So I just had a random thought. All these people who get to be on reality tv shows like the biggest loser, survivor, the real world, etc. What do these people do? Do they have jobs? How do they get months off to shoot a frickin' TV show?
Usually not very important ones. If I didn't have my son to take care of, my job isn't good enough that I wouldn't consider quitting if it got me on a national TV show.
Sometimes they have great jobs but think the opportunity is even bigger. I knew Bill Rancic who won the first season of The Apprentice. He had a hugely successful cigar business. He was a self made millionaire. But he found someone else to run his business so he could do the show, and it paid off big time for him. When he came to introduce the lady that was taking over for him, he told us he was going to the Dominican Republic for a few months to tour cigar factories and tabacco plantations etc. We didn't find out why he was really gone till the commercials started up for the show on NBC. It was trippy.
