Calling all casts

A couple casting calls have gone out for new game shows previously noted on this blog.

The CW is looking for "thrill-seeking daredevils" to play a devilish game of musical chairs in Oh, Sit! At the other end of the propriety spectrum, GSN wants folks with "great personal testimonies of coming to faith" for its new American Bible Challenge. The Bible show doesn't care for daredevils but would like "competitive spirits."

The calls have one thing in common: contestants have to live in or near the Los Angeles area. Which eliminates me, though I'm not looking for a berth on a game show any time soon. The Oh, Sit! call also says applicants must be "physically able to compete in an obstacle course." Such ability is probably not crucial on the Bible quizzer.

The only age requirement is 18+, so neither show is blatantly discriminating on age. But I bet the CW will only pick young'uns for its target audience of twenty-something ladies. The Bible show will likely include some more mature folks.
