Speaking of Reality TV - What show would you go on

[wawa]

Have you ever considered going on reality TV? What show?

Did you actually apply?

[wawa]

I'm currently staring at the application to be on Chopped. They're recruiting amateur cooks.

But it's a long application, I might be kidding myself about whether I could really do that, andplusalso the judges usually make me stabby. But I can almost always come up with a plan for the ingredients, and there's never something where I just don't know what it is.

I also regularly troll the DIY and HGTV websites so we can get somebody else to redo our yard or kitchen. And I want MH to try out for Wipeout, but he just laughs at me.

The Amazing Race! I actually did apply and they didn't want me. Sad.

My mom wants to do the amazing race with my uncle (her brother's boyfriend). They'd be a hilarious pair. But she won't actually apply because she's a chicken.

One of my friends talked me into auditioning for The Biggest Loser, so we drove to TN to audition. It was a really weird process. I have always wanted to be on one of those makeover shows though. I don't care which one.
Edited for clarity. Because trying out for is not the same as being on.

DH and I have watched the Amazing Race together since it started and we always have a running commentary about "what we would do"...we toy with applying but then I think it really wouldn't be good for our marriage in the end :-)

I also really loved the realtor from Real Estate Intervention and wanted him to come sell my house...I didn't think he'd come that far north

I haven't watched this show in ages, but it used to reduce me to tears. The big red balls are some of the best entertainment in the history of humankind.

I have no interest in being on reality TV. I'm far too private a person.

LOL @ Lucy. Hey, totally OT< but that reminds me - what ever happened with the lego thing?

[pixy0stix]

I want to be on Yard Crashers on HGTV, but I'm in the wrong part of the country for that. Really, I'd like to be on any of the house fixer upper shows where they don't have to pay anything, but it's also not a slipshod job of hot gluing things to the wall.

NOTHING. They posted a backhanded apology in response to my FB post ("Sorry you feel this way").

assholes. I hate when companies I want to love do shitty things.

[meshaliuknits]

I want to be on the Amazing Race, but H and I are much too dull to make reality tv.

ETA: And that show where a guy finds you in Home Depot or OSH and offers to redo your bathroom. I look for him every time we're at a home improvement store. Sadly, I have not seen him.

[laurenpetro]

i'd love to do Cupcake wars.

[druidp]

My BFF and I sent a tape in for The Amazing Race when it first started. We'd undoubtedly kill at that one, flashing our boobs to anyone who could help us. (Yes, we actually included that in our potential strategy.)

And I loved-loved-loved The Apprentice when it first started, and would have enjoyed being on that one! Didn't apply though.

[heightsyankee]

I don't have a show I would like to be on necessarily but I know at least 3 people who I would love to nom for What Not To Wear!

[marie427]

Does Jeopardy! count?

[mmp]

Moving Up--I'd love to see what someone would change in my home.

Anything with Mike Holmes.

Survivor, to lose weight.

Dirty Jobs--even though I don' have one, I'd love to hang out with Mike Rowe for the comedy.

Swamp People--for the food.

I'd love to hang out with Mike Rowe to help wash him off after a long dirty day.

[heyjude]

Yard Crashers! And there is actually a chance because they're always in my city!

[2curlydogs]

What Not to Wear. $5K budget and a shopping trip to NYC? Plus getting to hang with Stacy and Clinton? Yes please! Except I'm not enough of a trainwreck to be on it.

Back in the infant days of Top Chef H kept telling me I should try out for it.

Yard Crashers but only if Ahmed Hassan is the host. New guy's a fugly dork who makes me want to punch things.

I think H and I would totally rock Amazing Race.

[mrshandy]

Survivor - but I'm terrified of most bugs so I don't think I would last too long

Amazing Race - I would like to do this with my sister, we've thought about applying, but with DS, I don't think that work too well nowadays

[moreace01]

Another vote for What Not to Wear - free clothes? I'm on board.
House Hunters International cause it would mean I had a vacation home. Or was living somewhere exotic.

One of the old WC regulars tried out for Next Food Network Star - I remember her posting or blogging about it. She was told she had no chance unless she had a publicist, had professional photos taken, basically a portfolio put together. Makes sense but at the time I remember being sort of surprised about it.

[jessiespano]

I've always wanted to be on Wipeout. I have no illusions that I'd ever pass the first round but it looked like fun. My husband actually "put his foot down" and stated I'd get myself killed. He's right but I still think it's be fun.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

I love Wipeout so much. It's embarassing how amused I am by the giant balls.

[redheadbaker]

I'm submitting an application for Chopped.

I decided to go ahead and do it too. I just need MH to take a decent picture of me when I get home tonight.

And I need to come up with bullshit answers to some of those stupid questions.

I would go on Big Brother. The first day, I would have a limp in my left leg. The next day, it would be on my right. I would wait and see if anyone noticed. In the meantime, I would do very peculiar Kung Fu exercises and mumble incoherently. My sole purpose would be to fuck things up lol
