Jeez, there's a lot of them to keep track of.

I thought the previews said 14 contestants vie for blah, blah, blah...?

[ref guy]

I'm looking forward to this one The previews being shown in the theaters look interesting

[John]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the first "preview episode" on the 14th will narrow this field down to 14.

[Wayner]

I see that the two winners will "star" in a Joel Silver film on NBC. Any bets that their parts will be the equivalent of Star Trek Red Shirts?

[WomynLee]

I'm really looking forward to this show. Here's a link for details on auditioning.

The lucky dozen will be flown to Los Angeles to live together under one roof where the serious competition will begin. They will spend six weeks training in acting classes, weapons training and tango lessons, everything that encompasses being an action star. All while smiling under the glaring lights of television cameras!

Thanks for that article, WomynLee. So, to be an action star, you apparently not only have to be proficient in martial arts and weaponry, but you must be able to dance a wicked tango, too.
