Last weekend was such a great weekend, especially Saturday! My older sister traveled down to Wilmington to come with me to the open casting call of The Amazing Race where we got a whole 60 seconds in front of the camera to say why we should be on the next season!
My sister thought it would be a good idea NOT to plan a script and just “wing it” in front of the camera, only planning a few bullet points to bring up. I on the other hand thought it would be more awesome to write a song and sing it, needless to say she didn’t like that idea. We ended up talking about our relationship as sister and how we get along while bring up where we have traveled together but our main point was how we’ve both been a huge part of Girl Scouts for most of our lives and how we think that would definetly help us win the race! My sister even wore her bear hat (with an attatched scarf and mittens) on camera so we’re hoping that makes us at least a little memorable… though later on in the day we saw a couple wearing full out body suits! They definetly thought ahead! It was a bit nerve wrecking at first to have mikes on and be under huge camera lights with the camera rolling in front of us but after a few seconds we got used to it and started telling our story.
There weren’t as many people at this open casting call as I thought but than again I didn’t see or hear it advertised too much prior to the event. I actually heard of it from a friend who works at the location it was held, so my sister and I had a hand up there.
Even if we don’t make it on the show this season it’s so awesome to say that we had the opportunity to apply and get our name in!!!
My sister wasn’t the only person I brought with me to the audition…
A lady actually walked up to me while I was taking this next photo and asked if this was a Flat Stanley doll… I explained it was the same concept and she preceded to tell me about her son who is in boy scouts and does the same thing. WAY COOL! Love it when this happens!!

If we do get onto the show and we end up “racing around the world” next season I plan to pin Flat Daisy to my bookbag so she gets to travel around with me!



Hey girls that is my favorite show. I sooooo hope you girls make it. If not this season you can try out for the next one!!!!
