BY NICK THE INTERN:
Greetings faithful readers! This weekend I had the great pleasure of trying out for my favorite show, Big Brother! This is my second, and hopefully last, time trying out. And I don't know why, but both times there have been no more than 100 people there.
In my head, Big Brother casting calls have always been miles long, with people camping out for days to hold their spots in line. Not today. I strolled over to the tryouts around 11:00, and I was only number 20 in line.
Full story after the jump. . .
Again, I was expecting a line stretching Sunset Blvd! And really only about 15 people filed in behind me in the next hour. I sat quietly, filling out my 15 page, 70+ questions application, pondering number 58, what I would bring into the house if I could; Sunglasses, Burt's Beeswax lip balm, and a digital camera.
Or number 55, what accomplishment am I most proud of; my giant sized myspace Halloween costume. They better think I'm cute because these answers really aren't helping.
I noticed TVGuide Channel was there with a news crew. They were interviewing people in the crowd, and when I scanned over, I noticed it wasn't just "people" they were interview, it was Evel Dick! In the flesh!
The man hated by many,
but apparently loved by the middle aged women in this line!
He was showing off his brand new Big Brother 8 tattoo, complete with "The Donato's" written like The Sopranos. The one time I don't have a camera!
I also find out that Joey Buttafuoco is trying out. Can we pause for a moment and re-read what I just said. I will wait.
For those of you who aren't into the play along at home and wont go re-read, thats ok. . . Ill retype. JOEY BUTTAFUOCO IS TRYING OUT FOR BIG BROTHER.
This man!
I know people have criticized not having any older people
in the Big Brother house recently, but seriously?
Joey Buttafuoco? SERIOUSLY?!?
The guy who had a teenage girl shoot his wife in the face????? And people say reality tv has no standards.
I immediately put him down for number 63, What types of people would you NOT choose to live with you in the house?
I admit I was very nervous about my upcoming interview. My first time around didn't go so well. In fact it involved a small room, 5 casting people, one question, and me asking for a paper bag to breathe into.
Basically you go in a room, and there's a camera guy and a casting director and you just talk about your self for two minutes, my favorite topic. And I must say it went rather well! They were laughing and receptive to what I was saying! Seriously, stop casting now, there's no competish!
I can't wait until after school so I can run and check the list for callbacks! So lets hope I at least make semi finals, then I feel I can really win them over! Intern 08, who's with me!? A new Buttafuoco alliance? A Chenbot Love Affair comes to fruition?
TVgasm's Playa!?

Joey Buttafuoco!?!?!? You have to be kidding, right? RIGHT?? That would just be wrong...the guy doesn`t deserve any publicity. But CBS is looking for ratings, so they will probably cast the loser and fix the game so that he wins it.
You, Nick, on the other hand...well, I would be rooting for you to win it all! Wow!! Our very own TVGasm alumni on Big Brother.
Good luck on getting a callback and keep us posted.

I would love to have you in the house Nick. You could chat with me, bevo and giff in the backyard late nights and give us a reason to live-feed report...
