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..

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.

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."

JUST SIT RIGHT BACK AND YOU'LL HEAR A TALE,
A TALE OF A TV GIG.
THAT STARTED IN THIS CD THREAD
WHEN ANDY GRABBED A PIG.

ALL THE BIGGEST NAMES IN FIRST
DEAN, WOODIE FLOWERS AND MORE -
12 GEEKY NERDS PREPARED TO PLAY
FIRST SUR-VI-VOR, FIRST SUR-VI-VOR.

THE FIRST WEEK STARTED OUT REAL BAD
KARTHIK'S SINGING GOT HIM TOSSED.
IF NOT FOR THE COLOR OF STEVE WARREN'S HAIR
THE RATINGS WOULD BE LOST; THE RATINGS WOULD BE LOST.

THE DRAMA STARTED PICKING UP AS WE ENJOYED THE SHOW -
WITH JOHN V-NEUN, HIS FAN CLUB, TOO.
BRANDON M. AND BIG MIKE.
D.J. FLUCK, AND THE REST

HERE ON FIRST SUR-VI-VOR!

SO THIS IS THE TALE OF OUR MOTLEY CREW,
WHO BUILT BOTS IN SIX WEEKS' TIME.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SURVIVAL SKILLS,
IT'S AN UPHILL CLIMB.

ERIN, JESSICA, AND AMANDA M.
ARE VERY CAPABLE LASSES.
AND WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT
THEY'D KICK ALL THE GUYS' (POSTERIORS).

NO MILL, NO LATHE, NO METAL BAR,
NOT A SINGLE LUXURY.
LET'S ALL WATCH AS ANDY MAKES
A COCONUT TRANNY.

SO JOIN THEM ALL ON UPN,
YOU'RE SURE TO LAUGH A LOT.
AS ONE OF 12 FIRST CELEBRITIES
WINS THE TWENTY DOLLAR POT!

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. Tryouts for the CBS reality show will be held 4-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Post Bar, 42875 Grand River Ave. in Novi. 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.

-Allison

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

Andy, I sincerely think that you would be the most apt person to be on survivor.
Personally, I've never been a fan of survivor (actually i have never watched it but if you get accepted to it ... I will watch it religously for as long as you are there. And don't worry I have hopes that you'll make it and if you don't then the shows sucks all together cuz you are a survivor to us. So don't be discouraged and good luck!!

And like I said, I'll be a faithful watcher if you make it! I'll call every week and tell the people of the show to be extra nice to you ... he he

We are all behind you on this!!!

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.

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

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!"
