My bet is that the lack of a passport indicates non-100% commitment.

Or fake the proof of application.
Scan the filled out passport form and attach that as proof. If you beat the odds and they call you, then hustle it through |

Now that would be dishonest and we all know there's no room for dishonest people on Survivor
haha.

Cuon I don't think I realized until season 11 that the number next to you name was changing and that it was for see you on season ....
Once I got it I was like that is so obvious. |

If you want to work around paying the $100 but still make it look like you're doing it, download the passport forms and fill them out, then send them a copy of those. Keep in mind though that some people are selected with a very short window to
leave, and passport processing times can take awhile.

You can get your passport expedited for roughly $200 and a series of heart attacks waiting for it to get back to you in time. That's expediting the
process, and using fed-ex to get it there, and including the pre-paid fed-ex envelope for getting it back to you. Like if you find out right before you leave
the country that your BABY needs a passport because of 9/11 and you're like "What, but we're leaving in 10 days, and who's going to recognize
a BABY in a passport photo, and how do you get a passport photo of a BABY without including your own arms or letting the BABY fall off the chair and $%&^#
why didn't I know this?!"
I'm just sayin'.

That got a chuckle out of me chas... I could see myself doing that, I'm a walking disaster..
Anyway, I am just not feeling this application. Can't find it in me to get motivated to do ANOTHER application and ANOTHER video. Maybe after Christmas the bug will bite but I just want to do the damn show, am so sick of this anticipation bullshit... Just send me the damn airplane ticket already!!!

ms claus,
I must say that I agree, except I'm sick of the stupid questions repeated over and over again in season after season of applications. I just wish one of two things: #1. They'd call me based on my past applications...or #2. They'd tell me to stop sending in apps. I'd be content with either scenario.

Then on top of that the Survivor clock is ticking. I have been told time and time again what I should do and for the love of God I just can't nail it. I am so sick of failure. Then I find out we are really only going up against about 10 to 15 thousand other apps. Monkey balls!!! This stinks. Yes I know I am being a cry baby.

SixTeen: You are not being a cry baby - it is called frustration! And believe me, many people here know how you feel!
If you want to get on Survivor - you must complete the packet. So do this: Pick a time when you are alone and in a good mood. Go to a well lighted area (without too many distractions in the background - so they can SEE YOUR FACE) and just start talking about yourself: what you like, what you love, and what you hate. Do it all in one take - and called it DONE! Just do it and let them decide. Good Luck

I have applied so many times, I've lost count. After my close call with Survivor 6, the Amazon, I applied a number more times with nary a word. I really
do believe I've been blackballed. Then, after not applying at all for a couple of seasons, I really felt like I had to apply last time. I went through
HELL trying to make a video and get it to them. For the life of me, I couldn't transfer the video I had edited from my computer to anything!!! I was so
frustrated, but I was determined. I had a feeling they were finally going to say, "why the hell haven't we called her back?", but no, I
didn't hear a peep. I'm definitely not going through that again! I just can't answer any more of those fucking questions! SEG has no idea what a
gold mine they would have in me because I act and think from emotion without much thought. It would definitely lead to some interesting situations! I always
find myself in these interesting situations. Never a boring moment. I'm afraid I could never fly under the radar. Oh well, their loss! Good luck to all
who apply!

I'm stumped on my video. The batteries for my old camcorder dont hold a charge longer than a few minutes. I dont see the point in buying new ones because
its so old and I dont have the money to spend right now. That means I would need to stay close to a power outlet to do any taping. My car has a 115 volt ac
plug in the back seat for accessories but I don't like the idea of filming in the car. I could drive somewhere and film with the camera inside the car and
me on the outside but its so darn cold outside. No global warming yet. My camera is an 8 mm camera but I can't transfer video to the VHS player because it
won't record anymore. The camcorder doesnt have a digital connection so I don't know how to transfer video into the computer. I dont think I have the
right hardware to make that happen. I just don't know what to do. Could I just send in an audio recording on a CD? Maybe I could make it a slide show with
pictures but they might not like that. I know I'll send in the audio CD and a three dimensional plaster cast of my face. That should do the trick!

Thats not a bad idea. I have some casting material in my art supplies but I'm not sure if I can keep my stick, shall we say, rigid for long enough so the
cast can set properly. It would make a marvelous immunity idol hanging around my neck in a video and it would be obvious I'm not a true pygmy islander.
I'll get back to you on this.

Rythm - in the past, when I didn't have a workable camcorder and couldn't afford a new one (to keep), I bought one anyway, filmed my video, transferred
it to tape, then returned the camera to the store for a refund. That was in the days before the standard 15% restocking fee, or maybe it was from WalMart who
didn't have one at the time. Just an idea.

Rythm Stick and anyone else who may be having a tough time with the video transfering to VHS .. I know times might be tough.. but if you have any issues with a
camera, I suggest you look at a Flip video camera.. You can use the flip to film your video, then burn it to a DVD.. and if you have a VCR then just hook the
to together and you have your tape. The cool thing about the flip is you can also film the entire thing, edit it with software on the camera and then play it
back via a VHS player. Take a look if you are interested
