From those descriptions, I don't think I want to read ANY of their blogs. Young mum? We have that blog. Listomanic? We have that blog (looking at you, Jane). Unhip white guy? My god, I REALLY don't want to listen to his "relationship woes".

Perhaps the single gay male or the home renovator may be mildly interesting but nothing is ever going to replace the deliciously self deprecating mistrials of the Lost Boys. Greer was OK - sometimes erring towards cringeworthy megalomania, but entertaining for the most part - but unless these contestants have really fantastic blog ideas that DO NOT, repeat DO NOT centre around their [tedious, predictable] comedy-of-errors lives, I'm pretty much heading over to the Aussie version of Stuff to read some really good blogs...

well that seems a little unfair. who let a superhero enter the competition? how does someone with an ordinary name like alex compete with captain awesome??

I agree with Slippery, not much of interest there. And you think Stuff editors would have learned that writers who write around a particular subject become stale and boring very quickly.

As for my own audition, I don't know if it was 'strong'... but then again my own blog pulls in more individual viewers in a day than all Stuff's blogs combined (even on the days I don't post anything), so what do I know? Well, I guess I know how to write a popular webpage... HAhahahahaaaaa!

@ #1 LOL at your rant!

I'm looking forward to reading the entries - would have loved to enter myself but just couldn't think of anything anyone would be interested in :D

I bet Captain Awesome actually isn't.

To Stuff peeps, thanks for the opportunity to enter, though I didn't finish in the Top 10 :) The competition has inadvertently sparked my interest in writing for my own blog again, so its going gangbusters at the moment. All the best with the comp!

Ah Slippery Slope you cynical commenter. Captain Awesome will amuse your every high and mighty desire. What do you want to hear about from my lofty soapbox of awesomeness?

No seriously, that sounded like a challenge - you name the topic...and I'll make it my Day 3 masterpiece. Unless its some sad sack intellectual averageness of course.

Darth, darth, darth.

Day 3 - your views on whether Brangelina are indeed encouraging the Shiloh child into transgendered territory? Or the issue of infuriating slow walking pedestrians?

Your choice ;)

I always wanted to do a blog on the right way to hang a roll of toilet paper... loose end out, or in touching the wall. But as I failed the audition, I guess that won't be coming to a computer screen near you any time soon. :-)

I refuse to make comment on Brangelina...her lips scare the bejesus out of me, they have thier own orbit.

So slow walking pedestrians it is.

Done and done.

none of these self-important musings on life will be worth reading. someone should write about my fav band the beatles, they're so good and so fab.
