This morning on WDEF News 12 This Morning, I talked with "Survivor" host Jeff Probst. We covered several topics, including Thursday's episode, Sunday's finale, and a special "Survivor" event coming to the Tennessee Valley. You can see the interview here, or watch WDEF News 12 at Noon for more details.
Here's how it works! In order to audition you must be 21 years of age or older at the time of the application. Applications will be made available for downloading right here on WDEF.com very soon so check back as it's strongly recommended that you fill out your application ahead of time and bring it with you to the Survivor Tent at Riverbend. Applications will also be made available on-site. Come to the WDEF News 12 Tent prepared to audition between 6:00PM-9:00PM nightly. Opportunities to audition are not guaranteed and time slots are going to be available on a first come first serve basis. In front of a WDEF News 12 camera and producer, contestants will be asked to talk up to 2 minutes about why they should be chosen to compete on Survivor! Each contestant will be timed and stopped at 2 minutes. Keep this in mind...Survivor producers watching the audition tapes will be looking for the following traits: strong-willed, outgoing, adventurous, physically and mentally adept, and adaptable to new environments and can demonstrate interesting liseftyles, backgrounds and personalities. WDEF News 12 will be working in cooperation with CBS and Survivor to send tapes of the casting call along with applications to be viewed by the show producers. Some will be invited to NEXT LEVEL interviews if their audition catches the eye and interest of show producers. Only those selected for NEXT LEVEL interviews by CBS will be contacted.

Thank you for putting the interview on here so that I could check it out! I am a true 'Survivor' fan! I hope that my son will try out for it because he has a very outgoing personality and it would be quite an adventure for him! You did a great job interviewing by the way! Must have been a lot of fun!
Thanks again! Sharon

My wife has gotten several phone calls from friends telling her I would be perfect to be on Survivor. I've been hiking in the Indonesian jungle on the island of New Guineawhen I was 17-18. Got stranded in the middle of a raging river there and saved by natives. I'm looking forward to doing an interview tape to try my luck. Also I do land surveying for my proffession, so I am very at home in the outdoors. I hope I get the chance to interview for the show.

Applied 7 times!
This sounds exciting! I have applied to SURVIVOR 7 times and would do just about anything for a chance to be seen. I am not one who likes to rough it but the challenge of SURVIVOR is what intrigues me. I have even gone as far as having Lasik eye surgery in April in hopes that I will get picked. I knew that I would not be able to wear contacts or glasses and be able to compete in water challenges. I am all about SURVIVOR and anyone that knows me will tell you the same thing. My high school students are my biggest fans. They even helped me make one of my audition tapes last year. I hope this will be it for me!!
