petermarcusSo I'm driving in to work this morning, and the morning show jocks are interviewing a Fox casting director who is in town casting for a new Fox reality show. This guy cast the folks on Paradise Hotel, Temptation Island, and the other Fox reality shows. This is what they're looking for: Divorced men, 24-44, no kids (or kids have to be over 18), divorce within 5 years, reasonably photogenic.
The casting guy wouldn't say what the show was about, just that there was a "large cash payoff" to whoever won. The jocks mentioned it was probably difficult finding young recently divorced guys with no kids and the dude said, "Welcome to my hell."
The thing is, they are looking for me (assuming I'm "reasonably photogenic"). Except I wouldn't want to be on a reality show if you held a gun to my head. Still, it made me wonder what it would be like, in one of those wavy-lines Wayne's World kind of fantasies.
This is Fox, though, so they'd probably spring my ex on me at some embarrassing moment.
I know there are a lot of reality show fans out there...do you just like to watch, or would you want to be on one?

I had a boyfriend once back in early '96 who I had known years prior and we had sorta hooked up after having lost touch for years and he thought we should go on Jenny Jones or some such shit and I was like NO WAY. We lasted less than 2 months. LOL.
