Hi strawless,

Both The Amazing Race and Survivor require U.S. citizenship, and be at
least 21 years of age.

THE SEARCH IS ON FOR 16 NEW SURVIVORS!!! 
http://teentvmovies.about.com/library/blaud-survivor.htm

Applications for the Tenth Installment of "Survivor" 
The search is on for 16 new survivors!!!  Application forms for the
tenth installment of SURVIVOR are available exclusively at
www.CBS.com.  Application forms are being accepted now through June
22, 2004 at 5:00 PM, PT and must be accompanied by a three-minute
videotape.

Additionally, open casting calls will be conducted at participating
CBS owned-and- affiliated stations across the country in order to
provide hopefuls with a means to make a three-minute videotape. 
Details regarding the open casting calls will be announced at a later
date by participating cities.

Once all the tapes have been reviewed, the producers will fly to
cities across the country to conduct in-person interviews with the
selected semi-finalists.  These interviews will then be used to
determine the finalists who will fly to Los Angeles for additional
interviews and extensive physical, psychological and background
checks.  A final cutdown will form the group of 16 who will
participate in the tenth installment of SURVIVOR, to be broadcast in
2005.

The program will once again feature 24-hour-a-day camera coverage to
chronicle the relationships and conflicts that develop.  Viewers will
watch as strangers are forced to rely on one another to survive while
also being forced to eliminate each other in order to claim the title
of "Sole Survivor" and the $1 million prize.  At the conclusion of
each episode, the participants will be required to form a tribal
council and conduct a secret-ballot vote to expel one of their
colleagues from the tribe.  In the final episode of the series, two
finalists will be judged by the seven individuals previously voted
off.  These seven will cast their votes and determine the sole
survivor.

The location for the tenth installment of SURVIVOR has yet to be announced. 


CBS: Survivor Casting Call.

This page from the official web site has everything you'd ever want to
know about applying to be on the next Survivor.

According to the Casting Call Eligibility Rules, contestants must be
21 years old or older, U.S. citizens, and in excellent physical and
mental health. In addition, a good survivor is:

If you think you qualify, you'll have to submit a three-minute
videotape of yourself saying who are you and why you would make the
ultimate survivor. (This video becomes the property of CBS, so even if
you're not chosen to be on the show, your audition tape could still
get on air -- thus giving you 15 minutes of fame without having to eat
bugs!) You'll also need to send a photocopy of your U.S. passport, one
passport-sized photo, and a completed application form.

If you need help in applying, I think we can give you a good shove in
the right direction.

First you will need to have a decent appearance. Try shaving off that
weak piece of fuzz that faintly resembles a moustache and, as for the
men, a little 5 o'clock shadow seems to be in vogue so let it grow for
a few days.

Next you need to come up with a "hook". That is an industry term for
something that grabs the audience and keeps them coming back for more.
Richard Hatch walked around nude. True, an image most of us could live
without, but we kept coming back to see who would finally bring the
strutting chunk of flab, down a peg or two. Rupert promotes the role
of a big, lovable teddy bear. And, like a teddy bear, he is cuddly,
warm hearted and totally oblivious to the forces working to plot his
downfall. Will he survive? Ah, that's the hook. That's what keeps us
coming back. If you can't come up with a good hook I thought of one
you might want to try. I haven't seen a single transvestite on any of
the game shows - give it some thought. Your friends will understand
and, should you attempt this bold maneuver, let's hope your wives
divorce lawyer understands as well.

Finally you will need an audition tape. The best ones show the
applicants doing something strange, if not psychotic, to showcase
their talents in front of the selection committee who in most cases,
are a bit psychotic themselves. A simple sit-down, explaining your
hopes, dreams, aspirations and qualifications would be great if you
were applying for a position with Halliburton, but reality TV has
absolutely nothing to do with the real world so scrap that concept
from the get go. You will be judged on originality, appearance, and a
demonstrated willingness to do just about anything to win. No matter
how high the cost. To conclude your perfect application, say nothing
that makes any sense whatsoever. Stick to lines like, "To paraphrase
Eric Staffle, the noted sociologist, I believe that our roles are best
described by the roles others take as they perceive our roles to be,
and as we perceive our roles based on their roles in the overall
scheme of the scenario. And that is how I will play this game." I
assure you, rather than admit to ignorance in front of his or her
peers nearly all TV producers will say something like, "That's a
thought, I think he might be on to something."

If you are really serious about auditioning you might want to take a
look at the Casting Central Newsletter of Reality TV Calendar. It can
save you a lot of time and energy and you won't miss out on any of the
auditions.

They Were Cast - Why Not You? 

Reality TV Calendar will send you the latest casting calls as soon as
they are released. Calls are often short notice with short deadlines.
You need to make contact immediately. You can't do that unless you
have immediate notification of the call. Now only $7.95. Click For

Reality TV Casting Email Notification - A Service Of Reality TV Calendar 
http://www.realitytvcalendar.com/subscribe.html

Reality TV Casting notices are often issued with very short notice.
The studio or production company wants you to fill out an application
and send in a tape or attend an open casting call. Rarely do they give
you much advance notice. They expect that if you are interested, you
are keeping in touch with what's going on. It's a hurry up process and
if you want to be considered you have to act immediately. But you
can't act quickly if you don't even know about the casting call.

Here's a simple and very inexpensive solution. 
Reality TV Calendar receives notifications of Reality TV Casting Calls
on a regular basis. We get them by email, by fax, and by phone.
Sometimes we get two or three in a day.....sometimes two or three in a
week. For a one time payment of $7.95 we will pass these notifications
on to you immediately via your email.

You may have seen similar offers advertised for twenty to thirty
dollars paid every month. We find that ridiculous. Our charge is a one
time payment of $7.95. It's a simple matter to get you the information
so we will make it an inexpensive but critical tool in your search to
get recognized and get on the show you want to be on.

Payment is via the most secure internet payment system in the world.
And you no longer have to be a member of Paypal to use Paypal. Just
click on the button below. Your Reality TV Casting notifications will
begin showing up in your email box almost immediately. And if we have
already sent out a notice on the show you are interested in, once you
have subscribed you can request back notices. We are here to help you.

Best regards and Good Luck to you!
