OK, here's the backstory. I was walking out of a bar in Hoboken about a year ago with my buddy and this girl with a clipboard comes up to us and asks if we want to be on TV. She says that she's a casting director for 'Change of Heart' and asks us to come in for an audition. A few days later, we decide to do it for no other reason than it sounds like it could be a stupid fun thing to do. After the audition, I hear nothing back and figure I have a face for radio.
So I get this call yesterday from a casting director for Warner Brothers. Apparently 'Change of Heart' got cancelled, but they had all these extra people they auditioned. They thought said I was "tall and had a bubbly personality" and want me to come in and talk to them about being on the show 'Elimidate'. That show entails going on a several dates with four different women and booting one of them after each date.
So now I'm thinking, (1) am I desperate enough to go on a TV dating show, (2) am I prepared for the onslaught of ball-busting that will eventually come should one of my friends see this. I'm not so worried about #2 because I don't think anyone watches this show, but there's always the chance. They do pay a couple bucks and I'd get some free dates out of the deal, so I don't know what to do.
