Props to whoever spells out "Put Andy On Survivor" with Krispy Kremes and takes an overhead shot of it...

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I have the rear shot of the Beantown Blit "Put Andy On Survivor." The video is 1.47 megs. Please, be gentle on my web host! If anyone has a higher bandwith provider to host this, please let me know!

Here it is:

(edit: apologies for the poor video quality, I wanted to make it as small as possible. Andy, if you want a much higher resolution version, let me know and I'll get it to you somehow)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Thanks everybody!

Tomorrow, I'm going to Andy's house to help him produce the Put Andy on Survivor Tape. Ill save a digital copy and hopefully i'll get a copy put up here soon, pending Andy's permission.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

put JVN on Survivor too!!! :p

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

It'd be a great wonder if we had John-V Neun, Andy Baker, Big Mike, D.J.Fluck, Steve W, Karthik, Brandon Martus, Amanda Morrison, Jessica Boucher, Erin Rapacki, Woodie Flowers and Dean Kamen together on Survivor. I usually dont watch TV(call me insane for that), but if this happens, I'd even forget about my exams and watch TV. WOW.. that sounds just insane..

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

maybe FIRST would get more attention if we started a reality show...

they could vote off a different robot each episode! :D

wow, i just got some crazy ideas, i'm going to go start another thread :)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Of all that you mentioned I would only be worried about two. No Karthik not you. The ones that I would worry about are Amanda Morrison and Erin Rapacki. Both great people but with the little I do know and the fact that they are female ........

Enough said, I could be in enough trouble. ;)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

...umm, yeah. Did I mention Im a long-distance swimmer? ;)

<edit> And according to Steve W, apparently I am not female. </edit>

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Very cool!

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I don't think that we have met. I'm Steve and now I have 3 to worry about. :)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

The thought of being put on an island for 35 days with that group of people?!? I might vote myself off on the first day to get away from Steve. :) Plus, I don't know if my ribcage can take any more bear hugs from Big Mike.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I'd say the hardest to deal with would be John, Andy, and Big Mike.

Brandon is helpless without a keyboard (HA!), and even though he's tall, I can take him. DJ would do something dumb and blow himself up with homemade explosives. Steve and Karthik would be too busy doing their hair to catch food, and therefore would starve. Jess Boucher and Erin ... will be disposed of (evil smile) because I don't have any good way to get rid of them! Woodie and Dean... they'd forget to show up. There's a game in the works, people!

As for John and Big Mike, I'll let them 'pool wrassle' and probably forget how to swim. Karthik, in a last attempt, will come back and serenade Amanda to try and melt her off the island, but hunger will take him in the end! (The boy can only last so long... he's a beanpole!) Andy Baker will be too busy trying to figure out how to make a good transmission from a coconut and forget about the contest.

Amanda Morrison WINS!

I hope you all take this in as much fun as I did. :) I'm excited to be on this list with so many big names, and so many great people.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

It's true, it takes a while to get my hair just right. Would I be allowed to bring my entire hair care regiment as my luxury item? You know, it's hard being this beautiful...:)

As for the starvation bit, I can go extended periods of time without food, it goes with the territory of maintaining my supermodel like figure. ;)

Anyway, it wouldn't be an issue, because we all know that Amanda can't resist my voice. It's just too angelic.

End result, Karthik wins.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

True Survivor fans will get this...

The true question is, which FIRST Survivor would fake a dead grandma to win an award challenge. That, my friends, is your winner!

So much for Gracious Professionalism...

Brings a whole new meaning to "Act as you would if your Grandmother were watching."

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

A short series indeed. Big Mike would eat them all after bear hugging them into submission.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Wasnt that Jonny Fairplay? Guy with curly blonde hair. He and his friend made up the story on one of those (family/friend visits). At least I think so...

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Anyway....

Filming is done, and most of it is digitized....look for it to be uploaded by next Tuesday, just depends on when I can get it done and get the tape to Andy (Thats most important) then i'll size it down and upload it.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Everyone should go to CBS's feedback page and leave a request to put Andy on Survivor. Show them that this would bring a lot more viewers to the show.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Just one question, Andy,

Would it be Survivor 10 that you're applying for?

Good Luck with your video!

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I can imagine what's-his-name at the next premiere: "Who's this Andy Baker guy?" :D

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

HA. Fat chance, my friend....

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I was reading The Detroit News from Tuesday and found an interesting tidbit. It's too late for this one, but maybe they'll have more, and closer to Indiana.

Full Text, The Detroit News

Be a 'Survivor' contestant

If you think you have what it takes to make it on "survivor," casting directors are looking for you.

Contestants must be 21 years or older, U.S. citizens, be in excelent physical and mental health, and allow producers to conduct a background check. Visit www.cbsdetroit.com for more details.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Here is a quick update on this:

It has been over two weeks since they received my tape and application, and I have not heard anything. The application said that they would be doing interviews in late July, so there still is a chance.

Of course, I am not expecting anything, but there is still a slight chance.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

I'm just waiting for Andy to make a pig-catching bot with coconuts and bamboo.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Are they at least going to let you know one way or the other? Or are they expecting the applicants to take a hint if they don't hear from them by mid-August? It inhales audibly not knowing either way and not to mention the anticipation also.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

But.. but.. You had "Real Canadians" rooting for you.. Doesn't that count from something?
Don't they want to open up their target audience to include these "Real Canadians"?

Oh wait.. Is survivor even broadcast into Canada? I'm assuming it is, but as the saying goes, "assumption is the mother of all evil".

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

so what are you going to do with the million?

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Silly Americans, of course we get Survivor, along with many of you USA-based stations... (FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, etc) We are realityTV buffoons up here. I myself was at the Wonderland Invitational, (part of the winning alliance I might add *thanks 1241 and 1114*... it WAS 1114 wasn't it?) and part of the video.... anyway "PUT ANDY ON SURVIVOR!"

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

So...Mr. Baker....any news????

You're mad!!! Insane!! But nevertheless we're rooting for ya!

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Nope... no contact at all. It's most likely not going to happen.

However, if we work together like this again, I think that we can compile a good entry for someone* in the future. This could be the start of something kinda neat: when one of us needs the help of the FIRST (or ChiefDelphi Forums) community, they can ask for input like this.

We can do this collaborative thing with regard to writing letters (like the WRRF did with getting Federal $$ last year), putting a video together, or making phone calls.

This is a good thing. I am really not disappointed that I heard nothing from this. Obviously, I did not expect to make it on the show, but I hoped it would happen. There is a big difference to me between hopes and expectations.

*: it would be someone else's turn to do this

Thank you all again for the support and encouragement in this fun endeavor.

Andy B.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Sorry to hear you didn't make it, Andy. I'd have loved to see you on Survivor, and I think you'd have done great. You're still our ultimate Survivor :)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Andy,

DUde im sorry you didnt make it. However i think its for the best...you are such a good man, that i would hate for you to get caught up in all the political crap that happens after. The people they put on are backstabbing people, and i think you should stay the way you are. but it was worth the shot and a video tape.


`Greg!

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

as if andy could really get on Survivor (cough)
you're too much of a good guy to go on reality TV, Mr Andy
there's only jack*sses on that show

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Really sorry to see this happen Andy, but there's always Big Brother, right? ;)

Hey, I've got an idea. At nats next year, we'll select 16 FIRSTers and strand them without food or water in the wilderness of Atlanta. :D

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Oh Mr. Baker, I'm sorry you didn't make it! It would have been cool to see you on Survivor. Probably woulda' been the only reason I'd watch!
I'm glad you're taking it so well. Good GP! (I don't like reality TV anyway ;) )
--d0ri

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Big Brother?!

I could see the twist for next season...Andy Baker gets put in the house with a FIRSTer, AND NEITHER OF THEM KNOW IT! (dun dun duuuuuuun...)

I couldn't resist...if you're watching BB5, you know what I'm saying.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

No, him and PJ Baker would switch out. :yikes:

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

hehehehe Big Brother....now I think we've gone too far ;)
i don't think his woman would approve...
i know i wouldn't (but we could all use the extra $$$, eh?)

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed
 

Hey if all else fails just try try again.... you could start gathering all of the clips that people have taken of you from FIRST... i would be more than happy to get you the master copy of the video that flowerday posted of the IRI talent show...then you should start making the video now so when it comes time to enter again you have a video all made up and ready! If you want any editing help i can help you becuase well... video editing is what I do... I would also reccomend that at FIRST regionals have a bunch of teams stand with you somewhere and tape all of them saying "put Andy on Survivor" you have time until the next casting call so you can get people to do big group things.

And if all else fails sit up in a tree and tell them that you are a mentor of a FIRST team.. if you can deal with us students you can deal with a month or so on an island in the middle of nowhere anyday!
