Would you be a contestant on a reality show?
Any one of them?

Which one or ones would you want to be a contestant?

If they ever do a special "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", with a gay man being made over...I'm THERE!

2. I'd LOVE it
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 02:58 PM by Kamika
I would have loved something like Big Brother, survivor would be ok but I'm too small to actually last.

Joe Millionair would be cool too

Oh man I would create some drama hehe

3. No...here's why
Because the kind of people that would be on the show with me, are the kind of people that go on reality shows...I'd kill them all.

4. Maybe Boy Meets Boy...
but now that I know the show's gimmick, I'd have a better chance of winning.

21. You're Viewing An OLD IMAGE That's Stored In Your Cache...
Click "Refresh" or press Shift-F5 or hold Shift while clicking Refresh....

That should make his colors come back.

5. If it wasn't for the fact
that I am 50 with a few medical problems I would try for Survivor in a minute. I am tough as nails, can figure a way to do anything and could survive very easily. That being said, I would have a very hard time being devious and playing the mind game part. The rest, no problem, I think it would be fun.

6. Back before I was disabled
I'd have loved to be on Survivor.

I've thought about heading up to LA and trying out for a few game shows, particularly Jeopardy.

I don't have any interest in the other reality tv shows, but don't have any problem with their existence at all.

11. Go for Jeopardy!
Maybe we'll be on the same show. ;)

I'm trying to convince my nephew to audition. He's rather socially arrested, though, so I'm not sure how he'd handle it. (19 years old today.) But he kicks everyone's ass while watching it on TV.

13. Jeopardy With Snakes and Spiders
Every question YOU answer correctly causes a snake (or spider or other poisonous insect) to be dropped into your opponents' glass cage.

Last contestant alive, wins. Or the contestant with the fewest bites, wins.

HOW EXCITING!

19. I Have Every Confidence In The World That You Would Win
... that you would, uh... "survive"??

Enhhh! On second-thought, perhaps it's not such a good idea after all.

Never mind.

7. Maybe one of those shows where they take a guy and throw women at him.
That would be cool. Maybe a Joe Millionaire type thing, where they take a guy with no money and set him up with women. I could do that.

I've done worse things for a date.

9. Nope.
My life's real enough as it is. Pick any "Survivor" -- those wussies wouldn't bear up under this for three minutes.

15. Hey, good luck!
I hope you and your wife can be contestants!

Let us know, ok? That would be cool for a DU'er to be on "The Amazing Race"! :-)

14. Never. Ever.
I watch a few of the shows but I wouldn't want to be on one. I have no interest in being "famous" or being on television.

16. I tried out for "Dream Job" on ESPN
It was kinda fun. I'm sorta glad they didn't call me back cause I'm insulin dependent now. I don't think it would be too fun watching somebody poke needles in himself on TV.
