Hell, I don't care how they'd edit me... I'd go on that just to travel to cool places.

Me and my sister applied for what was probably 'The Amazing Race 5' and we actually got a call back, but never heard from them aftear a phone interview.

I know a guy who applied for the Real World a few years back. He lied his ass off throughout the entire process, but actually made it to the final round of cuts.

Yeah, my big fear is that I would go through all that time and effort, then get cast..and then be the first one voted off or sent home! I am so competitive that I don't think I would ever get over that!! Oh yeah, and then to see how much people hate on you? Ha Ha...It would ruin me!

My brother got to 2nd or 3rd round of auditions interviews for Survivor

My boss made it to the next-to-last cut for The Apprentice

I've applied for TAR anf a few times for RW/RR. I got a call back from the MTV people but they siad I had changed too much since my video. And since then I haven't gotten called back again. I still think being one of the RW/RR people that I constantly poke fun at would be awesome. :D

So everyone tried out for game shows, but posted in the reality tv tryout thread? -ptth-

Well, I applied and got an interview to be on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (its own kind of adventure :) ), but never got the final call. Their biggest thing was that I shave my head and since I didnt have a huge head of hair, it wouldnt appear to be such a huge change...

Not only have I auditioned for numerous game shows (where I actually made it to some qualifying rounds, but later got my ass handed to me include the upcoming World Series of Pop Culture and the defunct Jep!), I also tried to get on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy when they were shooting Vegas episodes.

That's because these are are the people who can normally take 1-3 months of their life to leave and go live on an island/in a house/motor home

Nope, I don't have 3 months of vacation saved up to do something like this.

sracer 06-11-06 07:36 AM

Yep, I applied for Survivor back in 2001. The application had some interesting questions. And no... I will NOT be making my video available. :wacko: :lol:

criptik28 06-11-06 10:46 AM

Uh...no.

My Brother also got an offer from that same women (See Previous Post) to have these "gay guys" come to his house and redo a couple of rooms. "It's sort of like trading spaces, but you don't do any work," the woman said.

However, my brother didn't have a house - so he called me to see if I wanted to take up the woman's offer. I said "Hell No." While there are some rooms that need a coat of paint - I know what kind of "remodel" these shows do. I figured I would come home to ton's of lime green in the living room, hardwood floors painted black- etc.

Well the kicker is that this show was "Queer Eye" or some early working development of the show.
