Remember when Elle joined the show back in the autumn time of 2008. Was a great time after a nice summer of blue skies and golden cornfields.
She came on after her audition won the hearts of all the shows subscribers, myself counted among them.

Very sweet, soft spoken and rocking a cute hairstyle…very princess like.

Though barely 3 months later….she vanished. A great shame we all thought, but was nothing new to the program …..hell they ran a 2 month talent contest for the show 2 years prior…where we all voted from a whole host of candidates to become a full fledged anchor on the show.
The actual winner (who I did NOT want) lasted 1 week and was gone, never to be seen on the show again.

But it all worked out, the runner up, Valentina….the one I WANTED to win became a full fledged anchor and was with the show for the next 3 years.

Throughout 2009, Elle was but a distant memory to most people but suddenly re-emerged approximately 1 years after her disappearance from the show, right at the same time I quit my membership, though I still had almost a full year of membership remaining before it expired.

Elle was a lot different to her original debut, a lot more feisty, kind of badass with a certain hint of attitude (not in a bad way) and looked more kind of femme fatale with a “take no crap” kind of vibe to her.
Very good at what she did…was quite the pro at interviewing people in the street.

Those were the days!
