Erik 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-11-02, 02:58 PM (EST) "Has anyone ever applied for TAR?" A friend and I are submitting our apps for TAR3. I wondering if anyone has applied before and could give us some tips or let us know some pitfalls to avoid. We wanted to get in TAR2 but were late on the app. Maybe I'm cocky, but I'm watching this and thinking that we could blow these teams away, but I guess they all think that. I think the first racers were better than these teams and the TAR2 teams had a model to follow. We want this pretty bad, I'm even flying to Miami to do our video and hopefully our interview as well. TIA, Erik   Top

If I wasn't a goddamn UNDERAGED CANADIAN!! I do plan on writing to Canadian networds CTV, CBC, and possibly the Life Network, in hopes of possibly getting a Canadian version of the race one day. Yeah, like that would ever happen...   Top

Hey, don't knock being an underaged Canadian ^-^ And our reality tv is developing, albeit slowly.... The Lofters - Soooo good, Better than BB (especially with the new voting process) - and the feeds are free 24/7 and uninhibited (Plus there's a Britney clone if the above doesn't interest you ;) Drifters: The Water Wars Quest for the Bay ---------------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again. Don't worry y'all, Gina and Bob will be back just in time for the final 3. Stop Discrimination Now   Top

I have yet to see the last two shows you mentioned, Kokoro. I do watch The Lofters on a semi-regular basis (Heather is one of my numerous pretend TV girlfriends). Pioneer Quest and Tall Ship Chronicals (Chronicles?) are both very good too.   Top

Erik 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-11-02, 07:01 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Has anyone ever applied for TAR?" I really have no idea, but I'll bet it's not as many as you would think. It's pretty involved process and the 30-40 day commitment isn't something alot of people could do. My guess is that alot of them get thrown out quickly for not being complete or the video being terrible.   Top

trigirl 2851 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 04-12-02, 09:18 AM (EST) 4. "RE: TAR Application" I was really surprised when the grannies said that they had actually applied for TAR1. Makes me think there were pretty slim pickings in the application department. Eric, I think the secret to get on the show is get a parent\child team. I mean an olderparent and adult child. That way you'd have the demographic they are searching for, plus the youth for staying power.   Top

Erik 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-12-02, 09:45 AM (EST) 5. "RE: TAR Application" Very good points trigirl. I didn't know that about the Grannies. I am 34 and my friend is 37 so we are definitely in the Rob & Brennan/Chex category which is probably the most competitive for getting on the show. Our title would be "Danny and Erik, Army Buddies". They haven't had a military connection yet. We are kind of a combo between R/B and the Kevin and Drew. We are very competitive, love to cut up and are constantly ripping on each other. So I hope those things will set us apart. I know there's no way my Mom or Dad would do this. Besides, when I saw the first episode of TAR1, I thought "Danny and I have got to do this!"   Top

managerr 1959 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 04-12-02, 11:42 AM (EST) 7. "RE: TAR Application" I think you'd have to go for a pairing demographic that hasn't been done yet. The most obvious being a Mother-Son or Father-Daughter. I'd probably try that if I were trying to get on the show, unfortunately I don't have enough confidence in mom that we'd actually win. On the other hand, if I were to pick friends of mine who I think I could win with, we'd be Rob and Brennan II... (except not as good looking so we wouldn't get picked) Hmm...what about an "Internet Message Board" board buddies who have never ever met in person until now but love to slam reality shows together?   Top

Ruthless 281 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 04-14-02, 11:26 PM (EST) 9. "RE: TAR Application" I'm in Australia, so I don't qualify, but I have no one who would go on it with me. My husband says he would love to do it, but not with me. Hey, what does that say for our 26 year marriage? We would be like Lenny and Karyn from TAR1. He's not a dweeb like Lenny, but he likes to take his time and think about things before he does them. I'm the type that jumps in first and thinks about it later. My mum and dad just aren't the adventurous type. Though if it was just around Australia, they might be in it. My sister and I would fight like cat and dog. My daughter and I would probably get on like a house on fire and do quite well. My sons aren't the adventurous type either, and would drag me back.   Top

Kokoro 3899 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 04-14-02, 11:39 PM (EST) 10. "RE: TAR Application" Oh my heck - I can so imagine my mother and I doing this - If we actually made it past the first episode (she dies with ~any~ physical challenge whatsoever), we'd quickly be on our way to the most hated team in TAR history ^-^ ---------------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again. Don't worry y'all, Gina and Bob will be back just in time for the final 3. Stop Discrimination Now   Top

Serendipity 525 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 04-15-02, 09:48 AM (EST) 11. "RE: Has anyone ever applied for TAR?" LAST EDITED ON 04-15-02 AT 09:50 AM (EST) Erik, I really, really wish you luck. It would be such fun to see somebody you "know", if only from a message board. Play up the Army buddies - that might work. I would love to do it and so would my daughter, but there's no way I can get that much time off from work and still feel secure about employment when I return. I'd have to win the top prize or I'd be in very deep doodoo. Good luck to all of you who try. Edited to correct typing error.   Top

Erik 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 04-17-02, 03:54 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Has anyone ever applied for TAR?" Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately Danny's Army duties will keep us out this time. We can only hope that there will be an AR4.   Top
