TBL Casting Call

For those of you brave enough to let Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper kick your ass around the gym while America judges from its couches, The Biggest Loser is now casting for season 8. Details in the linky. I personally won't be trying out because

1. I don't think I'd make a very compelling story;
2. I doubt I'd be what they want for TV personality;
3. I'm not in a position to just stop school during my final semester of graduate work and be on a TV show for a few months; and
4. I've kinda shot myself in the foot by already losing this much anyhow. This season's casting (in comparison with the past couple) clearly demonstrates that the producers are looking for people with much more extremely dire need to lose weight.

That said, if any of you out there are struggling with this weight loss business and want to share your story with a national audience, by all means, give it a shot. Be aware, though, that the past 2 casting calls have drawn more than half a million applicants each.

Good luck! I'll be watchin for ya!
