The Blue-Ribbon Panel:
David Fumero (Cristian), Catherine Hickland (Lindsay), Hairstylist Laurie Filippi, Makeup Artist Renate Long, Director Gary Donatelli

MOST STYLISH: Timothy Gibbs (Kevin). He’s always looking good. I’ve never seen him not stylin’. Whenever he’s around here, whenever he’s anywhere, he’s always wearing stylish clothes. And whatever he wears, he looks good.”-David Fumero

UNINTENTIONAL FLIRT: Robert S. Woods (Bo). “The trick about that for him is that he’s not really an outward flirt; he’s just so darn charming that women flock to him and they don’t know why! Women are just in awe of him and they honestly don’t know what’s going on. It’s hilarious. It’s wonderfully hilarious.”-Catherine Hickland

CLASS CLOWN: Mark Derwin (Ben). “He made up nicknames for everybody—he calls everybody by a nickname. We turned the tables on April Fool’s Day: “We told him that in the upcoming weeks, he was on the run and had to dress as a woman. We put full makeup, wig, wardrobe—dressed him in a dress, high heels—and he fell for it! Then, we said the producer was in the rehearsal hall waiting. We didn’t tell him they were having a production meeting. There were about 25 people sitting at a board table, and he walked in as a woman!”-Laurie Filippi

FRIENDLIEST TO NEWCOMERS: Erika Slezak (Viki). “She’s like the mother of the show. She welcomes everybody. She tells them what to do, where to go and she’s very helpful.”-Renate Long

LEAST LIKER HER CHARACTER: Catherine Hickland (Lindsay). “There are some facets of Catherine’s personality that might not be understood by people who take her as a villain. Could you imagine Lindsay singing? Pal-ing around with the guys?”-Gary Donatelli
