Biggest Loser Casting Call- The experience!

Today, my friend Amy and I went to The Biggest Loser Casting Call Season 12 in Salt Lake City. I just thought I would share our experience while it is fresh! It wasn't very busy. They said that they were almost to 500 people seen in the normal line and that they had 200 VIP passes that also were handed out. We had numbers 79 and 80 on our VIP applications.

So, we got to the venue around 12, walked in, showed our VIP pass and they handed us an application. We filled them out and then they asked who was ready to go back so Amy said, "We are, there are two of us!" so they took us back with a group of 12.

Then we waited in a group line for around 20 minutes where they told us what to expect, when callbacks were being made, when video submissions were due, etc... We met some nice people who were in our group and we both were feeling really confident and excited to have this opportunity.

They called us in, we sat down, and a lady in the room had a 7 minute timer to keep the ball rolling. Our casting directors name was Kerry and she was such a nice and lovely person. She asked questions and made sure we all had a chance to answer.

First she asked our name, age, weight and what we do. Then she asked where we liked to eat, a guilty pleasure, Amy and I both said In-n-out, why did it have to come to Utah, a block away! Then she asked what was something unique that she wouldn't know from looking at us. I said I was an Archer, that I shoot a bow. She really liked that and asked if I had gone hunting and I said that was one of my goals, to go on the bow hunt. Then she asked us what the first thing we would do once we lost the weight and I said Climb outside with my husband, I like to climb inside, I am scared to climb outside with him.

Our time was up and she said thanks and had us leave our applications on our chairs, we said thanks to her and that was it!

They will be doing callbacks until 8:00 pm tonight. We both felt great about how it went. We think there is a good chance we will get a call back. If we don't, we are still doing a video and sending it in.

Overall, this was a really fun experience and I am so glad Amy asked me to go with her. It was fun, we went to lunch after and now we are anxiously awaiting!
