Tontine Love

Huge thanks to Jen and Marin for hopping right on the bandwagon to get the word out about my Tontine audition! Between them and my buds at KH I was getting tons of views, comments and positive ratings at youtube despite my dismal video. Unfortunately, I don’t think all the knitters in bloglandia and all my good friends (some of them even say they’re my personal “fans” ) would be enough to counteract an uncreative video. So I deleted it (and I’m so glad I did…a couple of others have them up now and they’re hysterical…but don’t go look or vote!) It just wasn’t me…I couldn’t figure out how best to get my personality and attitude on tape without involving other people. It’s one thing getting your friends together for a video when your in your 20s…but quite another when you and your friends are 30 and 40 something.

I should have gone with my initial inclination that Tad and Rob got a good sense of what I’m about at the audition even thought I totally forgot what was actually the most “outrageous thing” I’ve ever done…which would be going on a golf trip to Scotland with 10 guys while my husband stayed home. Never would have guessed that one, would you? I really am perfect for the show and I hope I haven’t lost my chance yet. I’ve been obsessed with the idea of being on the show ever since the audition even though I realize the chances are slim to none. I don’t know what has happened to me. I’m not sure if it’s more being overcome with greed (how could you not be for 10 million…but really I would just love for Jim to be able to retire so he can focus on his health) or enthralled with the idea of visiting all 7 continents and having the experiences of a lifetime? How do they possibly decide who would be the best on the basis of a 10 minute interview? I don’t envy that job. Obviously Tad must be good at it since he’s produced some hits over the last couple of years. If anyone associated with Tontine happens to see this…PICK ME. You won’t be sorry. I can promise you that.
