....well, I've figured out my summer project (besides being a full fledged media whore that is). It is with great pleasure that I bring you the inaugural SB.Com Celebrity Member Survivor!!

That's right, 16 of you will be chosen by yours truly to participate in the first ever SB.Com Survivor. This is NOT a fantasy game...this is for real.

Every week I will submit a detailed summary of the week's episode much in the same way I did for the regular, boring, no personality Survivor. Only this show is all about you guys!

There will be drama, there will be alliances, there will be backstabbing, starvation, sex, chocolate, crying and in the end, victory for the sole survivor!

Now, to answer the question you've all been waiting for....How do I get on this fabulous show? Easy, all you have to do is fill out a simple application. The applaication will ask some very personal questions, but your responses MUST be made public as you learn the first lesson in being a media whore...your life is not your life anymore, its ours!

Now, keep something else in mind, even if you don't apply for the show, you still might be selected anyway as I have determined that anybody who has ever posted on this forum is immediately eligible. I'm looking for 16 dynamic, unique and hopefully conflicting personalities and I won't take no for an answer.

Because of the secrecy of the project, the location and the cast will not be revealed until the first summary...however, I do not have airtight security on the set and I expect possible spoilers to emerge and be posted on the board.

I know you people love my summaries (I hope) but, now here's your chance to be a part of them!

Without further ado, the application: Please respond with quotes so I can keep track of your answers accordingly.

And remember one thing, even if you don't apply you still might find yourself selected and then it will be at the author's descretion to fabricate your background as he sees fit...so I suggests you fill out the applications or else run the risk of being subjected to tabloid-style journalism.

Where do I
>send my application?

...if you want to be a media-whore, you have to learn the first lesson....NO PRIVACY...so post your apps in this thread.

Besides, this will give everyone a chance to see the inner workings of the whole casting process...I might even post the fina cast interviews when I get around to them.

I'll also post a lot more info about the way this is gonna work tomorrow night, but basically your involvement ENDS when you fill out your app....the rest is up to me..you just have to sit back and wait for the summaries to see if you made the show, and then to see how you are edited.

One thing I will tell you, the final two will be live in a chat room on SB (written summary to follow of course) and the jury will be required to vote for the winner...so I don't decide the final winner.
\\

You're a sick, demented, ruthless, sanctamoneous blankity blanked so and so!!! Someone should have taken you out back to the pie making factory and filled you with whipped cream long ago. The doors to your little car should have been welded shut and the elephant allowed to toss it around like a hacky sack!
You knew you could do just this kind of thing and we'd all fall for it like a bunch of Kucha's at a luau. Well, you're not going to get away with it. Nope, I'm gonna tell you that right now...I will not sleep with you to make it into the cast!
*sigh*

Just asking, that's all.

I think what made me think of what I'm thinking is that I was thinking like I think others might think. What do you think?

Just thinking, that's all!

And an oldie but goodie for you, dear Viking...

Dangerkitty

I guess I will just say you can consider it a "double entendre" (sp)?
DK- I think I walked around the party for a bit, lots of the guys were asking me to get beer out of the cooler for them, which obviously meant I had to bend over. I have no idea how long it was, but my roomie finally came up and told me. I thought it was hysterical, but then again, my butt looked much better in those days!

Rodger as a person. Tina as a public manipulator - she played just like Rich, except she lied and betrayed, yet she's convinced everyone she didn't play like Rich and was loyal. Colby for his all-round skills, until that bonehead play at the end.

>10. Now the one(s) you
>admire the least?

Jerri - in various post-show appearances, she proved that her image was indeed accurate, not just editing. Lis - getting by on lots of looks and childishness and no brains.

>11. If you were to

>your strategy be?

Decide if I have a chance. If not, get kicked out quickly and enjoy six weeks all expenses paid in a luxury resort. If I do have a chance, lay low, play dumb and don't be a threat. Be a follower, not a leader and stay on the strongest bandwagon. Then pull a fast one at the end. Of course, with the strategy exposed to the competitors, what good is it now?

>12. Cite an example where
>you have been ruthless?

Never in real life. Always in games, within the rules.

>13. What special skill(s) would
>you bring to your tribe?

World travel has made me highly adaptable and accepting of local conditions. Although I've lived in the same city all my life, I'm almost instantly at home anywhere and everywhere. Even after months of travel, I've never felt homesick.

Too embarrased to tell you.

>15. Ever experienced that not

Yeah, back around age 3 or 4. Actually kinda nice at first.

>16. Favorite Food?

Crab; any shellfish; almost anything I've cooked myself.

Don't know. I read messages for content and pay no attention to who posted them.

>18. Favorite Movie?

Easy: Animal House.

>19. Favorite book?

I can read almost anything and enjoy it.

My wife would not approve. Neither would I. Shakes would definitely not approve.

>21. List five items you

Any books;
crossword puzzles;
my subscriptions to National Geographic, Discover, Fortune; playing cards;
if you show me where the electrical plugs are, a CD player with my Beethoven and Led Zeppelin CDs.

Alright! I'll take a crack at it..Can't wait to see what Shakes puts together.

If ya don't mind, I'll slur my answers together:

37 year old, pre-mid-life crisis married male with two screaming wee ones working as a social worker fortunately during the daytime with court ordered adolescent males. Yea, went to school and got a BS (and lots of it), managed to do it without entering the military..Prior to that, the most interesting thing I'd done was pick bag worms off little pine trees as a thirteen-year-old (mom thought it'd keep me and my twin out of trouble at the swimming pool).
Rodger's the Man! Anyone who'd jump off a cliff without swimming lessons has guts! Colby's hat really started to irritate me after a while, so I guess I admire him the least. I know it's lame. If I were on the show, my strategy would be to make a quick risky character assessment of my team mates, ally with the most trustworthy, strong, and intelligent one. Then, make an appeal with him or her to ally with another duo against the rest to become the final four.
Ruthless? All I can say is during the Survivor season, NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE REMOTE BUT ME...UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES and WITH NO EXCEPTIONS!
Special Skills: 1)Well let's see, this will be on a sound stage, huh? I can do some pretty good impressions...say like..how about 100 screaming Colby fans to greet him...or a herd of elephants about to trample the contestants (same exact impression).
2)I don't eat worms, but can certainly down some tequila
Most embarassing moment: taking tickets for a local folk festival, asked the nice woman to please show me her ticket...who responded..."oh, I'm singing tonight" (It was Joni Mitchell.)
Nothing beats Ben and Jerry's, Something About Mary, and the Lord of the Flies.
Visit from one of the posters?-would have to be the one and only Survivor Blows.
To sleep or not to sleep with the clown: Only if he slept with his jammies on and his red rubber noseand big squeaky shoes off! But, seriously, hell no!!!

Wow! 5! items: Shovel, axe, journal/pen and a family picture in glass. The picture would be priority.

He had both arms wrapped around me dragging me backwards....wELL, as he was doing that, my dress was steadily going up higher and higher, until over 1000 people got a girlie show. I realized it, and went limp so that he would drop me. They had to work out a whole extra skit to get me off stage.

Runner up -- once in college, I had walked the entire length of campus after having thrown everything in my backpack quickly -- it was one of those 8 AM early morning last minute in the dark things. Suddenly, one of my guy-friends comes up behind me and says "nice bra you're not wearing." I stopped and looked....I had a blue bra hanging out of my back pack. I thought it was pretty damn funny though.

Shakes, for someone that posts as rarely as I do, this is very scary. I wouldn't be good for your version of Survivor, I'm very dull and about useful as Nick in camp.

I mainly lurked, due to the fact that I had time to read but not to post... but here goes anyway...

> Background questions
>
>1. Age

31

>2. Marital Status

Ball and chain-less

>3. Kids?

None, thank goodness.

>4. Employment?

Director of Marketing Operations for a floral company

>5. Educational background?

College, yeah.

>5.5 Military background?

Nah.

>6. Intersting employment background?

I spent a summer long ago trying to talk people over the phone into letting a salesperson come into their house to sell them 6 months of frozen meat and a giant freezer. I was good at it too. If I can manipulate total strangers into trusting me that way, I think I could manage to do even better in person.

>7. Gender?

All chick.

> Survivor questions
>
>9. List the contestant(s) from
>SurvivorII that you admire the
>most?

Colby for managing to keep his teeth so white the whole time, and Elizabeth since she was the only one I never wanted to whack in the head.

>10. Now the one(s) you
>admire the least?

Mitchell, because he whined too damn much and adored Jerri and Kimmi because she just didn't get it.

>11. If you were to
>make the show, what would
>your strategy be?

I'd form an alliance early on with the other likeable and least untrustworthly folks...fly below the radar...etc.

>12. Cite an example where
>you have been ruthless?

I'm ruthless every single day. Just ask my boss. I think it's the main reason he keeps me around.

>13. What special skill(s) would
>you bring to your tribe?

I've never made a bad batch of rice in my life, and I tell highly entertaining campfire stories. (Or so I've been told.)

> fun facts

>14. Describe your most embarrasing
>moment?

At a chinese food buffet in a crowded restaurant, I somehow tripped and landed with a tremendous thud, thus causing the entire restaurant to go dead silent. Everyone then turned around to stare at me while I lay on the floor with my plate extended in front of me. I am proud to say, however, I didn't spill even a grain of rice during the incident.

>16. Favorite Food?

Chicken Marsala...but only if I make it.

Well..shakes. Do you count?

>18. Favorite Movie? (may list

Harold and Maude

>19. Favorite book? (may list more

I can't ponder this one any more, so I'm going to just pick my favorite of this month which is White Oleandar. Very powerful.
