I don't usually post all the casting calls, but this one is so hilarious.. Take a minute and read it if you want a good laugh!!

Brides to be or not to be
As ABC comes looking for contestants in Tampa, consider the finer points of Bachelor protocol.

By JAY CRIDLIN, Times Staff Writer
Published November 21, 2006

Ladies, The Bachelor is coming to Tampa.

ABC’s matchmaking franchise will hold three casting sessions this week and next.

Potential contestants must be single, adventurous and at least 21 years old. There are no details on the bachelor yet, but producers say this season will take place in a tropical location.

Nervous about the possibility of finding love on a hit reality series? Don’t be.

Here are a few simple rules to keep in mind.

Art of Conversation

- On dates, be sure to ask about your partner’s job (tire heir, NFL quarterback, movie star’s brother, Italian prince). He, in turn, will inquire about your own career ambitions (aspiring model, aspiring actor, aspiring bra model). Let him know that you will drop any and all of these career goals in exchange for a rose.

- It is never considered inappropriate to talk about your sex life. Not even at baptisms.

- If at all possible, try to stick to a three-bleeped-words-per-hourlong-broadcast maximum. Drunkenness is not an excuse for more.Correspondence

- When auditioning for The Bachelor, you may be asked to fill out an application using an actual pen and paper. Therefore, ladies, when doingso, it is considered entirely bad form to answer the question “Please list qualifications” by writing “ur a looser. . . jk-ROTFL ya i totes LUV the bachlr . . . TTYL.”

- Your bachelor may attempt to woo you with a love note or poem. As he is reading, bite your tongue, smile blankly and think of how nice the gift baskets will be in the green room at VH1’s Celebrity Paranormal.

Special Occasions

During your stint on The Bachelor, you should observe proper codes of conduct:

- Hot tub parties: The Cristal is always passed to the right. If you plan to make out with a fellow contestant, always signal the cameraman first.

- Pillow fights: Sportsmanship counts, just like in bikini football. Extend a hand to help up anyone you accidentally knock to the ground and straddle. Always giggle.

- Sunset horseback picnics: Horses smell. Nothing you can do about that.• Operas, plays, poetry readings, art gallery openings: You will not be attending any of these.

How to Dress

- Slutty. For an outdoor party, slutty-casual.

OFFICIAL Protocol

- The rose ceremony is a sacred tradition dating back to 2002. If you cannot avoid lapsing into curse-laden hysterics about what total skanks your fellow competitors are, at least do it during May sweeps.

- If a man looks you in the eyes and asks you to accept his rose, try to answer with a straight face. Go on, try it. Can’t do it, can you? Neither could we.

- Roses attract aphids. Splash a little Raid behind your ears each night before bed.Weddings

- Few couples on The Bachelor end up as husband and wife. Still, it is considered proper etiquette to remain together for at least five (5) red carpet movie premieres, or until you receive your own Wikipedia profile.

-If you do decide to get married, the invitation should be worded thusly: “9 p.m. (ABC) The Bachelor: The Wedding: (His name) and (your name) tie the knot with a magical ceremony in a 13th century Scottish castle. Regis Philbin guests. TV-13 (CC)”

-When soliciting bids for the exclusive rights to photograph the wedding ceremony, remember that In Touch and InStyle are two separate publications.

- When recording a wedding night sex tape, speak clearly and directly into the camera, so TMZ.com will have no trouble identifying you in six months.

Family Life

If asked by producers to bear your new husband’s children for a spinoff, it is acceptable to demand an extra $100,000 and an associate producer credit.

If you go

Be on 'Bachelor’

Erica is funny in a kind of cheap way and I enjoy laughing at her - not with her - but she has already worn out her welcome. I wouldn't mind if she crashed the FRC and made a scene but beyond that I want her to stay off my TV screen. There's enough garbage there already, I don't need to see more.

Heh heh. We don't agree on much this time around the Bachelor merry-go-round Ms. F, but I'm right there with you on Erica. I feel like I should feel more guilty about laughing at her but she just keeps blurting out so much ammunition.

Bachelor says gun dad was kidding
by Brad Schmitt
November 20, 2006 | permalink

Prince Lorenzo Borghese, the star of The Bachelor: Rome, blames editing for making Jennifer's dad look like a gun nut who was threatening the prince.

lorenzo.gif"He was really being humorous," Lorenzo told me this morning in a satellite interview. "It wasn't as serious as it appeared."

On the show, you see Jennifer's dad, during hometown visits, pumping a shotgun and telling Lorenzo that was reserved for guys who disrespect his daughter.

Lorenzo said today that he was showing off his gun collection, that the guns were unloaded and that the dad had been joking around a lot before delivering his not-so-veiled threat.

So Lorenzo wasn't worried or annoyed at all.

Perhaps a big scarier: Tonight is the "women tell all" episode.

And the finale happens a week from tonight on News 2.

Must have been another video conference sequence of interviews - setting is the same from his clip on Good Things Utah.

Thanks Bright!! That was a very good video to watch!!! Interesting too.
Lorenzo says, to make a relationship work, you need to have the same values.

I agree that it was interesting. Part of what was interesting to me was that they brought up Sadie's virginity and Lorenzo talked about why he would've dumped her and how it had nothing to do with her virginity but would've been because they didn't get along. Also interesting is that they let Lorenzo say Chris' comment from last season where he said he's been told that Sadie's everyone's favorite. He only said about her that she was genuine and fun - and wasn't asked anything about Jen directly - just her dad...

It was almost as if he was clearing the air about Sadie before the finale showed.

He also says that he pretty much just concentrated on those couple of girls that he felt something for throughout the show.

Don't feel guilty. The girl is either completely deluded and just as stupid as she appears to be or she's putting on a good act. Either way she volunteered to be on this show and public ridicule comes with the territory.

Thank you that was a good interview. Lorenzo seems to be cleaning up before the FRC hits. He corrected the damage Jen's dad did with the guns also. I thought it was funny that her Dad really wanted to show him his fishing rod collection but it wouldn't have made good TV.

Thanks again Bryght!!
