SOLUTION:

1) The first thing you need to do is look this book up, and find the real cover, because the clue cover image has some extra words in it. Isolating those added words, they are "to lover of homosexual employee, such as a waitress". This is a reference to a LOST character. If you really know your LOST STUFF, you know that Lisa Reyes dumped her husband, Diego, and ran off with a waitress. Ok... so, we know we're suppose to do something involving LISA REYES, but what?

2) Well, there is another clue in the cover image that is quite obvious. It's part of the title of the book, "CHARACTER PROFILES", which just happens to be one of the features on SWLS. Perhaps we should look at LISA REYES' CHARACTER PROFILE? If we do so, we see a strange note at the bottom of her profile which says, "I didn't really want to leave my husband."

So, we look up Grandpa Tito... "I had some bad luck - you know who is responsible?". Which leads us to Hugo... "I really dig this girl...". Which could lead to Libby (nothing there) or ... Starla... "Secretly, I also admire another friend". This leads us to Johnny... "I'm glad we put gnomes on his yard." Who points us toward Randy... "She was seeing one of my employees." To Helen... "I'm glad he didn't end up being my father-in-law". To Cooper... "At the end? It's what I needed. What I would have done anything to get."

Not ALL information given to you will necessarily be related to the current HUNT. There may be some disinformation included, or, there may be information included that will need to be used in future HUNTS. By putting the pieces of the puzzle together, you will find the solution to the weekly hunt. The first 10 people to enter a correct answer on this page each week will receive points (10pts for 1st, 9 pts for 2nd, and 8pts for 3rd, etc). Whoever has the most points at the end of the game will receive a Season 2 LOST-DVD set in addition to the honor of HUNT CHAMPION.

You are welcome to play, but, you may have to help with the cost of shipping if you win. Also, the DVD format will likely be NTSC. If you require a different format, I will try to accomodate, but there are no guarantees.

Since SWLS Staff don't have any insight into THE HUNT, and no additional benefits above normal users (in relation to THE HUNT), SWLS Staff will be allowed to participate in THE HUNT. However, SWLS staff members will not be eligible for any prizes. In the event a staff member wins, he or she will get the title of HUNT CHAMPION, but the DVD Set (or other prizes) will go to the highest placing normal user.
