Since reality TV was so new at this time, I think this was my best shot. My interview was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. although I wasn’t called in until around 4:10.After a few minutes the door on the other end of the room opened and a guy walked out with a very confused “what the heck just happened” look on his face. I opened it and was disappointed. Didn’t even know of anyone else who applied so I couldn’t compare my waiting game with theirs.Then one day, after a particularly not good weekend, I came home from work and saw a blinking light on my answer machine. there's no way to tell when your tape will get viewed but i'm pretty sure they call as they go--it seems like the best strategy. You need to be able to sustain several episodes of a show, which means your personality needs to be OUT OF THIS WORLD.You have to be you x 10. But, I feel very much tied and invested to the show, much like a parent is to their child.In the same TV Guide article, Tad Frank of casting from Having been on a few shows, truly it comes down to personality. I still had no idea what to expect. I sat there confused while they jotted some notes down.They opened the door for me and much like those before me, I too, left the room with the same “what just happened?” look on my face.I waited and hoped and prayed that I would hear back from them. Editing programs, to my knowledge, were only a thing of tv studios so we had to resort to hooking up the camcorder to an old school VCR. After a VCR is on hold for some allotted internal time, it shuts off. “So obviously if they say 5 minutes to 2 hours, then the longer you are there, the better, right?” I agreed.A week or so later I stopped by my parents house and after visiting with them stopped off at the neighbor’s house. Use your faith as a gateway. The video featured an exchange between me and the Australians. We talked about the religious angle and figured I should have played up the Mormon role a little more and been rather “hard-core” Mormon at that.It’s pretty apparent that reality shows want to create conflict and put together people of various personalities that might not meet under other conditions.
You can’t be that boring person with no back story. Survivor is coming back in 2020 with a special version of the show. Well, I’ve submitted a few video applications here and there but I’ve stopped putting so much work into them. ButSince then I’ve submitted many more video applications, and perhaps to my detriment.The 1st season was a hit and so I decided to apply to the second season. I was ecstatic!I told the co-worker who tipped me off. Who wouldn’t like the chance to “outwit, outplay, outlast” for one million U.S. dollars?I know I would, which is why I signed up for the show back before it was even a ‘thing’.That’s right, like many I’ve applied to be on Survivor many times. I think when they receive(d) my applications it’s ‘flagged’ and tossed.Now that I’m blacklisted, what do I do? Review. Had I known how big Survivor would have become I would have saved the blurb, but unfortunately I didn’t.From what I recall it was a very small snippet, like one of those small towns that “if you blink you’ll miss it”. They don’t care about the theatrics because tricks only work once and maybe for one episode. Why should people watch you? You don’t drink, don’t party, don’t smoke…what will make people tune in to watch you?You have to answer that question and then be able to show it in a casting tape. We scheduled a time to go by.We loaded all the video into his computer and then he cut/pasted the different segments and put them in the correct order.

I never did.The blonde very much played “good cop” while the brunette played the edgier “bad cop” trying to get me riled up. Watch Survivor: Winners at War Wednesday nights on CBS.
What once was new is now more commonplace.I think I missed my “Mormon” moment to get onto a reality TV show.
Some contestants are awesome, whereas others really suck. In front of me was a camera, behind it a cameraman, and to one side an attractive blonde and to the other an attractive brunette.The attractive blonde lady happened to be the lady in the break room. When I came back she was still there, and I thought nothing about it and went back to the waiting room.Everyone else who came out of the room had the same “what the heck just happened” look on their face. Called Winners at War, all 20 members of the Season 40 cast have already won the show before. Another from Southern Utah. It’s almost like you have to stereotype yourself to get a nod.Thanks for the feedback! Rendering a simple 3-minute video took around 30 minutes.
