This is not new, but still relevant: CBS announced awhile back that it's casting for Survivor 9, to film this summer, and broadcast in the fall. You've got to Jan 24 to get your application and video in. RealityTVWorld story here. Forms here.
You won't catch me auditioning this time. Lost interest in being a Survivor awhile back. I really wanted to be on the first one, when it was still a great unknown. The next couple would have been cool too, but now, it's kinda gotten down to riffraff. They pulled the All Stars thing just in time. But that will definitely be the sharp-jumping moment for that show. Who would want to be a second-tier Survivor, in the fading twilight of the show?
In other news, it's pretty safe to report now, that my friend Joe and I did not get picked for The Amazing Race 5. Didn't even make the first cut to the semi-finals. It's been safe to say for some time, but I've been kinda busy. But I can finally say that that's why I took the trip to LA this fall: just to meet with Joe to make an audition video. Plus it was a good excuse to get out of Denver, when I was going stir crazy. And coming right after the NYC trip, it solidified my feelings on where I wanted to move. (More on that later.)
But yeah. Went all the way to LA, just to make a tape to send in. I imagine 99% of the population would see that as either retarded and/or pathetic, but it's just a gauge of how badly I wanted an adventure like that. But this Drive Around the World thing might do it instead.
And I kinda think that will be the last reality show I'll ever audition for. But never say never.
