America's Got Talent,
GSN The Game Show Network (GSN) is dipping into dating show territory with a fun, new original game for singles, whom don’t necessarily have to be single (see our earlier post here: http://hollywoodjunket.com/2010/02/20/gsn-light-hearted-new-dating-game-show/ ) called “Baggage”
Jerry Springer enters the dating world on TV!
NBC talent contest show, “America’s Got Talent” former host, Jerry Springer will be the host of “Baggage”. His background in hosting out-there guests exposing their secret lives or down-right appalling reveals is sure to come in handy on this show which also exposes guests, but in a different way.
Daters will have to give away their quirky habits or lifestyle secrets. Such as pack-rat behavior, still living with Mom and Dad, or not capable of holding-down a job!
Knowing that Springer will be the host, the promise of this game show/reality show being entertaining and successful just went up by about 100%. Springer hosted a game show, and a part talk show, part reality show. If Springer can’t pull this off, then no one can!

Castings,
GSN Hollywood, CA – GSN is currently holding auditions for a new type of dating game show.
According to our source, the show gives contestants the “opportunity to discover and share each others quirks, habits and baggage upfront to avoid the all-to-common surprises down the road!” Some examples of this might be that a contestant might still live with their parents, or might be a pack-rat. The types of things that qualify as “deal-breakers” for most singles, but don’t find out until after several dates.
The way the game is set-up to be played, is one contestant will choose from a pool of three others. The deciding contestant then must pick the one with the “least amount of baggage”.
Contestants won’t be going out on dates. Thus, as reported, contestants don’t really have to be single to be on the game show. The “singles” pool will be compensated for their time. But, no word yet on what the reward is that contestants will be competing for.
The show is looking for 120 “singles”. For more information on auditioning for this show, email a photo and your information to: carlpocket@gmail.com
