Indianapolis, IN

Everyone swooned over Rupert when he won–he was “America’s Choice”. And–he is from Indianapolis? So, you think you have what it takes to do what Rupert did? Well–here’s your chance.

On Thursday, July 12, in Greenwood’s Ashley Furniture, you can come and “try out” for the show! You will need to have the basic forms of identification, show that you are in physical and mental condition that is conducive to the show (although I would argue after seeing some of them that both of these things aren’t looked at entirely too closely), and then you’ll be able to show your “stuff” for two minutes. All of the tapes of the two-minute interludes will be forwarded on to producers of the show who will be able to select and whittle down the bunch for the next round.

If you are going to the tryout, what are you going to do for your two minutes? It’s hard telling what they are exactly looking for, this isn’t exactly American Idol where you have to be able to sing or any of the other reality shows where it takes a special “niche” in order to score. Will you go in and juggle for them? Put on your best one-man comedy show? Try to act all cool and aloof? Let them in on how you can scheme with the best of them? Just basically be yourself and see what happens from there?

It’s definitely something to think about, but I would think that from being an avid watcher of the show, that they are looking for average, even-keeled people who can talk about things at a given time, be social on a somewhat larger scale, and have a personality that is endearing to the American public. Obviously, you look at someone like Rupert and stereotypically would go–no way, this guy’s never going to make it–and then when you watch the show, you see how and why he was able to do it–so, come on Indy, show ‘em your stuff!!!!
