Comments on: Rebecca’s in the final round! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/09/17/rebeccas-in-the-final-round/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Best of luck to the hot skeptic. Damn, I’ve never heard her speak, but she’s hot. Best of luck to the hot skeptic.

The world needs more people like her." Exactly!! And also.. I think that intelligent, skeptic girls are sexy.. Is there a skepchick dating-site? :-) All the best of luck! You rock! (and so does Phil, but he isn't sexy.. To me..) “… and so can pass on the word of critical thinking for years to come. The world needs more people like her.”

Her sample show was great. I checked out some of the other contestants and couldn't see any real substance to their programs, at least there wasn't anything you couldn't get somewhere else. The only way Rebecca could lose is if the judges are a bunch of woo woo worshippers themselves and don't want a "cynic" on board. I agree, Rebecca is a natural at this and I gave her top rating.

It's what happens when you combine brains and beauty. Good (skeptical) luck, Rebecca. We are all behind you. I suppose this means more pair-bonding proposals for the skeptical rogue.
