... what do y'all think would be a good pitch/idea for a video application?
If you're wondering, my friend has been bugging me to apply and, after asking several co-workers who think it'd be a great idea, I think I'm going to do it. I think it'd be a blast! (Even though I'd probably get voted off the first week for not being able to keep my mouth shut when asked my honest opinion on something... LOL) [:D] |
|
Only if you can wear an AR15.com T-shirt the entire time [:D]
|
|
Well, I was thinking of a "Day in the Life" type video and video of me shooting something big and nasty and unmistakeably full-auto was tops on my list of clips to add. [:D]
|
|
Just do anything for your video. They are looking for certain people. You might fit the character and you might not. It is all just chance.
Then again, you can video your application at the BRC. [:P] |

Do me a favour if you get on....
KILL SOMETHING!!! The current show is driving me nuts! Pigs and chickens running all over the place. Small sharks in the shallows... And these lazy asses sit around and starve!!! Their idea of hunting is to go out and pick large snails off the rocks at low tide.... I MEAN REALLY!!! Make a spear and KILL SOMETHING TO EAT!! |
|
Quoted: Do me a favour if you get on.... KILL SOMETHING!!! View Quote Well, that's kind of the idea... why my friends think I'd be good on there. One, I'm outgoing and a total goofball. Two, I've done a lot of things in my life that are non-traditional for women. Three, I'm one of the first people to say that, while I don't gain pleasure in killing something, it is important to me to KNOW where my food is coming from. It is showing respect to that animal that is giving up it's life so that I can live. There is no shame or sadism in that... and I wish someone would articulate that on the show. It IS irksome to think that there are people sitting at home eating KFC and getting up in arms about someone on t.v. killing and eating a chicken. [rolleyes] EDITED because I hate when my eyes don't roll.. you don't get the full effect. [:D] |

as Homer Simpson would say: "mmmmm, spicey barbeque wings..."

Seems like some of the slots on the show are allocated to certain character types, with some being allocated primarily on a P.C. basis.
I suggest that you draw up a list of the characters in the past shows, listing their various attributes. Find out what niche the producers usually select for, one that most nearly matches your own. Refine that, and go for it. You're attractive, a plus. Now you must convince the producers that the audience will be interested in you, and want to watch. Good luck! |
|
I'm flattered... I guess... but I don't think the world is too eager to see my butt in a thong. ROTFLMAO
I've never really watched the series... what do you think is the biggest challenge that you've seen? Physically? |
|
The toughest physical challenge would be, sleeping with a group of people that have bathed in a few week. [:D]

Character archetypes for Survivor:
-The Gay guy -The doctor/lawyer/successful businessman -The adorable cute sweetheart college-age girl -The conniving bitch -The lazy black guy -The black woman -The young studly guy -The old guy -The feeble old woman who's voted off first These are the recurring characters that appear in every Survivor season. |

Sara, have you completely lost your mind?? Most of those folks are sneaky, sneaky, back-stabbing ego maniacs. You're not in their class.

Raven,
I don't fit any of those archetypes... maybe they'll have to make a new mold! LOL And I'm not nuts for trying this, Don. That's what people said when I spontaneously entered a Meow Mix competition and I ended up winning a trip to Florida, $1000, various other prizes AND.... ::drum roll::.... I got to meet Wayne Newton! Life is just a series of experiences... it's really a matter of picking the ones you want. [:D] |

|
Quoted: A Meow Mix competition? Should I even ask? View Quote There's actually a website... I think it's still up. That was a couple years ago, when my hair was close cropped and platinum blonde... HEY! I had a wild hair, okay? [:D] |
|
you go girl.......
I would even watch that show if you were on it. good luck. |
|
Miss Magnum, just so you know you must already have a passport before you apply or they will not even look at you. I know becuase I was gonna apply for surviver 2 but I didn't want to shelling out $60 just for a 1 in a million shot.

MM, if you go and it is to someplace exotic and warm I would be happy to construct an official AR15.com string bikini constructed entirely of dental floss.[smoke]

|
Do it!!!!!!!!! Hope you get on. That would be soooo kewl.
Remember, keep a lowwwwww profile if you make it on the show. |
|
I suppose you could fool them and get on using the conniving, man-hating lesbian bitch archetype, but once on, the first thing you have to do is kill something. That would seal the deal.
And I would add, it would be perfectly acceptable for you to own firearms in that case. As long as you are a man-hating lesbian, that is. |

I saw the first survivor show. Hated it. It had very little to do with surviving in the wilderness and everything to do with being social asswipes who would betray a bud at the drop of a hat.
People with integrity and honor have no place there. I've never watch it again. |

Miss Magnum, if the show were TRULY about survival, I think you would do well. Unfortunately it is much like wrestling - a show, all contrived and PC. No doubt the selection process is all PC and a gun owner would be culled at once as a major threat to polite society!
That being said, you have the guts and the looks so GO FOR IT!! Funny, I don't remember your butt but can still see that smile!! Are you coming to Bulletfest again this year? Sure hope so! |
|
I'm in for one trauma plate if MM will model it for us when were done![shock]

Quoted: Meow Mix Competition. I'm not sure what to make of that. View Quote I believe that was a VIVID VIDEO release [;)] I will support you whatever in you wish to do... but like Donny.. Donald.. er, Don said - I think you're too good for em [:D] Eric/Tyler |

Here is what I dont get. Everyone is allowed to bring ONE luxury item from home. Bring a firearm for pete's sake... HUNT!!!!
OK They dont like guns?? what about an archery set? I would like to see the next survivor show have someone bring a PSE or Matthews compound bow, shoot a pig or chicken and watch 3/4 of PETA have a massive coronary. yeah... I like that. One of my customers by the way is a childhood friend of Lex (Africa Survivor) and he was telling me that Lex was sick for weeks after the show ended. Got some kind of bacterial mess in his gut. |

Make the video at the BRC! Get footage of you coming through a smoke screen wearing Mall Ninja heavy assault gear, and shooting tracers at some of those sploding target things. Also include MRE dining and tips on how to apply camoflauge make-up.

OK, MM
I don't know you, but you strike me as a pretty classy woman. The little 'reality TV' that I've watched turned me way off. It was as scripted as a WWF match, like DonR or someone said. There was only one who struck me as genuine -- Rudy, the SEAL guy. Stop listening to your friend and start listening to yourself. If this is really what you want to do, start really researching it. Somehow, you strike me as too real for 'reality TV' |
|
If I'm too "real" for reality t.v. then either I won't get picked or it might be a refreshing change.... And my friends already decided I WOULD be most like Rudy of all the people they've seen. LOL
I really just think it would be fun. A challenge. I like challenges. [:D] |
|
You'll have to be like Richard from the first series and run around naked. I'm sure someone else posted this same comment before me. [:D]

[:D] View Quote Well, hell, go for it then. We'll all still respect you afterwards....[:D] Anyways, you just might set them on their butts! Meanwhile, we'll be laughing with you. At them! They need someone different from the rut they got into. I tuned this stuff out, but if you get on, they will have some more viewers. |

... I still say you're a shoe in. Do it.

If I was a player, I'd bring a bottle of Visine filled with liquid LSD and dose enemies in my tribe before physical challenges so they'd be all confused and lose the contests. |

Guns, Explosions, Fire all while wearing an ity bity Red White & Blue Bikini.

survivor is such a gay show. It isn't so much about wilderness survival as political survival.
|
|
Survivor = Conniver (show does'n't usually show morals and ethics treated so well, but so is life)
Having said that, go for it. It'll be fun, and there is some money in there. Pass yourself off as a Kathy type and perhaps, there would be a slot for you in the cast. Good luck M4-AK |
