My name is Danielle Barba. I am a Casting Producer
for ABC's "The Bachelor". We are starting our search
for the Prime time shows next "Bachelor". In the past
we have gone down the doctor, heir, and athlete route.
This time around we are interested in finding an
architect. I would love to get the word out to your
firm and hear from any possible candidates who may be
interested. Would an email blast be possible?
Basically we are searching for a 27-33 year old
single, handsome, successful, charismatic guy who
would like to be whisked away to an exotic, tropical
location dating 25 beautiful girls. Any referrals or
suggestions would be helpful. I would love to give
you more information. Feel free to contact me with
any questions. If any candidates are interested they
can submit the following information - name, age,
occupation, location, contact information, photo and a
small blurb about themselves to dbarbacasting@yahoo.com Hope to hear from you!
nothing against us, but i think this iteration of the show would be completely boring to most of its audience. what would the bachelor and the ladies talk about during those long dates? OMA's Prada stores?
Steven, you called it. I'll add that they also don't know that professional architects barely have time to eat let alone date. Maybe the bachelor can woo his 25 gals via email and phone while he sits at his desk and apologizes for yet another late night of work?
if you take "architect" and replace with "lawyer" the rest of the letter still makes sense... so... i think somone's playing a joke on our profession.

I'm presently in negotiations with a Casting Producer of a new reality show called The Whore. I'm pretty sure it was the over four centuries of partner experience on my resume that got me the title position. For the show, I told them I can already accurately estimate that 25% will be plops, 50% will be average/mediocry, and 25% will be museumpeace.
Actually, i knew someone who used to work on that show. She said it was awful, she was in charge of getting the losers primed to cry on national television.
If there looking for an Architect....they must be looking for a Slacker Architect....When would the guy have time to get his work done. I can see the candidate talking with a client. "Sorry I can't get to your project today cause I'm in makeup, for the Bachlor"
And any self respecting architect would probably just piss and mone durring the entire show about the horrendus McMansion that they put him up in...I know I would.
why didnt he get it....too dirty? If i was single.. i would totally do it. They havent had an architect on one of those series yet. Not that i know of. I can only imagine my demeanor. I would probably be complaining not about the mcmansion (becasue anything is better than my tiny apartment) but about the meat-head douchebags that i have to compete with. Dont get me wrong i cant stand those shows....but for the right price i will sell out to anything.
I did try out for the bachelorette which is a completely different scenario than the bachelor. And I did it as a joke, at least that is how I thought of it since I was signed up by friends! The video interview was total BS.
Also, reality TV is nuts, they have psychologists view your tapes and they eliminate people on a variety of items: posture, mannerism, body language, tone of voice etc.
i am kidding aeaa, you know i only wish i could be as "dirty" as you. unfortunatly you dont get too dirty being married. And either i have too much respect for my marriage, am too big a puss, or too afraid if what wifey would do to me if a became dirty. SNIP!!!!
you may have to refresh my memory...not here though... but i always attempt to be dirty... but the word is ATTEMPT. Thats why i was dubbed "THE MOST FAITHFUL PLAYER"
sign me up

is this a joke?
how important is this "successful" thing you speak of?
we are the sexiest. It's a known fact.
nothing against us, but i think this iteration of the show would be completely boring to most of its audience. what would the bachelor and the ladies talk about during those long dates? OMA's Prada stores?
If an archinecter were to be the Bachelor, I would totally watch it, even though I hate reality TV. It would just be too funny to miss.
guess they don't know about the fact that a lot of 27-33 year old "architects" have to put "intern" before that architect title!
Steven, you called it. I'll add that they also don't know that professional architects barely have time to eat let alone date. Maybe the bachelor can woo his 25 gals via email and phone while he sits at his desk and apologizes for yet another late night of work?
interesting coincidence:

Lucky me, I suppose.
I've been asked to do worse. For money.
MDLER--how much will we be paid for working overtime (i.e after 6:30 pm ) and on weekends.
So is mdler finally gonna get him a girl?
Actually, i knew someone who used to work on that show. She said it was awful, she was in charge of getting the losers primed to cry on national television.
yea....and i hope theres no timesheet filling business .
