Casting Call: The CBS Reality Shows

BuzzSugar — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 06:38:14 -0800

So you think you could hold your own on a desert island? Keep your cool in a house full of strangers? Solve puzzles all over the world without alienating your boyfriend? Now's your chance to prove it.

CBS has put applications online for the next seasons of its three major reality shows, "Survivor", "Big Brother" and "The Amazing Race". All of the applications have to be submitted with a brief video that shows off why you could be a star. "Survivor" also has scheduled a number of open casting calls, some of them in rather odd locations. I mean, I know "Survivor" films in remote places, but Little Chute, Wisconsin?

The application instructions for "Survivor" notes that chosen contestants will be "adventurous" (gee, really?), "adaptable to new environments" and have "interesting lifestyles, backgrounds and personalities." "The Amazing Race" is looking only for people who enjoy living in close proximity to others.

Some of the disclaimers are fairly amusing: Hopefuls can't become candidates for office until after all the episodes have aired - so I guess that means Dennis Kucinich won't be applying. The "Big Brother" instructions tell applicants to include a full-length photo of themselves - and specify that they must be clothed.

A deadline for "Big Brother" hasn't been announced, but "Amazing Race" applications must be in by Jan. 16, and "Survivor" packets are due Jan. 30. So if you want to be the next prime-time reality star, you'd better get that video camera rolling.

Buzz Gift Guide: Mommy Dearest

BuzzSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:30:44 -0800

What to get the woman who raised you? She may not be as hard to shop for as grandma or dad, but I still have a few ideas. Mine is a Dancing With the Stars fanatic, so I'm snatching up their new workout DVD. Also on the list: Valerie Bertinelli's memoir and a cute Liz Lemon tote to take to the grocery store. I'm considering a TiVo, too - that way, she doesn't have to decide between The Amazing Race and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Sunday nights anymore. (Really, it's like Sophie's Choice.)

But if my suggestions don't strike your fancy, check out all of the gift guides across the Sugar network. You're sure to find something!
