Survivor Auditions Fort Worth

Brian and I made a quick trip to Fort Worth to try out for Survivor. CBS 11 held the auditions at Bankston Ford-Mazda. It started at 10am but we didn't get there until just after 1. We were in and out in 20 minutes. I was told the audition this year was nothing like the size of the Terrell try out in January.


This was taken with my phone.

The Terrell Tigers made it to the finals of their own tournament but lost in the finals to Dallas ISD school Carter.

Stanley Ballard Sr, Christmas Parade

This Saturday at 10AM is the Stanley Ballard Sr. Christmas Parade. This years theme is “A Red, White and Blue Christmas.”

Below is an entry from last years parade.
It wasn't snowing, that's from the float.


Also on Saturday, CBS TV 11 will host a Survivor open casting call at Bankston Ford-Mazda in Fort Worth. It runs till 3PM. I will make it on one of these shows one day.

The rest of the Survivor tryout photos

I feel much better after getting a nights rest. Yesterday didn't tire me out so much as when I was finished we went and ate at a Chinese buffet. Eating tired me out.

My first picture is Jennifer #400. She was right behind me in line. After we made our way through the line and in the door we saw that you had to get up and speak to the camera in front a room of would-be contestants. There were some that got to give their spiel in another room with just a camera person and an assistant. I was lucky enough to be able to give my speech in the smaller room. Watching others get up and speak you could see how nervous they were, I am sure I came across the same way. Jennifer, did very well, she looked comfortable. She also left me a comment on yesterdays post.


Here are the pictures leading up to getting in front of the camera.

You could see some people came prepared for the wait. They must have done this before. Can you tell the temperature got up to 82ºF today?


As we got to the front of the line, we were handed numbers.


Dallas area radio station Movin 107.5 was there giving away prizes. I correctly answered three trivia questions and won a Movin 107.5 t-shirt.


Once we made it inside we finally got to take a seat and wait our turn. Not much pressure here, right?


This guy wasn't nervous at all.

Now we wait to see if we get called back sometime in March.

I had a great time and if I don't make it this time, there is always Big Brother and Amazing Race and then the next edition of Survivor.

Thanks to CBS11TV, Movin 107.5 and Randall Noe for bringing this out to Terrell. I hope all 500 people spent a little bit of money here. :-)

BTW, my fortune cookie said "You will take a chance in the near future, and win."

Survivor tryouts Terrell, Texas

Today was the Survivor casting call put on by CBS 11 TV at Randall Noe in Terrell. I ended up waiting in line from 11:00 till 2:30. Here are a few pictures, I will post more tomorrow and let you know what it was like. I am bushed.

Here is a hopeful couple having fun while waiting in line.

The line started at the building in the middle of the pic, came down the right side curved around and went back up the left side. They handed out numbers as you go close to the door. I was number 398. When I left there were on 447 and there were probably another hundred who were still in line.

I seem to be in a bird watching phase. These birds are landing on the County Courthouse in Randolph County, Arkansas.

I have tried out and sent in tapes before and now I get to try out in my hometown. How cool is that? I AM NOT A GEEK! Think y'all can live without me for a few months?
