Watching right now. A guy from my boyfriend's grade at school is in this, and made it past the first set of cuts. His name is Zach Lipovsky(?) from Vancouver. He was the one who was up in the middle of the night practicing his pitch. His pitch was never shown, but we are watching him in the second part.

Cool, Eeyore! I just finished watching him pace the hotel hallway Show looks like a fun pre-BB diversion. Really focuses on the guy competitors, though. I don't think they showed ANY woman's pitch tonight. At first I thought they were breaking it up into guys one night, women the next until I saw some women in the second or third group in front of the judges for elimination. Many of them seem to have pretty "strong personalities". Should make for some enjoyable confrontations

I didn't get to see much of it, but I was very impressed with the judges. They didn't just critisize the participants, but explained what they wanted and then offered constructive criticism.

The judges will be the best part of the show. I've already noticed some neurotic behavior by some of the contestants which, for me is always fun to watch. One problem I had was starting with 50 contestants...I wish they would have cut them by half. I always have trouble remembering who is who even when they start with fewer. Either way I'll watch next week. ETA, cool about the school friend. Any background info would be interesting.

I would have preferred to see all the pitches rather than the usual nervous rantings of this being my only chance, I'm crushed, etc. Glad that each contestant was interviewed individually.

The guy wasn't friends with my boyfriend. My bf was a jock, Zach was an artsy-fartsy theater guy. Two different social camps. They know each other, but only through actual school. Another guy I work with had his submission considered for the show. All of the films were on a website to vote for, before the final competitors were chosen.

urgh... I thought I set this up to record but it didn't. Do you think I can jump in tonight and "catch up" without being super confused?

I think you will be able to jump in. We haven't had a chance to really get to know everyone and it's still in the audition stage before the judges.

the shark & I DVR'd the show and stopped after the scenarios were given out to see what each of us would pitch for the 5 topics. funny how sometimes we had a similar idea, and other times the storyline would be very different. both of us agreed that you have to put a casting idea into the heads of the producers...i.e. "a guys like Topher Grace is a party dude at a local college, a real class clown. when the CIA has a table at the job faire, his dorm buddies fill out an application and he gets called for an interview...." then of course, after pitching this start, a middle (conflict, boy meets/loses girl, and life in peril segment), and the end (sometimes a twist, but always a happy ending if it's a comedy), you finish your pitch with the movie title "Spy University" or something like that. anyway, that's how we spent our evening watching this show. we both agreed, would have liked to have seen more pitches (but maybe some of them were so good they want to keep them hush hush...

I'm really, really enjoying this show. At the end of both episodes I was so wishing for more. The judges are excellent, and some of those films were so good. I was glad to see the bully go. He cried when he left, and I hope when he sees himself on the show that he'll be able to tone himself down and have a good career.

That's so awesome, Eeyore. Even to know of someone like that - the whole 'six degrees' thing. Cool. I'm really liking this so far. I'm intrigued that we as the audience get to vote them out live, a la Idol, or Rock Star. Tres cool.

I'm so glad I watched. Some of the snippets of the cinematography were simply astounding. Beautiful. I'm really going to enjoy this show.
