------------------------- Mark Burnett: "The way I see it, we need to find people who are wild, a little out there, kooky even. But no psychopaths. Our insurance won't cover a nut case." "Casting this thing is friggin' awful. People have to want to sleep with our cast, you know. But they have to identify with 'em, too, so they can't all look like bloody Julia Roberts. There has to be some Alan Alda." "This one's gonna be good. I interviewed her already. She's smart, sexy, tough, a Stanford law grad. And she's a mess, too, lots of mother issues. She'll be great." http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0007/story.html Lynne Spillman: "You need to have a back story. You need to make sure they're interesting, dynamic people who give substance to the show." "it's not all jocks. It's more about relating and getting along with the people than it is winning an athletic event." "By the time we had them picked we knew everything about them, every single thing," http://www2.jsonline.com/enter/tvradio/aug00/spill17081600.asp Spillman won't talk about the interview process but says it's not what you'd expect. She notices all the details and looks for people who are "articulate, competitive, passionate" -- like Nicole Delma, right, from this season's show in the Pearl Islands. Consistency matters, Spillman says: "Someone might send a really funny tape, but their application is boring." http://www.usaweekend.com/03_issues/031026/031026whosnews.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Larson is my hero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A rare photo of the elusive Borneo "Giant Q-Tip" Aborigines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSS feed stuff.
