Cameron Spam!

So first of all, I'm not really a fan of Glee (or a gleek), but I don't hate it either. I watch it only when it comes on, whenever I happen to chance upon it. I admit I am quite entertained by it, though. Understandably, I only have an on-the-surface-type knowledge of everything that's going on in the show. So, I was a bit surprised to discover a new reality show on TV one day that seemed to revolve around auditions for Glee and it was called The Glee Project. Here are (well for some, were) the contestants:

But wait, who is that super cute red-haired guy to the far right with his thumbs in his pockets? Well, after watching every episode of The Glee Project since catching it on TV that one time, I've come to know his name: Cameron Mitchell, a 21 year old Texas-born, self-proclaimed nerd. I was hooked. Every episode, I hoped he wouldn't get eliminated, and he never did. I was sure he was going to win. I even wondered if I might watch Glee diligently in the near future if he does win. (Cameron picture spam commencing...)

*squeals* He has red hair!

*squeees* He can sing!

*gyaaaa* He can play the guitar!

*gdagjrajrab* He is sooo cute!

Ehem. Anyway, about two days or so ago, I tuned into another episode of The Glee Project and everything was going great until...the director asked Cameron to kiss one of his co-contestants. He refused, causing him to be placed in the bottom three. The three of them were offered last chance performances and this was Cameron's, The Beatles' Blackbird: 

After his performance, he was confronted once again about the kissing thing and what he would do if it would be required of him for the show. Cameron was silent for a while, before announcing that he would still stand firm by his beliefs and that maybe this wasn't for him right now. Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy came by his room afterwards and even asked him to stay but Cameron seemed sure of his decision, even if he wasn't supposed to be the one eliminated at that point. 

Cameron is a Christian and he has a girlfriend (unfortunately for me and a bazillion other people who are probably fawning over him, too), which therefore explains why he wasn't too comfortable about all the sexuality-themed stuff during that episode. I was shocked, to say the least. I just stood there in front of the television, mouth wide open starting from Cameron's announcement of his quitting, through the commercial break and until the show finally resumed, showing Cameron saying his good-byes and leaving.

However, I'm glad he decided to stick by his beliefs. That was really brave and mature of him. Sigh, this makes me like him even more. Ah well, now that he's gone, I should move on to my next hopeful, the smoking hot guy with the dreads. What was his name, again?

Oh yes, Samuel Larsen.

Giggle,
