Looks like there’s some buzz about the name change on Richard Davis’ real estate show (which started out as Flip This House on A&E, then became the new show “The Real Deal”, which is now “The Real Estate Pros” — even though the only thing that changed was the graphic and the announcer voiceover).
My wife and I realized that, nowadays, only one thing really comes to mind when you think “Deal” in a television program title. Or, maybe “No Deal”. Bald guy and aluminum suitcases? Sure. Southern real estate company? Not quite. At least the title “The Real Estate Pros” leaves no doubt as to what the topic is, right?
Here’s something very odd. A couple sites on the internet name Kari Byron’s spouse as Paul Urich. But on May 25, 2007, Kari’s Wikipedia entry had Paul Urich’s name removed and changed to “None”. The next day, that same IP address changed the spouse name to “Trevor Shelffoot” (vandalism of the page, I’m sure), then someone removed that 50 minutes later and left it blank.
According to the Internet Movie Database entry, she’s been married to Paul since March 2006, and I certainly hope that’s still the case!
Assuming the photo cutline at Needles + Pens is correct, here’s a photo of Paul and Kari:
Can’t believe I didn’t spot this sooner… but here’s six and half minutes of Kari talking to David Letterman last year. She does talk about her imfamous “butt scan” that got her hired on Mythbusters… plus her work as a martini taster, travel to Southeast Asia and painting a mural on her hotel wall in Egypt.
It’s not surprising that there are lots of sites out there buzzing about the “strong” relationship that Richard and Ginger have. But I really don’t think anything inappropriate is going on between them. Richard Davis realizes that Ginger Alexander is a popular figure on his television show. So, he features Ginger a lot. I wonder if the same kinds of “play” and “banter” happen with other women around the Trademark Realty office, but we only see the Richard/Ginger conversations?
Looking through the web searches on another blog of mine, for some reason I picked up a hit when somebody searched for “kari byron pregnant”. Who would think that? The whole wedding-ring thing was interesting when it happened — I’ll have to dig up an update on that — but what triggered the pregnancy rumor?
