Survivor Hits Town

Author: HelenKay, Category: Events & Happenings, Television

It’s supposed to rain all weekend and the Super Bowl is not until next week, so this is the perfect weekend to…stand outside for hours and hours. The good news is that you’ll be standing out there getting soaking wet for a good reason:  try-outs for the CBS reality show Survivor. Auditions start on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at Liberty Station in Point Loma.

This is the first round of many audtions, so don’t get excited and think you’ll jump on a plane on Saturday afternoon. Leave your toothbrush at home. But you will need some other things. According to the website, here are the rules:

• Contestants must be 21 years or older at the time of the application.
• Contestants must be a US citizen and living in the United States.
• Contestants must be in excellent physical and mental health.
• Contestants must bring a completed application form and signed release and waiver form. [See the website I linked to above]
• Be prepared to record a 2-minute on-camera video on why you should be on Survivor! There are no re-takes. Be creative, have fun, you can even bring your own props! CBS 8 will tape your audition.
• If you are submitting your own personal tape it is a 3 minute maximum time. In this open audition you have a 2 minute maximum time.
• Space is limited to approximately 400 auditionees, so get there early to get a spot. Auditions will start at 8am, rain or shine. [This one should tell you that arriving early is a good idea]

Good luck. I’ll be the one driving by in a dry car, pointing and laughing at you.
