New Bachelor Casting Call

[cafegirl]

I hope this is ok to post this article and heaven help, anyone out there wanting to apply for the next Bachelor.... Here are the requirements they are looking for...... Sounds like Assemblyman Levine is past the age range (he's 36, but I guess they're making an exception, if he is really is in the running) I had to underline the part about not wanting aspiring actors.... aww.. after 8 seasons, what, they're finally going to stop the actor-audition aspect of this show??? Of course, they put an addendum to that clause by saying You need to have another occupation (like dog walker, pharmaceutical salesman, welder, trainer, waiter.....)

Thanks for sharing that, hotlanta babe. I really hope they find someone else besides Lloyd. It's not that I find him unattractive, but it would probably be pretty boring because the guy has an image to uphold and I doubt he'd be doing any of the fun zany stuff Charlie did!!

Yeah, I got one of those e-mails. Too bad I'm Byron's age, and now Fleiss apparently thinks that's too old.

RandalR, I say "go for it"! Fleiss and Co. never seems to stand by their "steadfast" rules!!! If you happan to be a doctor, business owner or "heir", you'd stand a good chance no matter your age, it sounds like!!

This is the first time I have seen an article where the Bachelor producers are offering money ($5,000) to find a bachelor for the upcoming show!!! Too bad I can't think of anyone I would subject to that kind of scrutiny because I could use an extra $5,000!!

'Bachelor' to hold auditions in Austin
Producers looking for one man, 25 women to comprise reality show's next season
By Marie Delahoussaye


Hopeful Austin singles will have a chance to meet their match on national television at upcoming tryouts for ABC's "The Bachelor" reality series.

Tryouts for the bachelor and the 25 ladies vying for his attention will be held Aug. 9 and 11 at three Austin locations - the Driskill Hotel, Firehouse Lounge downtown and Cool River Cafe in North Austin.

According to the casting call, producers are offering $5,000 to anyone who can find "a handsome, ambitious, charming, successful guy" to star in the eighth season of the show, which will be set in Paris.

"I think it's the most romantic city in the world," said Melissa Little, a publicist for the show. "What better place to meet the man or woman of your dreams?"

Little said the upcoming season, which will air in early 2006, is the first to travel outside of the U.S.

The casting director expects more than 100 tryouts in Austin, Little said. Everyone will be granted a five-minute interview after which the best fits will receive callbacks.

Joyce Benavidez, marketing manager for the Driskill, said she's anticipating the event.

"The Driskill is very excited to host 'The Bachelor' here in Austin, Texas and looks forward to seeing the turnout of Austin ladies," Benavidez said.

Kara VanLoozen, a "Bachelor" fan and applied learning and development senior, said she won't try out for the show, because she's in a relationship of three years.

She likes watching the show, she said, because of the "drama."

"I just think it's really interesting to see all the girls chase after one guy," VanLoozen said.

Van Loozen said her friend Rachel Lundy, however, is always talking about trying out.

Lundy, a corporate communication senior at the University of Houston, said she probably will try out online or by mail, because she can't make it to Austin.

The deadline for bachelor and bachelorette nominations and applications is Aug. 17.

"I would rather try out for 'The Bachelor' than 'The Bachelorette' because I would not want the pressure of trying to pick someone," Lundy said. "But I'm a huge believer in fate. If I auditioned, and I made it, and I went on [the show], I think there'd be a reason."

RandalR, why don't you start your own edition of the Bachelor in the Fun and Games thread? I'm sure there are 25 ladies crazy enough to play along. (Count me out, but I would be happy to take on Chris's role. )

LOL! Well, I'm a Vice President at an investment firm - meaning that even though I probably meet Fleiss's "minimum net worth" requirement, I also have a professional reputation to uphold. Even if I could spare the eight to ten weeks away from work for shooting and then extra time doing all of the follow-up promotional stuff for ABC, appearing on such a show would expose me to ridicule in my professional circles and would torpedo my career in a hurry.

That truth probably rules out a lot of potential candidates. But, I'm sure they'll find some young heir-type who craves even the negative attention he's likely to get.
