Being casted for race after being on another show?
« on: April 11, 2012, 03:47:48 PM »
It's my dream to be on the amazing race but an opportunity came up where I might be on a reality show assisting my boss (it's a competition show and I wouldn't have much airtime at all but I would probably be seen a couple times in the episode).

It's not on CBS and I'm scared this would wreck my chance of ever being on the race. Is this a stupid fear, have other contestants been on non-CBS shows before?

What is that old saying? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I say go for it while you have this opportunity!

Don't you have a better chance of being casted if you've been on another reality show?

But it has to be a CBS show and ryan could appear in another network.

BB contestants have crossed over.

I think some TAR contestants may have done FF??

I don't know what to tell you. If they want you badly enough it prob would not matter unless it was porn or something, lol. But that is a GUESS.

Good luck!!

I don't really know much about appearing on TV, but I think the only way you can know for sure is to see the contract or something of the link for the show you'd be appearing on.

Undercover Boss? Or one of those TLC type shows.

He said it was not on CBS, so probably not Undercover Boss. :)

If its a show on what you in the US call cable , then it shouldnt be a problim but if its a show on one of the other big networks then ir might be a problim.

The bottom line is we don't know...anything else is speculation. Good luck to you!
