I didn't audition but kept running across Real World when they were in New Orleans at the beginning of the show. They worked mostly in the neighborhood and I worked at a university where the students were working on the show, so they were in all the most popular haunts for a while there. They kept asking me and my friend to be in shots and we declined and left because once the lights etc started it was no longer a bar, it was a set.
As someone of a certain age, the Real World was THE show to audition for. Sadly, ya boy Troy knew he would be protrayed as some GenX slacker that just couch surfs and hides his undies in his roommates laundry.
Never thought about it, but given the opportunity and the $$$, I'd consider boring the crap out of weekly viewers for a living. I wonder if my cat is interesting enough to make the needed ratings.
Yes. I auditioned for Big Brother in the UK on around series 3. A young couple started having full sex in the very, very cold and long queue. When we did get into meet the production staff they put us into groups of eight. They asked us loads of questions and one young wannabe was very annoying When they asked us who we all thought was the biggest twat(their words) we all pointed to the young loudmouth. We were all sent home bar him. Told me everything I needed to know about reality TV.
No, but a friend was asked to be Denise Richard's "horrible loser blind date from hell" on her show years ago. He didn't want to because he thought maybe local women would believe it and not "date" him. Anyways, that was the first time I realized those shoes are 100% fake. I don't watch reality TV so this was news to me!
I was single, mid-thirties & desperately lonely. My Tinder date had been on an episode of First Dates & it sounded like a cool/weird/funny story to tell on future dates instead of having to invest time in a hobby.
I haven't but I wanted to be on the Real World bad in my 20's lol
ReplyDeleteNo but there are regular auditions on the gambling boat based here for Survivor and Big Brother.
ReplyDeleteWhy on Earth would I?
ReplyDeleteNope. And I'm not sure what type of reality show I would want to be on anyway. If you got any novel offers send them my way.
ReplyDeleteNo but the comedians on Foursome: Walk of Shame were hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOnce for MTV VJ hunt, if that counts!
ReplyDeleteNope. I can't imagine wanting to.
ReplyDeleteNot yet? I audition for America's Got Talent Dec 15th in Dallas.
ReplyDeleteBest Of Luck.
DeletePost a video link.
Do game shows count?
ReplyDeleteI auditioned, and got on, Wheel of Fortune in 1986. When you still shopped for prizes. I won $3,500.00 worth of stuff, and some lovely parting gifts!

ReplyDeleteI did a snow angel in a bikini for my Survivor audition video. Thankfully I was rejected.

ReplyDeleteDoes Bowling for Dollars count?

ReplyDeleteI auditioned for the Real world in my 20's.....didnt make it
ReplyDeleteNo, I did work at a few places that seemed like reality shows.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this Real World everyone is talking about?
ReplyDeleteIam too tired to Google.
Thanks in advance....
@Indie, The place outside of the matrix.
ReplyDeleteNo. The only reality show I'd even contemplate would be that roadshow. Where they race from place to place. I've never seen it but it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteEvery day, every day...
ReplyDeleteI'd rather eat my own feet
ReplyDeleteThat seems extreme! You could just say "no"
DeleteXD
I'm with Vic
ReplyDeleteNo. Only one I'd consider would be the Joe Schmoe Show.
ReplyDeleteYes.

First Dates & Married At First Sight.
ReplyDeleteI was single, mid-thirties & desperately lonely. My Tinder date had been on an episode of First Dates & it sounded like a cool/weird/funny story to tell on future dates instead of having to invest time in a hobby.
Didn't get called up for either. Poo.
Yep, and made it on an episode of “Studs” back in the 90’s. Good times...good times.
ReplyDeleteWent to an open call for season 2 of The Apprentice. Shudder
ReplyDeleteI made a pilot for this show called Mission: Romance that never made it to television.. it was really fun and I was part of the winning couple :D
ReplyDeleteYes, married at first sight in DC - had 3 rounds of interviews, didn't make it
