"HUGE NEWS: New reality show exclusively at SB.COM.......casting applications being taken now!"

Posted by shakes the clown on 05-10-01 at 07:58 PM
....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.


Background questions

1. Age

2. Marital Status

3. Kids?

4. Employment?

5. Educational background?

5.5 Military background?

6. Intersting employment background?

7. Gender?

8. Social Security Number and major credit card # (just kidding

Survivor questions

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

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

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

12. Cite an example where you have been ruthless?

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

fun facts

14. Describe your most embarrasing moment?

15. Ever experienced that not so fresh feeling? (just kidding)

16. Favorite Food?

17. Poster on the board you would most like to have visit you if you won a "visit from family member" Reward Challenge (posters already in game will not be eligible, but answer will be updated accordingly if need be)?

18. Favorite Movie? (may list more than one)

19. Favorite book? (may list more than one)

20. Would you sleep with Shakes the clown for a guaranteed spot in the final 2?

21. List five items you would like to bring as a luxury item? (if selected, I will choose one of the items from the list)(No survival items!)


The show will be shot at the same place as all the rest of the Survivor shows, a sound stage in Los Angeles...right Survivor Dawg?

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.


P.S. I'll be posting this thread on every board (sorry GT) cause I don't want anyone to miss out and I really don't know where this goes yet.

It would help if you would narrow it down to "most embarrasing moment not involving alcohol".

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.

LAST EDITED ON 05-11-01 AT 01:32 PM (EST)

Edited to remove a dumbass question I had and just fill out the app instead:

Background questions

1. Age
34, but would turn 35 during the "run" of the show.

2. Marital Status
Married.

3. Kids?
Two boys, 2 1/2 yrs. and 2 1/2 wks.

4. Employment?
According to my business cards, I'm a Senior Web Engineer, whatever that means.

5. Educational background?
B.S. in Interdepartmental Studies in Speech from Northwestern University (translation: I was a Theatre major who took too many classes outside the Theatre department). Don't ask me how a classically trained actor became a Senior Web Engineer, but it should translate well to being a Shameless Media Whore.

5.5 Military background?
My fraternity pledge son was a Naval ROTC. That count?

6. Intersting employment background?
Was in a touring improv show created by the guy who later created "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
Did fund-raising for United Way.
Was officially a Digital Sherpa (hence the handle).

7. Gender?
Male.

8. Social Security Number and major credit card # (just kidding
588-2300-EMPIRE (inside Chicago joke to curry favor with the judge).

Survivor questions

9. List the contestant(s) from SurvivorII that you admire the most?
The kangaroo on the left looked like it had the upper hand in its boxing match with the 'roo on the right.

10. Now the one(s) you admire the least?
Duh, the 'roo on the right.

11. If you were to make the show, what would your strategy be?
I would do my damnedest to write eminently quotable posts right before Shakes writes each summary to make him want to keep me around. Also known as the Andy Van Slyke strategy (inside baseball joke to earn brownie points from the judge). Also, I'd walk around in my birthday suit on my birthday. Hey, it worked for Dicky.

12. Cite an example where you have been ruthless?
I once convinced a kid I didn't like that a friend of mine had died when he was out with pneumonia. On the day my friend came back to school, we let everyone know what was going on. My buddy wore a white suit and everyone pretended they couldn't see him while he kept saying things like, "Jim, you're next. I've come back for you, Jim." Even the teachers were aware of it and played along. We let poor Jim get pretty worked up before dropping it.

13. What special skill(s) would you bring to your tribe?
Well, it's an internet survival contest. I'd say a Digital Sherpa should be pretty well qualified for that.

fun facts

14. Describe your most embarrasing moment?
Tie: 1) Having a snotball fly out of my nose onto my girlfriend's face while I was kissing her, or 2) squeezing my (different, later) girlfriend so hard while we were having sex that she unleashed a gargantuan fart.

15. Ever experienced that not so fresh feeling? (just kidding)
Ummm... see #14.

16. Favorite Food?
Gyros.

17. Poster on the board you would most like to have visit you if you won a "visit from family member" Reward Challenge (posters already in game will not be eligible, but answer will be updated accordingly if need be)?
By the time this challenge rolls around, I figure I'll be REALLY hungry, so I'd pick someone nobody would miss and pull a Hannibal Lecter on him. skierdude10 would be a likely candidate.

18. Favorite Movie? (may list more than one)
"Delicatessen"

19. Favorite book? (may list more than one)
The Brothers K by David James Duncan

20. Would you sleep with Shakes the clown for a guaranteed spot in the final 2?
Only if he straps on Colby's “Outback Porta-Pussy.” (See http://community.survivorblows.com/boards/DCForumID2/1467.shtml)

21. List five items you would like to bring as a luxury item? (if selected, I will choose one of the items from the list)(No survival items!)
Colby's “Outback Porta-Pussy”
SAFECO Field
Diaper Genie (parents of young'uns know what this is; it could easily be adapted to handle the tribe's sewage problems)
A web-cam (so I could transmit back to the board spoilers that Shakes wouldn't want everyone to see)
Howard Stern, bound and gagged (so I could kick the crap out of him whenever someone was pissing me off)

Can I have my lovely parting gifts now?

Thanks, kindly. I think that was the first week I voted for Tina to be booted, since I had absolutely no time to read the spoilers that week.

Btw, if ever I get to be a "Survivor" contestant, the first thing I'll do is get tattoos of both boys, so I can have pix of them with me without using up a luxury item to get 'em.

Is that the REAL Whose Line? or the Drew Carey rip-off? (I love that show! some of the most brilliant teevee ever!)(Sorry, Drew, but you don't know sh¡t about improv, and you're no Clive Anderson!)

Both, actually. Dan Patterson was the director of the show I was in, called "Oedipuss 'N' Boots." Shortly after, he was hired by BBC Radio. When he moved into BBC TV, the first show he created was "Whose Line." When Drew brought the show over here, he brought Dan with it as the Executive Producer.

Find out as quickly as possible what this clown’s game is all about. If it’s anything like the real Survivor, I will avoid offensive behavior like singing Fiona Apple songs, comparing myself to Miss America, assigning names to other player’s dinner, breaking into obscene snoring after getting off with Mom, and talking about my own bodily odors.

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

When I was four years old my old lady made me hit the hay before I was ready. After tucking me in and giving me a kiss goodnight, she turned to the door. I shouted for her to stop, and in a deadly serious low tone said, “Mom. Some day I’m going to cut your head off.” (This day has not yet come).

>13. What special skill(s) would

A photographic memory for numbers, perfect arches in my feet, athletic prowess, exceptional investigative skills (like picking Amber to win it all in the PTTE), strong physically conditioning, an irrational fear of flags, and ancient Chinese ass cleaning secrets.

Can't answer for Cass on her tennis ball fetish, but I chose a volleyball (first on the list mind you) because the final survivor will need a friend. I fully expect Shakes (reality my ass) to off the cool folks early. To last the long, hot summer, I will need a friend to hit around/sleep with. I want Shakes to name it though.

>>12. Cite an example where

Being a mom of two small boys, you'll appreciate my method of handling them. When they ask for me, I tell them, "Just a moment." Then I hand the phone to my two-year-old (who LOVES to jabber away on the phone).

Posted by samiam on 05-17-01 at 03:58 PM
I have done a version of this. Once I got a call during one of my two-year-old's world-famous temper tantrums. I said to this poor person, "Hey, you know what? I'll sell YOU something." And I hold up the phone to my screaming, floor-pounding child for a moment. Then I add, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer that you really can't refuse. Can I just verify YOUR address so I can send him to you C.O.D.?" Funny how quickly they hang up.

LMAO! A kindred spirit! Me: Bachelor's in Political Science, minors in theatre and psychology. (Both discarded majors, btw). And with two more upper-division classes, I could have had a third minor in literature. Responses to job search after college: "You're under-qualified." ~or~ "You're over-qualified."

Ah, yes! So then you either A) spend another two years in school getting trained to do something you don't like but can get a job doing or B) accept a job for which you are horribly overqualified and will be criminally underpaid. BTDT!
