS by the time Memorial Day comes.

What Went Right and What Went Wrong

SCORECARD (From August 2007): SuChin Pak will dominate the polls, but Tim Kash and Kim Stolz have different plans, and Norris could play his way into the picture (however, he needs to be fired from MTV News) if the cards fall right. Liz Hernandez will never see the #1 spot in the poll, and neither Loder nor Hernandez will see the light of day this year in the polls, and 2 correspondents finished with negative points. John Norris's days of being in the Top 3 are over. Sway Calloway will be the see-saw correspondent in the polls. So, expect another Pak-dominated poll this year. This poll started in September 2004, in reaction to the impending NHL Lockout. Back then, it was a guessing game as to who was #1? In the 2005-2006 season, it was a dullfest. the 2006-2007 season, the season was shortened due to a contract dispute; however, later on in the shortened season, Pak was the victor of the year.
My Hypothesis: Pak will be the victor again, but Kash and Stolz are lurking close to the prize

What Went Right?

· Tim Kash and Kim Stolz gave SuChin Pak a run for her money.

· Pak did dominate the 1^st quarter, but faded the 2^nd.

· Sway was the see-saw reporter, but he was more up than down, as evidenced by

Calloway’s 10 weeks at #2, but no weeks at #1.

· Liz Hernandez and Kurt Loder competing for the worst reporter (statistically) title.

· 2 MTV News correspondents finished the 1^st semester with negative points.

· Norris did play his way into contention, especially after Week 10.

· The MTV/MySpace Presidential Dialogues were a success.

· Gideon Yago returned to MTV News with a standing ovation.

· Kash and Stolz both were to be all-stars, similar to what Pak did 6+ years ago.

· Pak had the longest consecutive #1 streak.

· 1,000 PTS would be a real possibility.

What Went Wrong?

· John Norris was predicted to have his reign of #1s done, but way off there as he was #1 once and #2 twice.

· SuChin Pak falls from #1 in standings to #4.

· Kash and Stolz both were not predicted to be within 120 Points of #1, but given Pak’s

AWOL of over 2+ months, it did happen.

· John Norris was the main see-saw guy, but was on the down end more than up, despite

him being #1 once and #2 twice.

· Pak was supposed to have a 400+ point edge by the time Christmas rolled around, but

due to s**tty decisions by MTV News Management, Pak was cheated out of her lead by her

evil rival, John Norris; also, Tim Kash has a 51-point lead over Stolz.

· TRL changed its format.

· MTV News fired Gideon Yago back in January 2007.

· Pak went from a Must-start every week to the inactive roster.

2^nd Semester Preview of the MTV News Rankings.

· New Rules announced (sometime in February during the MTVNRAC)

· Will Kim Stolz and Tim Kash continue to dominate?

· When will John Norris be fired?

· When will SuChin Pak get back her airtime-- that’s if she’s still on MTV News?

· Will Kurt Loder continue his reign as the worst MTV News reporter?

· Who will end up on top by Memorial Day, 2008?

· Can the MTV/MySpace Dialogues continue to be a success?

· Will MTV News hire another correspondent or two?

Predictions for the 2^nd Semester

· Either Kash or Stolz wins the title.

· Tim Kash will have approx. 900 PTS.

· Kim Stolz will have approx. 750 PTS.

· John Norris will have some impact, as will Sway Calloway.

· SuChin Pak sadly will be missed as an MTV News reporter.

· MTV will only get worse.

· Kurt Loder will be gone within the next 6 months to 2 years.

· Bush and Cheney will be impeached.

· TRL will continue with their crappy format.

· Sway will end up with approx. 450 PTS.

· Loder and Hernandez will have -500+ points.

· MTV/MySpace Dialogues are a success.

· MTV News hires a new correspondent or two, like in 2007 with Kash and Stolz.

My Hypothesis: Tim Kash will have his name on the trophy, but Kim Stolz will fight until the very last week for it. Sway might get a chance for the prize, if everything goes his way and both Kash and Stolz have a very lengthy slump (That happened to SuChin Pak earlier this semester.)
