  1. OK, the ones you would expect to be hot clearly are, and vice versa. I had forgotten to do this, and she is quite lovely and good on camera, but isn’t Nefertiti Jaquez the greatest name in the history of media? I just love it! You get images of old Havana and the Nile in the same mind rush. How about that?

  2. I don’t think Joy Purdy’s photo is representative of how pretty she is though. Robb’s could be better as well.

  3. Just because she has lots of energy (which I do not think is bad by the way) that doesn’t maker her dumb. I’ve worked with DUMB anchors, and I’d take her any day over some of them.

  4. “she is quite lovely and good on camera, but isn’t Nefertiti Jaquez the greatest name in the history of media? I just love it!”

    “Indeed, it’s a beautiful name.”

    You guys are crazy. Nefertiti’s parents should have lost their parental rights when she was a little girl the second they gave her this absolutely, undeniably ridiculous name. And “good” and “lovely” are the exact opposite of how I would describe her on-camera performance.

    Joy Purdy, however, is genuinely pretty and seems genuinely nice. She doesn’t come across as dumb to me at all.

  5. Nefertiti was the name of an Egyptian queen (the wife of an Egyptian pharoah). We can’t hate on her parents for that, can we? At least it’s not some random made-up name or her parents trying to be “cute”. It seems they wanted to name her after an African queen. Not bad if you ask me!

  6. I THINK JOY PURDY AND NEFERTITI JAQUEZ ARE BOTH HOT!

    TRANSITFAN: DO YOU KNOW THE LADY? WHY GO AROUND AND SAY SHE’S DUMB AS BRICKS? I CAUGHT HER ON T.V. YESTERDAY, AND SHE SEEMED GOOD TO ME.

    JODIE: YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AFRICAN HISTORY TO GO AROUND KNOCKING A NAME LIKE “NEFERTITI”

    I AGREE IT’S A DIFFERENT NAME, AND MAYBE NOT SOMETHING WE’RE USED TO IN THE T.V. BIZZ. BUT I THINK IT’S A NICE NAME, I THINK SHE DOES HAVE GOOD ON-CAMERA PRESENCE, AND I’M ALL FOR THE AFRICAN QUEEN DOIN HER THANG

  7. The parents who make up those retarded names should have their rights terminated too.

    As for the ridiculous name “Nefertiti,” you’d think she would have had the sense to change it for TV, like many other reporters change their weird/distracting names. The first time anyone sees a report from her, they end up not paying attention to a word she says, because all they’re thinking about is, “is her name REALLY Nefertiti???” before shaking their heads for the next 1:30.

  8. jodie are you white? it’s just interesting to me how you keep bashing the name of an african queen. do you have no sense of history or someone’s heritage?

  9. Yeah, OK maybe “dumb” is a tad harsh. But she can say some really stupid things at times. Take a close listen sometime.

  10. I DISAGREE WITH JODIE:

    I THINK HER NAME IS A GREAT NAME. IT CATCHES THE ATTENTION OF VIEWERS. ALSO, I THINK PEOPLE OF COLOR CAN APPRECIATE THAT SHE’S NOT “LOSING” HERSELF IN THIS BIZZ. HER NAME IS NOT WEIRD OR DISTRACTING, IT’S ORIGINAL, AND DIFFERENT.

    A MESSAGE TO “Jodie”:

    Nefertiti is a nice name. She was the “African Queen of Egypt.”

    “Jodie,” What’s YOUR first and last name? Oh. What on earth was I thinking. I’m sorry. You’re too much of a coward to enter it in the blog. Why? Because you “seem” like a racist.

    You typed the following: “Nefertiti’s parents should have lost their parental rights when she was a little girl.”

    Who are YOU to bash her name? Who are you to bash her parents?

    “Jodie” not everyone is named: Sam, Jack, Amy, Adam, Mat or Pat. Nefertiti brings something unique and refreshing to the “diverse media table.” We must celebrate the diversity in media, not anonymously bash it.

  12. I’ve been reading this site for two years, and I do have to say of all the chats we’ve had – this is by far the STUPIDEST conversation EVER! Who gives a fuck what her name is???? Its exotic and different, so what?? Shes satisfying whoever was insiting before that we need variety in Miami, well we have it. Shes also a good reporter too, come on…you want to take her parents’ rights away. Its one thing to attack an on air personality bc they put themselves in the public spotlight. And even if you were just kidding, thats down right rude. The original conversation was about the new pictures on CBS 4’s website. Some of them appear to be a little different, but from what I can see it just looks like the background has changed. And as for this question of names, its not uncommon for news personalities o change their name for their on air purposes, for all we know Nefertitii might not even be her real name. Or the other posability is that she personally likes it and obviously CBS 4 likes it to! Now – no more talk about god damn names!

  13. I’m sorry I started this, I guess I should have just drooled over Elita Loresca, but isn’t that overdone? BTW, names mean nothing. Jodie is also a male name…to wit, Jodie Dallas, played by Billy Crystal in “Soap.” I also think Joy is nice. If she was dumb, wouldn’t she be at 7?

  14. i love the cbs4 photos! they’re hot!
    it looks like someone over there really knows what they’re doing.
    i disagree with david …their makeup looks much better and more uniformed ..it’s not just a background change.
    congrats!
