Jackson Jambalaya

Homer nods aside, I must insist that you add the newest addition to the Fox40 News staff, Courtney Ann Jackson. Cute, intelligent, articulate and savvy all in one package. What's not to like.

Jawbreaker

Where is Cheryl Lasseter?

Who was the blond that was on the WLBT morning team about six months back? Where did she go?

Sorry, had to reset poll. Its always set for ten days, set it for seven by accident. Its now at ten days.

I'm voting for Wendy Suares..

Since Wendy is gone, my vote goes to Julie Straw. None of the other tv girls come close. Why are there print reporters on here anyway?

Barbie Bassett is NOT a reporter.

Where's Katina Rankin? She's both articulate and attractive. I respect all of the morning news anchors, but Katina Rankin is by far the most well-spoken and charming.

When it comes to reporting the weather, I'd rather watch Barbie than Dave by a mile.

BTW - seeing Walt do weather again was a trip.

where's the Miller girl on 12 weather. big girl, but pretty.;

Linda Allen. Simply put, she's one of those rare women that has it all "in spades." She's hot!

For reasons unknown to me, Kathy Times is no longer with Fox 40 at 9 p.m.
I thought she was so gracious and articulate, and perhaps the most professional newsperson in the area.
I was hoping her absence was because she was on vacation, but when I called the station to inquire I was only told she was no longer with the station.
Huge loss, in my opinion.

Yes! You added Marsha to the poll! Now we have a contest!

Katina is meant for tv. She just walks away with that whole morning show. Paul the weatherman is good too and they have a rapport.

King Fish:
I see that Katina Rankin is now on the list, but as a result, Jewel Hillary is now gone. My favorite will always be Monica Hernandez, But I suppose our loss is New Orleans gain .

What? You don't find Emily Wagster Pettus hot? Talk about bum cakes!

I think they are all hot !

Kingfish is right, we're lucky to have these reporters in this market, ...even if for short time. I'm glad Cheryl Lassiter stayed and "put down roots". Let's hope all of the rest do the same ! While I wish good luck to Wendy & Monica , I also welcome
Jewel and Ashley Conroy . I hope Julie Straw sticks around for a long time as well.

While I'm remembering cute reporters, I must say that I hope lil' Crystal Hilliard and Britney Diehl are doing well up North.

Tracy Ambruster!! She's awesome as a reporter and a sweetie! Beauty comes from inside and out and well, she has both!

Tracy Armbruster! She's the whole package.

This isn't sexist at all.

Courtney Ann Jackson is leading the voting? Are you people serious? She doesn't even have her picture up (which is fine by me) but somehow she's ahead of Julie Straw. Sheesh! How many computers do her parents have anyway?

Yes, I Googled her before voting and commenting. I'm sure she's a nice girl, but that ain't what this poll is about.

Tracy Armbruster

What about Steven Watson?

"What about Steven Watson?"


Is she hot?

My husband would vote for Julie Straw.

wtf is Courtney Ann Jackson..Julie Straw by a landslide! C'mon folks, show some good sense..she's hot, talented, proven, etc...this other girl just got to Jackson

Tracy Armbruster!

Where the heck is Ch. 16's Meg Pace? She's actually a reporter unlike Barbie Bassett.

write in for meg pace! hellooo

Meg Pace is a Jackson girl. Born and raised here.

I agree, this isn't a real competition if Meg Pace from Channel 16 isn't on here.

Seriously Kingfish? You leave off reporters from stations people actually watch but include every single one from the Fox station no one watches? This is not a poll of Jackson's hottest reporters.

Is this sexist ?

No it's not.

It's fun !

Just Good Ole' American competion.

Much like the Miss America pagent.

It "aint all about looks".... Intelligence, talent, charm, ect. are all equally as important.

I wish Kingfish would conduct this poll twice a year.

BTW, I'm pretty sure that due to " technical difficuluties ", Jewel Hillary dissapeared from the poll when Katina Rankin was added.
Let's also get some write-in votes for our newest reporter...Jewel Hillary .

However, I hope Ashley Conroy wins .

Tracy Armbruster is the hottest reporter in all of MS! And now she's weekend anchor! We get to see even more of her. Hot and professional. What more is there?

Once again,

They are all worthy of the title.
Don't you agree

Tracy is fine too .

May the best reporter win !
Don't you agree David 10:22 ?

I vote for Tracy Armbruster. She's beautiful, intelligent, classy and sophisticated. Great reporter, great stories and great to watch.

Who gives a sh%t? Why don't we vote on the hottest crack whore as well? Give me a break? The whole idea of this is so juvenile.

There are HOT CRACK HO's??? Who knew!?!?

Writeins for Jackson's two morning reporters Jewel Hillary and Meg Pace.

"... The whole idea of this is so juvenile."

We are all glad that you possess the ability to rise above it.

ok..this Jackson girl is obviously campaigning for votes..how is she in the lead, when most folks don't even realize that Fox has a morning show!..I call Shenanigans on this poll..Straw all the way you fools

Campaigning is the only explanation why this girl no one has heard of is beating someone as hot as Julie Straw.

My family votes for Tracy Armbruster. She's pretty, sweet and smart. We were glad she did the spokeo.com story. We never knew our info was out there.

Tracy armbruster!!! No question about it!!

Tracy Ambruster is definitely a class act. Plus, she is very pleasing to the eye.

Way to be taken seriously -- run a "Hottest Reporter in Jackson" contest.

Way to make it more important to be hot than, oh, I don't know, any of the many qualities a reporter should have that should be WAAAAAY ahead of hotness.

Nothing wrong with being hot. It just shouldn't be quite this important.

I guess Jackson Jambalaya aspires to be something other than a place to get smarter.

If this is the same Courtney Ann Jackson that I konw then I guarantee she isn't campaigning. I'm sure she is flattered to be on the list, but I doubt she could care less about a silly poll like this.

Morgan Ashley is the the whole package: Brains, Beauty, Personality and look at that smile!!

I don't understand... this is supposed to be for the hottest REPORTER. Not the LEAST EXPERIENCED weather girl. Sorry Morgan.

ZydecoZipper: you must be new around here, and missed the point completely. There's a reason the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition comes out in February, and JJ runs this survey every February.

It's freezing cold out, we traded busted water mains for closed schools and icy roads, and people have cabin fever. Football's over, basketball's almost over, baseball is months away, and people are looking to have a little fun.

There's plenty of opinionatin' pontificatin' and generalized jackassery here the rest of the year, so enjoy the survey, or come back when it's over.

How about a poll deciding which weather person is the most irresponsible and least accurate? That Hartman guy on Ch 16 is a total buffoon and the guy named Tony on Ch 12 grates on my nerves. So how about a poll to choose the worst of the bunch?

zydecozipper - i just got a good picture of what you might look like by reading your post

Poll for worst weatherman or woman in Jackson? I do like the idea.

How is a weatherperson irresponsible?

His or her lips are moving?

All of the JTV ladies are hot! Where is Erin Pickens?

Straw...all the way...WHO is Courtney Ann Jackson...? And why does it seem she is CAMPAIGNING for votes...if she wins, place an asterik next to it

What makes you think Julie Straw isn't campaigning. She has quite a few votes as well and I would say there are plenty of other girls on this list that deserve it over her. Why does last years winner barely have any votes? She couldn't have changed that much.

If you don't know this Jackson girl then watch Fox 40. They have a 6pm and a 9pm show. She's usually on there reporting.

February 9, 2011 7:56 AM: LMAO!

February 9, 2011 9:53 AM: I accept that it is a "guy thing" that we women don't get. I wouldn't feel right without at least one comment posted (from someone--anyone)about it being juvenile. So, I anonymously took one for the team. It just gives me the creeps that my teenage son (like you men) is probably whacking off while watching or thinking of these same reporters on the news.

Fox 40 needs a female to do weather quick. Dave is annoying. More people would watch there show if Dave wasn't a part of there program. I vote a new weather woman for Fox40.

Morgan Miller

Why is that channel 3 lady holding an emmy with the weather guy? God knows ... Katina DID NOT WIN AN EMMY!

Uh... what year was that Barbie Photo taken? There should be a time limit on entry photos. Nothing from the 90's "big hair lady".

Why won't you put my comment about Meg Pace? I think she is gorgeous!

Why is Linda Allen in this competition? No "Man Chicks" allowed!

I've seen Meg Pace out. She is a tall drink of water.

It's OBVIOUS which reporters are getting their friends to stuff the ballot box. Lame.

Let's make this a fair competition. No stuffing the ballot and put all reporters *cough, cough* Meg Pace.

I like Barbie's denim tuxedo. So stylish.

Julie Straw. Yowza. If she were an entree', I would certainly ask for seconds, maybe even , thirds!

Lindsey Slater is by far the HOTTEST. She blows the other weather girls out of the water!!! Beauty and brains!!

I'm sorry, but Scott Simmons is hotter than all these foos.

Hello ... Channel 12 weekend weather girl? Since that Heather with the hair girl left ...i've been hurting. Lindsey? Mo Miller time.

Meg Pace can hold me "accountable" any day!!!

I want to make out with Burt Case baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!! He is sooo hot!!!

DO you think Barbie stuffs the ballot box? Uhmmm...Yes.

Yes! I agree! Beeeeerrrrrt Case for Jackson's Hottest Reporter.

HOW MUCH HAIR SPRAY DOES BARBIE USE ON A DAILY BASIS? THAT DOO IS A HOOT

Ooooooh. Megan West and a side of high heels for me! she is rocking that morning show (and yes meg pace for desert)

NO HOT REPORTER COMMENTS WITHOUT MENTIONING ROSS FROM CHANNEL 12.. otherwise you just short change the conversation

Wow... looks like Tracy Armbruster spends more time commenting on this blog than she does on air. STRAW ALL THE WAY!

TRACY ARMBRUSTER all the way FYI tracy isnt commenting on here

I love the Linda Allen comment

How far has 12's ratings fell. They need more of that Morgan weather to bring things up.

I know Tracy and she would NEVER post a comment on here. She's a classy lady with more important things to do than worry about this stupid poll.

I think Linda, Melissa, Tracy & Morgan make the hottest news team in Jackson. All are professional and hot.

Courtney Ann Jackson? Never heard of her. Must be a covert facebook/twitter campaign going on here.

Linda, Melissa, Tracy and Morgan: Hot Mess maybe ...!

Tracy is beautiful sweet intelligent classy and professional shes the whole package plus some

...please..stop...stuffing...the...ballot..box...

let's be honest folks

Got news for ya, since I started this poll years ago EVERY poll has been stuffed with votes. Just the nature of the beast.

Please. There are more people talking about Channel 12 right now than watching one of their newscasts.

From personal experience Ivy League women have engines that don't quit.

Who wins Best Rack this year?

6:35 who do you nominate?

I've heard Ivy league women don't become real meterologists ... they just walk around talking about racks!!!!!

Guys or girls?

Kathryn Kight has a really great rack. But she's not in the mix this year.

Have to say that pic of Marsha Thompson shows some very nice amplitude modulation.

But saw Julie Straw in the Kroger some weeks back and was really impressed with hers. Julie is no doubt the total package.

It just gives me the creeps that my teenage son (like you men) is probably whacking off while watching or thinking of these same reporters on the news.

Don't worry, be happy. At least your son isn't hitchhiking south thinking about Scott Simmons!

What gives? By this time last year, Haley Westbrook and Lindsay Slater had like 150-votes. Man, the Fox guys were really stuffing the box. Don't know Courtney. But I think you can see what's going on.

I'm curious. How does one go about stuffing the ballot box?

..by having every person THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN come to the site and vote for the..that's how

I stuffed the box for Haley last year.

Maybe it was Lindsey???

"..by having every person THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN come to the site and vote for the..that's how"


Ohhh!....and remind me again how that is wrong, illegal, immoral. Must be using jedi mind tricks or vulcan mind control, just can't help myself....must......vote.....for........ LOL.

Get over yourself you guardians of hottness (or low polling hotties).

it's not wrong per se..just not as accurate a poll on hotness..225 votes for CA Jackson..? Fox 40 doesn't have that many viewers..
Straw all the way

So you're saying it's a "straw" poll. Har!Har! I crack myself up.
