I know Kenny applied for what it's worth, since there was an interview someone on SWF did with him where they asked and stuff. I read somewhere though that
Charlie was one of those weird cases of people who "are actually big fans of the show but happen to get recruited before they could apply", since
apparently Charlie's a big fan anyway, so it's almost a 9-9 ratio.

From what I've heard, Eliza got Charlie recruited knowing he was a humongous fan of the show. So yeah, she got him before he had the chance to apply.
I also know that for Crystal was actually a finalist for Micronesia but was cut when they brought back favorites. |

To get into details on the Gabon recruiting...
Michelle was found on the Santa Monica steps during a workout. 
Eliza was asked if she had any friends in law who were fans of the game--and that's when she gave them Charlie's name. Marcus was recruited after being found in Cosmo as "America's Most Eligible Bachelor 2006" or something along those lines.
Kelly was recruited through MySpace after a casting assistant saw her thumbnail photo and thought she "looked cute".
Bob was found after casting asked Julie Berry if she knew possible candidates and she mentioned him, a physics teacher from her high school. I'm not 100% certain on how the others were recruited--but the recruiting process basically comes down to being in or around Santa Monica/Los Angeles and knowing former contestants on a personal level. |

Although, for applicants' chances, recruiting sucks--you have to take into account the fact that although applicants bring some big characters to the
table, i.e. Randy, Crystal, recruiting brings some in as well, i.e. Corinne, Sugar, and both processes bring in the absolutely useless characters---i.e.
Spencer (applicant worthy of
x10,000) and Mary Sartain (S16).

Bob was found after casting asked Julie Berry if she knew possible candidates and she mentioned him, a physics teacher from her high school.They didn't ask Julie. One of the casting associates was friends with members of Bob's family and that's how they recruited him. It was a coincidence that he was Julie's high school teacher. |

Yeah I wasn't 100% on that either--thanks for the correction.

Who wants to be a Millionaire has been on longer than Survivor and is still going strong, albeit in syndication. There's nothing that says when the day
comes that Survivor is no longer on CBS, it couldn't still be a good syndicated show. Still, I think Survivor has several good years left on primetime TV.

Survivor is safe for a long while I really don't see CBS letting it go it is still the highest rated show on the biggest night of the week what I would
like to see for one season is Survivor on 3 nights a week ala Big Brother if that shit factory can stay a float three nights a week Survivor can

I've met Spencer, he is a sweetheart. I really like him. In fact he is dating Todd Hertz, who is also a wonderful yougn man. I find them both to be very kind and generous people. I like to watch TAR. I seriously have no time to watch much TV. I try to tape what I really want to watch. I watched BB way back season one, but since then
have not watched it, just no time. I swear I can't sit in front of a TV for long. I actually applied for BB, oh shoot 5 years ago. I can't remember. I
would do it if they ever called me. TAR is the game I would like to play espceially with my husband. I love my husband, but he can always use a shot of reality
to put him back to remembering what he has and who he is.

Michelle has said openly that she doesn't know Parvati, and that she had nothing to do with her getting cast for the show. She was found during a workout
in Santa Monica.

I'm sure she was told not to tell that she knew anybody from previous cast. I mean how can you not know Parvati when they are in the same organization? It's a small organization too. Think about it. If you're a chairman of an organization, you'd know your secretary, at least by name. Same thing as Charlie, he never told people he knew Eliza. He always told some other way of getting recruited. |

S20 will be the possible final season of the series, there will be no S21.

False. CBS has no plans on canceling the series and neither does Mark Burnett--especially now that his two new shows have tanked. If you have evidence to back
up your statement, I suggest you post it.
