Good for him. He definitely has the law of attraction working in his favor!
Good luck for the winner,not sure whether it’s a marketing decision, as Ben Southall comes from England.
Woohoo! Congratulations! That’s like six months of all expense paid vacation time :) There were 34000 applicants? Amazing. Maybe if I knew how to swim I’d have applied too. As it goes, I can’t swim, let alone float. Plus I’m afraid of sharks!
Wow Wow Wow!!! Lucky dude. But instead of choosing one winner.. they should have gone for two..of course one female as well. ADAM and EVE ;-)
Lucky guy.getting paid to be on vacation.
