The restaurant confirms the date and time and the "amazing Race Casting".
I like this, hopefully it is the first of many. If so, then the apps should be out soon.
As I have said, there is a lot of smoke though about TAR 18 not being a "typical" race... so I don't know if/how that could affect casting...if at all.
And my overall impression the last several seasons is that there has been a more open appilcation window...more ongoing. And of course, more recruited teams. :groan:
I hope someone can go to this?? Should be interesting. I would feel more confident if this was a major casting opp with a CBS rep there...

Thinking outside the box, maybe be S18 is a "specialty" season (not necessarily All-Stars) so maybe they're looking for contestants with a certain profile (think ANTM 13 where they cast only 5'7" or shorter models), or maybe the auditions are undercover.

Man, if I didn't have to be on the other side of the state that day, I'd be all over that. :(

I personally think there's going to be a very short application period for TAR 18; like maybe 10-12 days at most. Casting has done that before, and as I recall, it's turns out that team form the newer season were finalists the previous season, so there's a logic to it. (Replenish the finalist pool for the fitire.) I keep having this feeling that Lynn Spielman and company have a strong leftover pool from TAR 17, and rhey're not too concerned about new applications right now.
Now, that's just a gut feeling. I've seen press releases for casting the new dancing series for CBS that Paula Abdul is executive producing, and I suspect casting is getting that one done first before TAR 18.
If the rumors (plus Allison Groesner's interview last week) are correct with Jeff Schroeder heading towards LA for a night as part of his ongoing Around The World For Free season, that would be a hook for CBS to use not only for ATWFF, but for a TAR 18 casting promo. It wouldn't be the first time TAR xasting has used BB airtime for a promo or two, and given the way CBS thinks a lot of the time, it is the sort of thing CBS would do.

From what I have read, casting for the dance show will take a few months and is in the preliminary stages. Are Spillman and co. responsible for casting this show? It seems more like an American Idol type of show where they are just trying to find the most talented person.

If a post on facebook/amazing race discussion/ casting 18 is correct, then casting is almost completed. A girl named Courtney said that she has been called in to see the producers and she, and I guess her teammate are number 15 in ranking. She hopes to make one of the 11 teams. Of course, she could be just whistling Dixie. Time will tell. Can you snoop this one out Peach?
