Confessions of a 'Reality' Kind

[heathercameron]

All right, with a new season of reality shows fast approaching us, I HAVE to ask this of anyone who has or will play iSurv1vor:

Have you ever auditioned for ANY reality show by yourself or with someone else and what was the outcome?
I want details and such because there are so many who try and so few who make it to the actual shows...Ready, Set, GO!
Also, do you have a copy of the audition video?

I'll start with mine and my mother's story of our audition for The Amazing Race Canada Season 2.

In December 2013, (On Christmas Day to be exact) my mother, Martha Campbell Cameron, and I auditioned for The Amazing Race Canada Season 2 and we never heard anything on our audition information despite the fact that the teams that were not picked reportedly got rejection letters and we never heard ANYTHING whether it be good or bad news. Anyway, since we never heard anything, I thought it would be the right time to post the audition video we submitted PLUS a video that combines that creatively combined the first video we did and decided not to use because we didn't identify ourselves properly. Anyway, enjoy the videos and God-willing, this will not be the last time we try for the Race.
This is the video we submitted:

and
This is the creatively combined video:

I also sent in an application for Survivor 19 and I also made an audition video for Survivor 21. Frosti Zernow of Survivor China inspired me to kick it into high gear and apply for Season 19 and Season 21 was pure passion. Anyway, the Season 21 video is here:

and a funny Survivor audition video I made at random is here:

I also made an audition video for Big Brother Canada, but my computer crashed before I could upload it to the application:

Anyway, does anyone else have confessions of a 'reality' kind they would like to share?

I wanted to apply for season one of Big Brother Canada, but I decided I'd rather see how the show goes first. Then I was going to apply for the second, but figured it would be wiser to not postpone a whole semester of school on the off chance I may be selected. But yeah. Gonna apply for future seasons, I guess, though I'll probably never be selected.

If I was an American season I would have applied, though I would probably be more willing to go to a casting call than make a video. In a casting call you get to present the best version of yourself straight up, while a video I feel is more about whether or not they like the first few seconds since they have so many to review.

I am a marketing major, which means I am REALLY good at selling things, and presentation. I think a casting call is all about marketing yourself to look like the best version of yourself that you can possibly be. I just found out that with my degree I can be an image consultant, which is basically doing that: marketing a person so that they get a job, or get something they want.

Soooo I feel like with those skills I would be able to make sure I can rock the open casting call, but I guess we won't be able to know how correct I am until I get my citizenship and apply.

Oh, and me and my brother considered applying for the Latin American version of TAR as well, but they have never traveled outside of America in all the seasons, which doesn't seem as exciting so we ended not doing it.

[joepurcell]

See, I feel the opposite. I think I could best exhibit myself in a video application than in person, because I am shy and reserved for the first little bit with people, but I REALLY open up after a little bit, and I feel like I'd freeze up at a casting call.

Applied for survivor and big brother, got no feedback from producers.

In 2007 i Applied to the shows real world/road rules, got a phone call back and went for an interview for road rules viewers revenge. Unfortunately I wasn't casted.

Auditioned for both American Idol and The Voice for the producers. Got called back on The Voice but nothing better

I've been to 2 Survivor casting calls. Alex, it's really not what you think, producers from the show aren't there, it's basically the same as if you just did a home video since it's a minute or two in front of a green screen type thing with the local CBS affiliate taping you and the tapes get sent to LA. It's still fun though because you get to meet other fans and other people who are trying to get on just like you so it was a cool experience.

[Brandon]

I've sent in two videos to Survivor. I've also auditioned for American Idol in front of Producers. It poured the whole day but it was fun..?

[Jared]

I've auditoned for Canadian Idol Season 4, made it past the first round of audtions.. and that's splitlity squat.
