Title: How many applicants were there?
Post by: dp33 on August 05, 2005, 04:16:06 PM: Just curious,
Does anybody know how many teams auditioned in person and/or via sending in a tape?

I have a friend who wants to know how much competition she's up against >*&

Send your friend over here, we would love to have him/her post!!!

Of these final teams, 11 were selected to begin the race in Chicago. Not very good odds even if you make it to the final selection process!!!
