Originally posted by whatsonpop: Kelly Clarkson was not under contract when she won AI. That is directly against the rules. She may have signed some sort of contract in the past, but WAS NOT under contract when she won.
According to the news at the time (link) the rules stated that: "You are ineligible if you already have any type of talent representation or a recording contract". So, yes, she was not eligible to be on American idol in the first place.

The latest winner of ANTM did not know Tyra "personally" she attended a camp Tyra sponsors for girls with model aspirations. They were not friends, and never spent any time alone with each other. Many contestants have already modelled prior to being on the show. It's not against the rules.
They were never alone together, just in group setting together. And yes, the rules do state that a cast member cannot have been in a nationally aired TV commercial within the last 2 years, so the winner was not eligible for America's Next Top Model.
Already have a contract means that they are currently under a contract. If it was "had" that would be another story.
And is camp T-Zone still even in place? I haven't heard about it in years.
I tried out for Wheel of Fortune two times. The second time my name was selected out of their hat. I got up on stage and was asked a few questions about myself. I played a mock version of the game with a few other people and I was the one who guessed the answer correctly.
I was not chosen to be on the show. I don't think my personality/excitement came through during the interview. It was my first time speaking into a microphone.
I would love to be on a game show and I may try again the next the wheel mobile comes to town.
I did try out for Millionaire but didn't pass the written test.
I know people who have been on Wheel, Jeopardy and the Price is Right.

Originally posted by xwiseguyx: The screening process for Wheel is pretty much looking more for someone who will have a personality and less who is smart. They have a "written test" and i didn't score that well on it, (but I still won on the show so perhaps the others scored even worse.) They were more interested in how you did in the mock game where you were guessing puzzle letters etc... they wanted to make sure you would keep the game moving.
They pretty much said they want people who are natural and can be a little animated without looking phony. I'm sure DOND has a different set of rules. I think one of them is to look for people who will take more risks.

Even The Price is Right (which grabs contestants right out of the audience) has a screening process. They talk to the members of the audience beforehand, have them fill out questionaires, look them over for boils, etc... If you stammer during the few questions that you are asked while waiting in line for the show, you won't be called on stage. If you instantly convey some 'human interest' story about how you promised your entire hometown (all 12 of them) that you would see a taping of the show while in the big city, you are more likely to get on stage. If you are in the military you are more likely to get on stage. If you have a unique T-shirt that specifically sucks up to the show you are more likely to get on stage. Basically, even though the audience is a small subset of the public, the people chosen to go up and play the game are not chosen randomly. They are chosen for the right look/feel/act/storyline/etc...entertainment value.
Originally posted by mswood: I don't see why they need to have that lie, just for the illusion that teams had a 12 hour Pit Stop (which they didn't it was about 5 hours).
Was it a 5 hour pitstop or a 29 hour pitstop? Some of the pitstops are longer than the show portrays to accomodate the producers setting up the next leg (many of the flight choices are far from 'random' as the show portrays) or to accomodate countries where not much gets done on Sunday (or Saturday).

If there are famous people carrying around demo tapes they produced of your singing and trying to get you a recording contract, then you most definitely are someone that has 'any type of talent representation'.

Could CBS please move Power of 10 out of this time slot? At least get it away from Deal and Idol.
