Hi....I am new here! I went to the Seattle audition and....got a call back! YIPPEE!!! I have been updated on the following for Season 4. They had planned on casting in August, but have since postponed it until December for casting, and January for filming. I was told this by the casting director that I had by call back audition with, as well as I recevied a phone call. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

Congrats on getting a call back!! I hope that if you do manage to get on the show you will keep checking in with us here on the boards to let us know how you're doing and what you do at the ranch!

Good luck

Here is the info on Season 4 that I have heard. Per the casting agent that I dealt with.....due to a small response in their casting calls.....NBC has decided to hold off on their casting until December, and they expect to film in January.

It seems that they had very low numbers of people show up at their live auditions. Previously they have had 1000's turn out. In Seattle....they only had a little over 250 people. I guess they had similar turn outs in all locations. This was the first time that they have not done as much publicity. In the end of July, I got an email back from the casting agent telling me of the delay. Watch the opening show....I think they will be making a one time announcement that they are still casting.....and to send in your audition tapes! So it sounds like it isn't too late!

Has anyone else gotten a call from them telling them that they were waiting until December? I got an email...as well as a call one during the 1st week of August...and am dying to know if anyone else got the same.

3Ball and NBC called me in August and said it would be mid-September. I was sent the background package and had to overnight it back to them that week because they were going on hiatus until the first of September. They did say taping was going to begin in Jan.

They did not mention anything about Dec.

I can't tell you how good it feels to hear that someone else has heard the same thing that I did about filming in January. I heard the casting in December from an email that I received from the casting agent I dealt with. I had sent him an email asking if they would notify you with a thanks but no thanks rejection letter. He answered back...only notifcations would be going out to those who would be called to L.A. for NBC casting auditions. He said...since the filming would be in January...they were expecting to cast in December.

Good Luck....wouldn't it be great if we both made it on the show!

Hey, did you both go to open casting calls? I'm curious if both video applications and casting calls get the same attention; if I make sense.

I sent in a video a few months back before the initial deadline, but if I'd known I had more time I would've put a LOT more thought and effort into it. I made it in just a few days, so it wasn't edited as well as it could've been.

Haha, do you think it would be frowned upon if I sent in a new, better one for the new deadline?

Not sure if they would review a revised video. Mine was done if just one shot....but I feel really good about it. My sign on "Junk int The Truck Lady" is the whole theme of it. Cuz'...I got way too much jucnk in the trunk!

I think we all have the same chances of getting a call from NBC....they have various different types of people that they are looking for. All I can say is.....I really want to be on the show.....in fact....NO....I want to be the WINNER......but either way......I know that I am ready to LOSE the weight...with or without the show. That is what is really important!

Good Luck to all of us that are pursuing this goal!

so do they know everyone whos going to be on season 4 or only a few people so far?? Has NBC made the final cuts or are they still working on it?

While I have had a live audition.....it was with a casting agent NOT NBC. I have been told that they are not casting until December. Per the agent that I dealt with....they review all applications/videos and make preliminary cuts to around 60 people. They notify those people and fly them to L.A. for interviews with NBC people. NBC makes the final decisions. So....from what I understand......calls will be made for that, and then NBC will chose from them. OF course that is assuming that Season 4 will be the standard 14 poeple format. I guess we won't know until people start getting the calls to go to NBC.

I hope that NBC thinks I am as promising as the agents lead me to believe that I was......I am ready to dawn the spandex....and let everyone know that my highest weight has been 249 lbs (maybe more....there was a time that I couldn't or woruldn't dare get on a scale)

Keep checking back for more posts!
