Q: Do you know how the people on reality TV shows are chosen? Do you want to be on a reality show?

Here is some advice.
     If you are an actor, your chances of being accepted for a reality show aren't good. Many shows refuse to accept people with acting experience because reality shows are about real people in real situations. Television is so popular in all societies that nowadays most people can tell if someone on TV is acting or just being himself.

    You should be careful about how you present yourself in your application. You will probably need to submit photographs. Don't send photos of yourself with large groups of people or at a party. You want people to notice you, not compare you to others. Also, avoid sending photos of yourself in inappropriate clothes like a bathing suit. For application photos, dress as if you are interviewing for an office job.

     In addition to good photos, it is important to send your application in quickly. Many people want to be on these shows, so you want to be first. Also, if anyone from the show contacts you, it is important to email or call immediately. They are busy people, and they will find someone else if you are too slow to answer their questions.

     Most importantly, always be honest during the application process. A lie may make you more interesting, but all information is carefully checked. You will not be on the show if you are caught in a lie.

35. [...]     Being an actor will not help you get accepted for a reality show.

36. [...]   You should send a photo of yourself at a party with your application.

37.[...]    You shouldn't send a photo of yourself in very informal clothes.

38. [...]     You should respond to questions about your application right away.

39. [...]     It isn't a good idea to make up interesting things about yourself for your application.

40. [...]    The information on your application will not be checked very carefully.
