Sports Illustrated Auditions

Sports Illustrated auditions for their new reality show.
Don’t even know what the show is called.
Something about finding the next SI swimsuit model.
Talked with a few casting directors, met a guy named Zach Johnson who has cast various NBC reality shows.
In the actual audition, which we just walked right in to, I would not have thought twice if a tumbleweed bounced on by us during our brief stint there.
This audition was dead.
Worse, actually.
The audition was haunted by the staff that was zombie-fied by lack of anything to do.
It stands to reason that we, a mere three people, called a lot of attention to ourselves.
So much so that a production manager, or maybe she was a producer from the Production company, don’t know for sure, but comes up to us and starts giving us a hard time.
“Who are you?”
“We’re a documentary film crew (blah, blah). I spoke with ******* and he gave us permission to be here.
“And who is ********.”
Had to laugh at this one.
“He would be your boss. The executive producer of your show.”
The name registered nothing on her face.
“Hold on,” she said with a raised index finger.
She turned.
She walked away.
She never came back.
Wasn’t much to shoot anyway...
We hung around for a bit longer but, alas, nothing...
