No, not another bashing thread on one hg, I am bashing them all now!

If you look at how much/little the Survivors made out of their tv appearance (mainly talk soup and cbs ads) I wonder if the hgs will eve appear on our radar screens. They only have until the next survivor or bb show to leverage their claim to fame. once those shows start they will be forgotten.

I guess I am not bashing, just keeping it REAL!

If you go to www.Zap2it.com, there is a new article about Colleen from Survivor costaring in a new national movie to being filming this October, and to be released next summer. It will star that Duece Bigalo-Male Gigilo guy from Saturday Night Live...

Also, Sean will be appearing in a recurring role on a Soap Opera soon. I believe Karen from BB will have a one time guest spot on Passions? Is that right guys?

Maybe there is a little hope after all... :)

They won't have that long.TV talk in just a couple weeks will turn to new fall shows-and a whole new cast of"personalities"will get the air time.

BTW-Nick starts the original Fugitive series in reruns 1st week in Oct-wonder what the new one will do that hasn't been done?

Gervais is going to be on the Hughley's
& Rudy has scored a recurring role this
on JAG as a retired grumpy old Navy Seal. :)

The thing that might work for them is the SAG strike. Of course they will be branded but at least they can probably cash in on some commercials and stuff.

You know, I just can't see any of them really doing anything substantial.

If Britt is the one thought to have the most potential, then that says a lot about the opportunities the others will get. I liked Britt, but I never could picture her as being an actress or model. A VJ, maybe.

We know Jamie will try, but most likely not do anything big.

George said he never got any offers. I wonder if Cass did? And Karen said she got three, yet had to look for a job once she got to LA.

We all know what Jordan is doing.

Someone said Will just went back to his job.

I could see Josh maybe getting back into modelling.

But Curtis or Eddie? I don't know.

Whatever

Eddie should capitalize on his short-lived celebrity by seeking a career as a professional wrestler in sports entertainment.

Based on the fan base he has attracted, it is an ideal opportunity.

Here is my "prediction":

Will.. just going along life as before BB.. wasn't in BB that long and wasn't/isn't impressed by any of the hoopla, I don't think.

Jordon: she'll continue hosting radio

Karen: after her guest spot on Passions, and maybe a few commercials, she will settle into life in LA with a regular job.

Brittany: will host a music show or talk show, maybe appear in a movie (comedy most likely).

Cassandra: Life as before BB.

George: has new-found confidence inhimself. starts new business. But before that, I think will be a guesthost on SNL or some comedy show. He's a natural comedian! Don't flame me! lol! Just MHO. ;)

Jamie: Lands a role on a soap.

Curtis: Becomes involved in entertainment law.

Josh: does modeling for awhile and then settles back into life pre-BB. On a personal level, I really see him and Britt together. :)

Eddie: the winner! :) I also see him being a spokesperson, and then he'll continue school and end up producing a film of his own. His production company will be called "ED McGee Prod." :)

meant to say "productions" at the end, but I am in the habit of abbreviating it.

The Survivor gang are doing great! Colleen landed the movie and she is the one Survivor who didn't even care about an acting career! Jenna looked gorgeous co-hosting Regis and she is on Hollywood Squares all this week along with Richard, Gervase and Susan (who even looks pretty - good makeup artist on that show). Gervase gets the most attention on Hollywood Squares. Every time his name is called the screams are incredible! He already did The Hughleys last week. Sean did a soap already - The Guiding Light - and he is a correspondent (medical) for The Early Show. Joel is an Exercise Consultant for The Early Show. Rudy did JAG and some ads for Disney or something. Sonya did Diagnosis Murder (she has been an actress for years). I can't remember what else.

I think that Gervase, Jenna and Richard have star potential.

Also, it was the Survivors from the 2nd half of the show (that lasted the longest) that are getting the most attention. Stacy did a Reebocks commercial when she first got kicked off the island, but that was all.

Some of them co-hosted THE LIST - Jenna was the co-host actually and the rest of them were guests - Joel, Gervase, Colleen, Greg.

Susan and Richard also co-hosted Regis - Susan was incredibly rude to Regis - she made me squirm. She was horrible. Richard and Jenna did a great job.

As Jordan said in Salon interview:

What about Brittany's signing with a "major talent agency"?

I could sign! Signing means nothing! Anybody can sign with a major talent agency. I mean, [the producers] want so badly to -- they know they screwed up with the casting, they know they screwed up with the show -- they're trying to save themselves and make it sound like they're launching these celebrities into Hollywood! Like saying that I've got my own show?

I say they are screwed. I still think one of them should have taken the $50,000. That is more money than #4 or #5 will ever see from this gig.

It is not easy to sign with ANY talent agency, nonetheless a MAJOR one. It is difficult enough to freelance with an agent, nonetheless get signed. Take it from one who has been trying to get an agent to send me out and has never had any luck. I get all my own auditions and I book a lot of work - but all on my own. I did get a print agent recently, but he won't send me out until I get new pictures.

Eaglemagic, no offense, but you haven't just finished a three month gig on a CBS series. Every HG could easily "sign" with an agent. Since they are all under contract to CBS, it makes sense for an agent to at least give them a shot. It doesn't cost the agent a dime and there's a much better chance that one of the HGs will get a job offer than a struggling unknown. That said, I empathize with you. I'm a former actor married to an actress. As a stage director, I audition thousands of actors, but I am seriously considering one of the HGs for my next project. Are there better actors? Undoubtedly. But if she can instinctively bring the right quality to the role and earn audience and media attention, I would be foolish to miss the chance to work with her.
