'Dear GMA' Advice Guru Search: Meet the Final 4!

Jan. 14, 2011— -- We started with 15,000 amazing applications in the search for the "Dear GMA" Advice Guru, and now it's down to the final four candidates! We're searching for someone to join the "GMA" team and answer questions about love, work, family, and much more.

The top 20 candidates came from all walks of life and from across the country and they answered questions online and shared their holiday advice on "GMA." Earlier this month, we announced the Top 7. For the past week, they've been facing-off in Daily Guru Duels, answering a viewer's question on hot topics.

Then we asked viewers to weigh in on their advice and tell us who they think should get the job! And now it's time to reveal the Final Four!
