Well, I've been keeping quiet cause I was a semi-finalist, but I got my rejection letter yesterday. Hmph! I'm really disappointed, but knew it was a long shot. I guess media whoredom is just not in my future. Damn. LOL!

It wouldn't be so bad if my life didn't suck so bad right now. I so need a new job. Anybody got any career ideas??

Mindy.....how cool to make it that far. Can you tell us what happened and what it was like?

Grooch

Tuesday, May 21, 2002 - 07:03 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Mindy, I wish you had made it. It would have been so much fun!

You never know. Maybe someone won't be able to make it, and they will call you.

Thanks, I really didn't feel that I made it that far in the process. I'da liked to have made it to the finals.

Unfortunatly, I'm not really allowed to talk about the interview. I'm not allowed to say who I saw (and I DID see people, and there was one person I felt confident would make it), or what was discussed. I'm being cautious cause I don't need to be sued for $5 mil. I'm sure you understand.

Grooch, I wish I had made it too. I really wanted it. I was all ready to make some shout outs to the TVCH folks. Oh well. Now that I've outted myself, even if they changed their minds, I'd be disqualified. Big Brother watches.

I'm still bummed. Honestly, I wasn't so much as concerned with winning the money as I was staying in the house and making it a fun show to watch (I planned to fuel some fires) but oh well, their loss. I think no one knows better than us 'internet folks' what makes for good tv. They need to start choosing more of us.

Good luck to those of you still in the running!

LMAO!! No thanks Grooch! I'm too much of a strong willed b*tch for that kind of show. That's a bit too degrading for me..I expect men to chase ME, not the other way around. Besides, I do have a boyfriend..you might remember I mentioned him alot during S3 because he and Ethan are frightenly similar. There is a new reality show for TLC and they are taking applications, but I don't think I'm cut out for it. It's like Survivor meets McGyver. They drop two teams on an island and they have to escape..like they have to MAKE hot air ballons and stuff..it mentioned something about knowing morse code. Hello? No thanks, I just wanted to sit in the jacuzzi and talk trash about people LOL!! Anyway, thanks for all your support folks! My boyfriend is up for a job in DC so I'm still crossing my fingers for that. Get chanting for me! LOL!

Hey cool Mindy, any tidbits that you CAN share, not about the people but about the process and what you were asked etc?? Good luck with the job thing too..

Lanzee, nice to see you (and your pen?) back around.

Mindyrama

I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say. Hmmm...well, they choose X amount of people per region to be in the semi-finals. (I had to drive to Dallas) Those ended recently. From those people they choose X amount (I know the amount but not sure if I can say) to go to the finals in LA. I got a letter saying I was not choosen to go to LA. Hmph! The semi-finals just involve an interview (can't share details). And well, that's about it. They don't really want people seeing or talking to each other but I got to talk to one person and saw a few others. Really, it wasn't a huge deal. I wanted to get to the finals, but I didn't. Oh well.

How cool! You are right about using internet people, it does make a difference. (In a good way)


I think they should have picked you and Lanzee.

Mindyrama

Wednesday, May 22, 2002 - 11:18 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I agree!!! We totally know what the fans want to see!!

Thanks Mindy! I love the little insider details! Anything else that you think you can share, please do...

Mindy... Congrats and Sorry all in the same sentence! What fun.

Mindy...can you share details you know after the show starts to air? or is your hush agreement forever?

So you can never tell anyone what the experience was? It is amazing to think that they could keep control over so many people. There must have been quite a few. Did you sign a contract that said they could sue you if you mentioned anything?

Bigfan

Okay, somebody get mindyrama and tie her up in a corner and we'll get the info out of her somehow!!
We want facts, all the facts. We watched this program 24/7 through two seasons and we want to know everything!! NO hidden contracts or frontdoor shots for this fan club!!!

Fruitbat

I got the duct tape Bigfan, can you supply the muscle. :)

Tksoard

Thursday, May 23, 2002 - 11:04 am EditMoveDeleteIP
And when we get done, we can tie her to the Big Brother door until they let her in!!!

Bigfan

Thursday, May 23, 2002 - 06:43 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well Fruitbat, I'm not much on the brute side but I could hold her off for a short while!!

Tksoard, If we had mindyrama plastered across the front door we might not mind getting the frontdoor cam,we'd have added entertainment!

Mindy....Can you tell us why they are opposed to you telling us what happened with your interview. And why they are so careful not to get someone not involved in message boards. That would probably be OK, yes? I am very curious what difference that would make to them.

Mindyrama

Friday, May 24, 2002 - 09:10 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I'm not sure...I did read through the zillion page contract but I can't remember all it said. I do remember it said that I can't do anything that would interfere in anyway with the interviewing 'process'..I suppose sharing info would be considered interfering. Please realize that I'm one in MANY that get this far for every reality show and NO ONE is talking..why do you think that is? We can't. We sign things. But really, it wasn't that big a deal. I know the secrecy thing makes it seems like something major must of happened, but really not. No big deal. But I do know that they watch the boards so I'm not saying anything more than what I have. Sorry. Maybe after the show starts, if I see one of the people on the show that I saw in Dallas, maybe I can say?? I was thinking of asking Kent if that's allowed. It should be, right??

Please don't duct tape me!!!

Twiggyish

Kent says on his website discussion board that call backs are not finished until June 10th. So maybe there is still hope for all.
Alice, it's possible that site listed had the wrong information.

Mindyrama

Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 10:00 am EditMoveDeleteIP
That's possible but my interview was done the first week of May ..most of the semi-final interviews were done that week (I think)..my rejection letter was written the 14th of May. Notice that's the same day that is listed on BB2live. When I read that, I was soooo disappointed because I hadn't received a call and I thought maybe they meant the first calls for the semi-finals..but nope, I got my letter. Not too mention that the finals are..uh... very soon....I could see them making the last calls around June 10 (for the actual cast), but the calls for the finals have to be done by now.

Mindyrama: Do you not have a copy of the contract you signed?

Mindyrama

Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 11:15 am EditMoveDeleteIP
No, I was going to make a copy but was too afraid someone would see me doing it. I wasn't really that concerned about it anyway. I pretty much know the rules....most people do at this point.

Mindy...I hear you. I made semi-finals last year and it was such a downer not to make finals. I didn't even get a letter; I just had to wait to NOT get a call. But it was really fun nontheless to even go to semi-finals.

I applied again this year but since it's the same casting director I'm sure she remembers the people who came in last year (and were rejected..heh). If I had been in town on June 11 (I was in Europe) I would've gone to the L.A. casting call too! Nothing like being obnoxious! And damn it, I'll apply again next year too!

Can't wait to see who made it this year...
