The Biggest Loser is Casting Nationwide

NBC’s popular reality series “The Biggest Loser” is launching a 15-city cross-country search to find new contestants for the next edition of the hit show. Individuals and teams of two who have at least 100 lbs. to lose are encouraged to apply for the new season, which will air in the fall of 2010.

Casting producers are looking for outgoing and charismatic individuals and teams of two who have the personality, desire and competitive edge to vie for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lose weight, change their lives forever and compete for a grand prize of $250,000. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age and legal residents of the United States.

While they will try to see everyone, “The Biggest Loser” casting teams will do their best to see the first 500 people in line. People will not be allowed to line up prior to three hours before the start of the open call. Candidates should bring a non-returnable photo of themselves (and their partners if applying as a team).

Sinceer from Flavor of Love 3 tells you how to get on a reality show

A lot of people would love to know what it takes to get chosen to be on a reality show (and no, it’s not by leaving comments on Reality Roll Call, saying how much you want to be on a show). It takes a special person to be one of the chosen few to take a shot at fame and/or notoriety. Sinceer from Flavor of Love 3 gives a few hints on her MySpace blog:

I get tons of questions about how I got on a reality show, and how do you look for casting calls. I used to wonder that myself so, I’m writing this blog to help those who want to audition for a reality show. First off be you and keep it 100% , everybody is different and you’re more likely to stand out being you then trying to be something you’re not (remember not every show is looking for your personality and that’s fine, because there are tons of reality shows these days).

What do you get when you cross The Amazing Race with an eating competition, aside from stomach cramps and vomiting? You get the Food Network’s upcoming game show, which they are currently casting for in Los Angeles:

How to Have a Successful American Idol Audition

A few words of advice: if you’re going to audition for A.I., please don’t sing the hits of Beyonce, Alicia Keyes or Whitney Houston if you are a male. I don’t care if they are your favorite divas, there’s something inherently weird about a guy singing diva songs.

But if you insist on going down the Dreamgirls path, dress the part, so that even if you don’t make it to Hollywood, you make it to television.

That is advice that you can take to the bank, but if you’d like the advice of people who actually know something, get a few hints from Jordan Sparks, Jon Peter Lewis, Ace Young and other past Idol contestants.
