PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

But we are not all Americans and, unfortunately we can't be selected.

I will have to confess that I have always wanted to apply, but with all the dings that come with age and being a Great Grandfather, I fear that I have missed my chance. But, I still wonder just what it would have been like to stand on the beach with all the rest when Jeff greats everyone.

8. "RE: Curious" |
I'MMMM BAAACK!!!!!!!!!!I promised I'd come back if they ever went back to the format with NO returning players/losers from previous episodes. It appears that will be the case this season, so I'll hang unless of course MB or Jiffy decides to pull a fast one on us and have a former loser pop out of some "jack-in-the-box" and into the this season. Anyway, to answer the question...my nieces and youngest sister were on hands-and-knees begging me to apply years ago. Problem is I have an IQ over 70 so I'd be walking up to the plate with two strikes already against me, but I said if they came up with a catchy video idea to submit I'd be game. When they handed me the application and it stated if I was so fortunate to make it to the final selection I'd have to spend two weeks in LA during this final process. Heck, that's almost my whole years vacation and still a longshot to even make the season's cast! But if I defied the odds and got casted, my third strike would be my age. Without ANY question the greatest divide in any reality show, i.e. Survivor has been and always will be--age. I won't disclose my age, but a few diehard posters here know I completed against Terry Deitz (Exile Island) in High School...so if you do the math you could probably figure it out within a couple yeras...lol On the positive side I've been told by all that I look 10-15 years younger than my age. But that means I'll have to lie about my age. Most know I'm a shoot-from-the-hip, tell-it-like-it-is type of guy, so lying does not come easy to me. If I did chances are I'd probably slip up and say something that would call out my lie and then I'm history. I'll say the reason why no one from this forum applies (or been selected) is because A) we all have at least half a brain, and B) we probably all have REAL jobs. Survivor/Reality Shows are geared toward acting/modeling wannabees or those in a profession where an extented leave of absence would be no problem.

Glad to see you back but I was thinking your silence was because you were the Tarzan that's on the cast!

11. "I DID!!" |
I sent in my first tape in early October. I shot it in the spring in my cold woods. It was too large to submit so my friend, who works in video, resized it for me. I uploaded it, they received it and I did not get a callback. I am concerned with my age, 55. I have never played sports. However, to play the game I have spent the last 12 years obsessing over would be my dream. I have written summaries, SOTS, played many games, hosted a few games and gone to several Survivor Events. The only thing left to do is play the real game. I do have an IQ over 70 and know what I am getting into. I have met a couple of casting agents at some Survivor events. They told me if I fit the story line, they would call. I would definitely talk about our site and how great it is. I have thought about what issues I would like to promote if I became a Survivor. I doubt they will ever call, but I am a Survivor Applicant.

But you realize that some of the dumbest players were actually rocket scientists and doctors?

Agreed...which is why I said most; not 100%.

Not sure I would even mention it at the Reunion Show. Then you might blow your opportunity for a second...or a third...or do I dare say in absurd fashion even a FOURTH chance to try to win!

18. "i did too" |
I made a tape for Season 3 (complete with butt shot) and cattle-call auditioned for Marquesas in SmelL.A.. I can see the problems with both and have decided that, even though I would kick some major arse on the show, the camera, itself, is my biggest obstacle. I don't know why but I tend to back up slowly and out of the frame when a camera appears. I'd be an even more invisible winner than Vee.

I wanted to apply when I was younger, but couldn't because my wife worked for a CBS affiliate. She left that job a couple years ago, but then I was in the middle of my Master's Degree program and wouldn't have stopped that if I did happen to get cast. And now I just think I'm too old and out of shape to win it.
