Shake and rattle your rolls, it's time to boogie....
Um...."Drop the Ho-Ho's and do the Hustle" & "Shake and rattle your rolls"?....whooo.....that's REAL close to being insulting....
Well, this leaves ME out....I live in New York and lol....my poor knees are shot to hell...but I know a LOT of my curvy divas have phenomenal moves on the dance floor.....
This should be interesting. I totally understand the need for folks to be healthy....and if you have fun doing it...that's even better! I just wish that someone would come up with a show with a plus sized premise that DOESN'T always involve losing weight.
This particular casting is in LA....if any of you guys decide to check it out...please hit me up with a comment here or email me at Origrunwaydiva@aol.com and let me know how it goes and how you were treated.

I am not going to the open auditions, as I live in Oklahoma, but I did send in a video. I have been treated very well, I even got a call from a casting person after I applied to discuss what the tape needed. I am VERY excited about it. dontneedaspaceship@yahoo.com
I went to the open auditions and had a great time. We were all treated very well and the casting people were really nice. I didn't feel like we were being looked at as spectacles but as people who really want to make a change in their lives but also have fun while you're doing it. I was called in to do a more in depth interview after I danced(everyone wasn't called back). So hopefully by Dec. 8th I get a call back to do even more interviews and from there they decide on the final cast. But I will say this, I was very surprised there were not more people there to try out. I go there at 1:30 and there were about 30 people there at that time. But casting was from 11am-6pm, so there were probably lots more I didn't see. All in all it was a fun day for me.
I also got a call back and sent in a second video. About 2 days later I was called and told to keep a few days open to meet the producers. I am so EXCITED! This can really change my life and that of my family.
I was wondering if anyone knew what the contestants were playing for. Obviously weight loss but is there a prize? When are they going to announce the cast?
Are there any updates. Did Lauren and anonymous get picked or meet with the producers? Did they say when the contestants would get picked?
I am sure the contestants have already been picked. They said back in November that they were going to start filming at the end of this month.
i read your blog and somehow I missed this...awwww...
I'm so excited for this! I've been on the road since October 08 and missed this completely. When is casting for season 2. I live to dance and need a change. Life on the road and falling in love was not kind to my weight.
I am dying to find out when the next set of open auditions are...anyone have an idea of when that might be? If you have any info at all, that would be great. Thanks everyone!
Open calls are going on during the month of December.
