Thank you all! / Merci à tous !

March25

I really want to thank you all. Even if the competition is not finished yet, your votes and support put me in the 5th place in votes (out of 50 candidates!) and this is quite an achievement. I especially want to thank , my family, my girlfriend Maud, my friends, my coworkers, my volleyball club, Ecully’s bridge and Beaujolais golf clubs, and last but not least, all my Facebook fans!

Clare from Taïwan won the Wild Card with some 150,000 votes! Wow! She is the first candidate selected to go to Hamilton Island for the final selection. However, 10 other (within the 50) candidates will be chosen by Tourism Queensland on April 2. I’m crossing fingers, even if luck has not much influence!! Then, the 11 candidates will meet on Hamilton Island during 2+ days to take interviews and group activities. Results will be announced on May 6.

Salut ben,

Tu es sur la dernière ligne droite. Mon petit doigt me dit que tu vas gagné.
J’ espère que mon intuition sera la bonne. En tout cas ton blog est super sympa.

Bon courage à toi.
