They Take the Cake
Wednesday, 09 February 2011
by Lauren Zumbach
I’ll be honest: without Jane Randall on ANTM and CDY and Jonathan Schwartz on The Amazing Race, I was starting to go into serious Princeton-on-TV withdrawal. For a couple of months, the Orange Bubble achieved the pinnacle of mainstream media fame — and then the world promptly forgot us, and I could no longer use

Jane Randall Shares Her Prof Pic Secrets
Wednesday, 01 December 2010
by David Walter
Do you spend hours agonizing over your choice of a Facebook profile picture, only to worry that the pic just doesn’t feel right? (It’s weird, but you swear your eyes in the picture start to look sadder and sadder — emptier — the longer you stare at them. Is that just a “you thing”? Or

Top Model Recap: Personality Bites
Thursday, 11 November 2010
by David Walter
Cameras capture light, light reflects off surfaces — and that, dear readers, is where Reality Television must halt, unable to penetrate any further. Try as you might, you simply can’t suck a person’s inner life into a videocamera, smash it into a million pixels, and then project what remains onto a TV screen. Scientifically impossible,

Top Model Recap: Miracles Happen
Wednesday, 13 October 2010
by David Walter
Models today are kind of like children in the Victorian Era. To the grownups who run the fashion industry, they’re meant to be seen, not heard. America’s Next Top Model reaches consistently thrilling creative heights by turning that truism on its head. It’s a simple concept: Mic up some models, set them loose, and listen

Top Model Recap: Plain Jane
Thursday, 07 October 2010
by David Walter
Oh my. I knew things were heading south for Jane when she started talking. Top Model Jane doesn’t talk! Up until tonight’s episode, the show’s fifth, she’s been edited as a complete non-entity, a near-mute. Want proof? Someone on the Internet — not me, I swear — has strung together every single moment of screentime Jane’s

Tuesday, 14 September 2010
by David Walter
If you were following our blog these past few months, you know that The Amazing Race isn’t the only reality series with a Princeton connection this fall. This season (or, as the show’s creator/judge/host/resident eccentric Tyra Banks insists on calling it, “cycle”) of America’s Next Top Model features junior Jane Randall among its bevy of

CDY and Schwartz ’10: Amazin’, Racin’, and Takin’ Over the Industry
Wednesday, 01 September 2010
by Will Saborio
Remember when ex-Student Body President Connor Diemand-Yauman ’10 got a special graduation ceremony and skipped the whole “walking across a stage” thing this past May? And then, remember when we told you CDY and best friend/Fantasticks star Jonathan Schwartz ’10 had actually skipped graduation because they were starring on the upcoming 17th season of the

Your Monthly Amazing Race Update, Part 1; Or, What We Talk About When We Talk About CDY
Saturday, 10 July 2010
by David Walter
Even with the outcome potentially spoiled, CDY on the Amazing Race is just so fascinating to me. In my pre-Princeton life I followed The Amazing Race as fanatically as some people follow football or baseball or the Academy Awards. I would flip out at the announcement of a new destination (“We’ve never been to Ethiopia

I Went To The Reality TV Casting Session So You Didn’t Have To
Sunday, 09 May 2010
by David Walter
And waited, waited, waited for two hours yesterday to have my chance in front of the producers of this prospective show (if you remember from my previous post, the team is shooting a pilot first). I brought work, though, so it was fine. I waited in an upstairs lounge at the Nassau Inn. While sitting

Saturday, 24 April 2010
by David Walter
Earlier this year, we gave some advice to seniors struggling to find jobs: get yourself on a reality TV show. But it turns out you don’t even need a diploma to cash in on that Princeton cachet — because the cameras are coming to us! Yup, Old Nassau might just get its moment in the national

Part 2: Choose Your Ivy Type So you’ve decided to give up on the job search and try out for a Reality TV show. Congratulations! Like I said before, you’re a total shoo-in. Why, again? America, as you probably know, has a love-hate relationship with the Ivy League. Wealth! Power! Privilege! Great stuff. When push
