Manhunt: Where Are they Now?
Manhunt winner recently spilled the beans to the SF Chronicle that he had been secretly selected as the winner of the Bravo male modeling reality show two episodes before the final. "'Manhunt' was just a show to exploit all these guys. I'm not afraid to say it — I'm not under Bravo's contract anymore. Secret battles were going on between IMG and Bravo people over who was going to be eliminated, based on who would make good TV.'' Jonsson goes on to say that he hopes he'll make enough in this phase of his career to surf for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, out model Ron (remember the unabashed skydiver with the big hair?) has been spotted in a fashion shoot over at tdink, and he hasn't lost that trademark 'do.
Our man Hunter, the Arkansas whirlwind from DeQueen, has resurfaced with an "authorized" 2006 calendar due to hit stands seven months early, in May.
Any other sightings out there?

If Hunter's PR/management is of the quality of his calendar's website, then he'll be back home waiting/dancing on tables in no time...
To Andy: Glad to see you're safely an East-coaster now. It looks like the change in venue has rejuvenated your creative juices...

I like Jon's attitude. He's not so cowed by the establishment (which is kinda what you expect from a surfer) and he doesn;t have delusions of grandeur. I smiled at the idea of him wanting to earn money in order to durf for the rest of his life. Cool guy!
I saw the A&F picture. You wouldn't know that Jon won the contest, since Rob was the focus of that picture.

Oh, I see Ron all over the NYC - theater, dinner, subway, streets... Who knows maybe I'll see him tonight amidst the blizzard...
Wouldn't mind a reality 3-way with Rob and BMB's Wes... Hmmm

Hey guys JUst to keep you guys updated..the model ron i saw doing both ny and la fashion week in the bryant park tents and the mercedes benz fashion week tents he looked amazing and def deserved to stay longer on the show but i guess like he said in a recent magazine interview "its not what you do on the show that really matters, but what you do after the show the determines who the real models are" here are some links to some of his work after the show http://www.foleycorinnamen.com/ click on gallery then fall 2006...http://www.michaelwesetly.com/fall_2006/index.php click on fall winter 2006..keep a look out for ron he is doing big things!!!
