I'm gonna be on TV - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ems · 03-26-2005, 07:37 PM

About 2-3 months ago, my friends and I were approached by two MTV recruiters. They asked us if we'd audition for an upcoming dating show called 'Next.' We all reluctantly went, partly because it was our Winter break and we didnt have anything better to do. From that audition, I made the cut.

A week or two later, the harrassment from MTV casting began. I kept ignoring it, because I had no interest in doing some stupid dating show. Day in, day out, they would call me at least 3 times -- talk about harassment haha.

After weeks of this, I finally gave in, 2 days before the scheduled shooting date, and signed the participation agreement.

Days later, they taped the episode around the Hollywood/ Los Feliz/ Pasadena area here in SoCal

I got word yesterday that it will be airing Friday April 8th, at 4:30pm PST and EST

A few things about the show: some of the lines were fed to me, and that sucked. People who know me will find it really easy to notice what lines are real and what lines are fed.

There are some corny ass 'compliments' i had to feed to the lady, so thats gonna come out extremely lame --- but i hardly give a shit heh

these are the guys i was competing against:

in wearing the striped shirt, second from the right

I gotta admit, Im anxious and excited to see how big of a jackass im gonna look like

You didn't tell us what this gameshow is about.

Do you know? I'm curious to see what it's like... but I don't really want to wait that long :-P

Well im not reall supposed to talk about it

mtv describes it as a "speed dating" show. Myself and 4 other guys [shown above] were competing for one girl

liquidlight · 03-28-2005, 03:57 PM

I hope you enjoyed the experience!

And aren't we all surprised, MTV is doing another show that has literally nothing to do with music! (unless the contestants are band members?)

That said, I still plan on watching it just so I can be part of the discussion after it airs

ah ha! proof! i knew mtv feeds their cast those crappy lines! i knew it!

this fills me with a joy which cannot be expressed..

anyhow.. congrats on being selected :P i'll have to watch the show and see how you did

then you can tell us how much they edited out

doodlebird · 03-28-2005, 11:10 PM

dude, that's baaaaaddddasssss (i think that's what they say in hollyworld, right?)

i can't wait to watch the show, even though i haven't watched MTV since kevin smith hosted 120 minutes. perhaps i'm not the target any longer.

congrats!

FlunkedFlank · 03-28-2005, 11:23 PM

this is interesting, and I'll watch if I remember to ... but nothing ... and I repeat N O T H I N G ... will ever match the sublime heights of Elimidate.

(you probably think I'm kidding. heck, *I* wish I was kidding.)

03-29-2005, 02:37 AM

Its always so obvious that the lines people say on these type of programmes are scripted , didnt need to have anyone admit it to know that.

But its going to be cool to watch it and 'know' one of the guys involved. Hope you won

jwoody · 03-29-2005, 02:51 AM

Let's just cut to the chase here...

Did you fuck her?

Did you get paid for it?

SpikeQX99 · 03-29-2005, 07:53 PM

certainly an interesting crowd they put you up against.. What's up with the dude in the back on the left? He looks pretty happy that ANYONE is taking his pic!!

Well, hopefully you did good and "got the girl".. I guess.

I'll stay tuned

I think that's our music connection with MTV. He's that fellow who lost to Kelly Clarkson in the first Idol

sgn43 · 03-30-2005, 01:27 AM

ahhh....I'm so proud that my friend is part of the machine that is MTV, and is helping in the bastardizing of the concept of courtship.

I'm so proud that I almost want to cry.

Actually, I have to admit it didn't cross my mind until now..I always thought the people they picked to be on those shows were complete d---wads

you couldn't be more correct

Cynthetiq · 03-31-2005, 03:32 PM

I'll have to try to get the footage that didn't make it to air...

ems · 04-05-2005, 01:07 AM

Ok, its 2am tuesday morning here in LA, and I just saw a re-run of the first episode [which aired monday at 4:30pm]

what a fucking horrible show hahaha. first of all, i'm only going to be on for 15 minutes, and not the entire 30 [they do two sets per episode], and im so thankful for that.

The fed lines that some of these guys said sounded so ridiculous, so mine are gonna sound as pathetic

haha all in all, i really dont care though, im looking forward to seeing it air this friday

sgn43 · 04-08-2005, 04:24 PM

haha. man oh man, that show was awful. so awful that I'm definitely going to catch the replay tonight at 1:30.

a few of the guys from EF ripped it onto PC

d3cemberist · 04-08-2005, 05:40 PM

Congrats! I dont think I would ever be able to be on TV. I would get too nervous. Hehe.

Halx · 04-08-2005, 05:48 PM

I knew there was a reason to get a DVR.

hal, would you mind if i upload the show and post a link?

i mean, it is copyrighted material, and im not sure what the TFP policies on distribution is...

Halx · 04-08-2005, 09:24 PM

If you host it.. I don't see a problem.

hahah very cool! hopefully i'll have it up by tomorrow night

its 200+ megs, but a few forum buddies of mine are working on cutting them out and compressing the file; so yea, hopefully by tomorrow night

sgn43 · 04-09-2005, 12:17 AM

oh man, for all the TFPers who didn't catch it...it's very much worth the watch despite being a steaming pile of MTV bullshit. Eric's one-liners in the show are well worth the watch.

n0nsensical · 04-09-2005, 01:10 AM

Crap! I forgot all about it (again). I missed the first showing by an hour too. Looking forward to the DL. All us LA folks should have had a premiere party.

Grancey · 04-09-2005, 05:19 AM

So, do you really model underwear for Macy's? You came across well on television. Great job. I could see you in a Gap or Old Navy ad.

hahahaha thank you

but yea, the macy's line and the "mugged 4 times" stats were totally made up -- i had no idea mtv would do it, but it was pretty funny stuff
