Gerry & Sharon Betterman, Gayle Collinsworth, and Ron & Melanie Rummel were reportedly also terminated, and 15 remaining Diamonds resigned. Cal & Jackie Thurlby elected to remain with Quixtar. Bo and Sandy Short were part of the original Team In Focus group, but they resigned both TIF and their Quixtar distributorship in October, 2001.
Bo Short went on to start a competitive MLM called Passport, which later failed. He then joined another MLM, Oasis Life Sciences, which later became Univera Life Sciences. Bo is also a speaker for organizations. Bo appeared on a Dateline NBC show critical of Quixtar.
After leaving Quixtar, former comedian Andy Andrews went on to a highly successful career writing, speaking and television appearances.
