13: FEAR IS REAL

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:56:00 +0000

Applications to be on season 1 of 13: FEAR IS REAL, a horror-themed reality series that premiered on CW on January 9/09, first closed on April 16/08. They didn't find everything they were looking for and the deadline was extended to May 12th as the producers sought, "white-collar professionals or students pursuing a white collar profession."

This series has some heavyweight names behind it. Spiderman director Sam Rami and partner Robert Tapert, along with Jay Bienstock (Survivor, Apprentice) are executive producers. Originally titled House of Horrors, the premise, according to Variety, is to, “utilize horror-themed challenges to knock players off one by one, until just one is left, having survived all that bloodshed.”

Open casting calls were held in LA, Philadelphia, Dallas and Miami. According to the producers, they are casting 13 like a horror movie, with all the stereotypes the producers of the Scream movies have been making a living off of for years.

VPTV will update this post when new information (Renewed? Season 2 casting?) becomes available.

ROCK OPPOSITES

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:40:00 +0000

Casting closed April 9/08 for Rock Opposites Entertainment's in-development battle of the bands reality television series ROCK OPPOSITES. They were casting Christian Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Hardcore, Country, Pop and Rock bands with “enthusiastic, eccentric, energetic band members who are passionate about their musical tastes and would likely make for compelling “characters” on television." Off stage personas were a crucial selling point, as they were searching for entertaining personalities as much as good musicians.

If the MySpace casting site is still up, ignore it. The producers have informed VPTV that the site will be taken down shortly. VPTV will update this post when new information (premier date? network?) becomes available.

FEMALE MC COMPETITION

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:14:00 +0000

The VH1 casting page may still have an out-of-date notice up for an untitled reality series about a FEMALE MC COMPETITION. Open Calls were held in NYC and LA a half a freakin' year ago. Emails to the address given for application queries returns a form email stating the competition has been cast. VPTV is intrigued by the concept and will track the show and update this post as needed.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:08:00 +0000

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: Summer Session is a multi-episode ABC summer reality competition series built around the Disney Channel’s HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL concept. The series debut was on Sunday, July 20/08.

Two open casting calls were held (April 27 in Long Beach and May 7 in Orlando). According to the official casting website, in addition to the two open calls, casting scouts from "High School Musical: Summer Session" scoured the country looking for otherwise unknown talent they thought deserved a chance to try out for this new reality series. The casting scouts selected some of these individuals to be brought to the final auditions, before a panel of judges, which was held as the final phases of the open calls. Unfortunately, no information was provided regarding how one went about getting the attention of these scouts.

VPTV will update the post when new information (Renewed? Season 2 casting?) becomes available.

CAN YOU DUET

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:08:00 +0000

An open call for season 2 of CAN YOU DUET, the CMT singing competition for country duos that did so well in its debut run last spring, will be held at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville, Tenn., on March 7/09. If you can’t make the open call, you will be able to submit a video audition, but the particulars for that weren’t yet up on the casting site when last we checked.

In 2008 a CAN YOU DUET open call was held in southern California as well as Nashville, but that will not be the case this season. According to the casting director, "Because of our abbreviated casting schedule this season, there's only one open call this season. While a Tape Submission is strongly encouraged (we may contact some contestants in advance based off early submissions), hopefuls MUST attend that call if they want a chance to be on the show."

This show is produced by FreemantleMedia, producers of American Idol among other reality series, so expect a professionally run casting process. If you would like to learn more about how auditioning to be on season two of CAN YOU DUET, click here.

If you have additional questions, the email address is canyouduetcasting@gmail.com and the Casting Hotline number is (800) 813.5077.

DANCE WAR

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:21:00 +0000

DANCE WAR: BRUNO VS. CARRIE ANN did well in the ratings for ABC, with all 6 episodes winning their timeslots. It certainly helped that it ran at the same time on the same week night for the entirety of the Jan. 7 - Feb. 11/08 run (unlike Terminator: SCC, which occasionally ran against it on Fox).

Shamefully, ABC continues to run the 1st season casting notice on its casting page months after it expired. The final open audition for season 1 of DANCE WAR was Saturday, Sept. 29th, in NYC. Attendance at an open audition was supposed to be mandatory, but at the last minute they decided to accept video submissions until midnight, Oct. 12th.

.
This series will likely be renewed. If it is, and if you would like to apply to be on DANCE WAR 2, VPTV will update this post when new info becomes available.

AMERICA'S MOST SMARTEST MODEL

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 19:28:00 +0000

VH1's AMERICA'S MOST SMARTEST MODEL was a tongue firmly in cheek competition series that premiered on VH1 October 7/07. Seven men and 7 women competed for the title and $100,000. An online competition was held from November/07 through January/08 for people who wanted to be on AMERICA'S MOST SMARTEST MODEL 2 (congratulations, Leila). Unfortunately, it seems the show has not been renewed.

There was a notice up on the show website that read, in part, "We have some sad news. Unfortunately, AMERICA'S MOST SMARTEST MODEL 2 will not be hitting the runway anytime soon." The notice has been replaced with the usual stuff - season 1 episodes, bios, behind the scenes clips, yadda-yadda, and an ongoing competition similar to the one Leila won in January but without the prize of appearing on season 2. Weird: the show is dead but the promotion lives on.

AMAZING DREAM HOUSE

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 13:40:00 +0000

In the spring of '07 ABC put up a casting notice for AMAZING DREAM HOUSE, a competition between couples offering a new, fully furnished house to the winner. The link to apply linked to an application with a submission deadline of May 4/07.

The network left the notice up till September. When it was finally taken down (neighbors were complaining about the smell) it was replaced by a request for emails from couples who were "getting set to apply." That was removed in mid-November. A December email from VPTV to verify that casting has closed recieved an automated response directing applicants to where? Why, the online application that expired May 4th, of course. Thanks for the runaround, guys.

AMAZING DREAM HOUSE is not on the ABC schedule for the 2008-2009 season. VPTV will update this post if new information becomes available.

The NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND

On December 27/07 The Clark Brothers were named The NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND in what was probably the show's only season. The low-rated premier audience of 3.5 mil was only the beginning. Airing on Friday nights, the worst night of the week for TV viewing by the show's target demographic, NGAB lost viewers weekly, bottoming out with 2 mil for the series finale, which aired Christmas week. They never gave it a chance, which is a shame. Between the Clark Brothers, 2nd place 6 Wire and 3rd place Mile High Band, the series showcased some great music.
