NBC is going to have a show called Treasure Hunters ...it sounds very much like TAR. It involves maps, puzzles, five weeks of travel around the world, and a prize of $500,000. The Boston auditions are this Saturday, April 30th. They are looking for "unique three-person teams." I have found one person who is delighted to go, but we have not been able to find a third person. Are any of you in the Boston area and game to go to the auditions? It's a long long long shot, but just to go would be fun.

Thought I'd add this here... there's going to be a casting call in Orlando, FL on July 4th. Details can be found here: http://www.local6.com/entertainment/4656692/detail.html Damn but I'm tempted! I don't think I can convince my friend to do with me, though.

My daughter lives in Orlando and I bet if she didn't have a baby she'd do it, but there's no way she'd leave that baby.

They'll be in El Paso, TX on Friday. I'm way too out of shape to apply, though.

Help! This might not be the thread to do this in but I'm not sure where else to post it... My friend and I didn't go to the casting call because it was just the local station taping your 2 minute video and sending out the all applications to CBS in bulk. Easier than doing it yourself but doesn't lead to a very distinctive tape (another friend's husband and sister went and said everyone pretty much was saying how much they loved the show and how they'd be great for it because they knew all the tricks, etc.). We decided we'd be better off coming up with a more inventive video and taping it ourselves than standing in a line for hours on end and with no ideas on anything to say. So, we're doing the video this weekend and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for what we could do to help us stand out. Any suggestions? I'm sure this has been done but I was thinking of trying to do our own Amazing Race and have a friend film us doing stuff you do on the show. That may be a little too goofy, though, and I'm not sure how I'd cut that down to two minutes worth of tape.
