Alex Bell - Survivor 6 Contestant

[lobeck]

No need to apologize, John. Esquire wouldn't have done it for me, but "Inside the Actor's Studio" would have.

I read somewhere that a casting person found him at Bellys, Mike Boggie's (from BB3) Bar.

No more dwellers of the UnderBelly of reality tv. Groan.

Welcome LuvPug, I LOVE your avatar. What a cute pug.

[Luvpug]

Thanks, Lurkinggirl. I love you avatar, also. lol!

Here is the paragraph froman EW article about Bellys. Sorry, I don't have the link.

Of course, CBS' ''Survivor,'' the granddaddy of the current reality TV boom, isn't immune from temporary amnesia. The net failed to identify ''Survivor: Thailand'' winner Brian Heidik as a former soft-core porn star and is similarly cryptic about one contestant on this spring's ''Survivor: The Amazon.'' Turns out Los Angeles triathlete-trainer Alex Bell is a doorman at the same L.A. bar that's owned and operated by Mike ''Boogie'' Malin, a contestant from CBS' ''Big Brother 2'' (and the spot where Gabe Cade from ''Survivor: Marquesas'' also worked as a barkeep). A CBS spokeswoman claims the net learned of Heidik's acting career, under the name Dave Roth, only after production had begun and that a casting crew ''stumbled'' upon Bell during an unofficial visit to Malin's bar. Seems they didn't need the nationwide casting net on that day.

The net? net? Oh, they mean network! It all makes sense now.

Please ensure there are no doggie rivalries between you and LG

Luvpug, you probably haven't seen it yet, but there are a couple of threads here talking about the Belly connection, and I think this article is included there as well.

I think it's a shame, myself.

[fluff]

Me too.

I think it's very unfair on the people who went to the trouble of sending in tapes.

[Luvpug]

Whoops! Sorry about that. It's just that Mike Boggie and Bellys just irritates me to no end.

Hopefully, I'll get the hang of things around here and get up to date on things quickly.

[John]

No problem at all. Just didn't know if you'd scrolled down on the thread list (one screen up from this). It's about halfway down the page, there are 2 different threads.
