In The Script They Were Called The Hoods 11/9 CITADEL
October 25, 2012
Syfy’s original game show “Total Blackout” is returning for a second season on Tuesday, October 30th. Returning host Jaleel White talked to us about the new season in an interview.
In droves…
Jaleel White said of his Syfy game show, “Total Blackout”, “If I have to be associated with TV that people will genuinely get a kick out of in droves…I haven’t had one single bad comment on the show.” While competing on “Dancing With the Stars”, White said he was in his trailer on his computer and said he watched as “Total Blackout” started trending on Twitter during it’s premiere night. “That’s what we do this for. We do this for water cooler. I saw the numbers start rolling in…80 tweets, 100 tweets, 240 something tweets” he said as the numbers started to build.
When asked if there will be a celebrity episode of “Total Blackout”, White said, “we may have a surprise in store for you regarding celebrities on Total Blackout”. He says he’d love to have Harvey Levin from TMZ on the show. “He would be my dream person just from a karmic standpoint”.
No strategy to this game –
White said, “The contestants get smarter and the producers get smarter. Obviously theses contestants have seen the fist season of the show and sometimes they think they can outsmart us and it’s our job to stay one step ahead of them. For example last year when we had a couples show, we specified that both individuals in the couple had to participate in the challenge. We had a couple last year that got a little smart” White said that one person was more scared than the other. So one did the challenge while the scared one held their hand. “So we knocked that out this year and we’re keeping them honest,” he said.
Hollywood Junket interview with Jaleel White below:
Let’s guess the weight, let’s guess the height…
“There’s some really good maze stuff that we have with mouse traps this year. We have some really interesting food challenges” White said where contestants will have to guess the inside fillings of donuts. White didn’t mention what was inside of these donuts! “The show is growing. I didn’t really think that we’d be able to evolve as much as we have,” White said.
Jaleel’s advice on how to become a contestant –
If you’d like to be a contestant on “Total Blackout,” White said that “the audition process is very real.” White said for people who’d like to audition they can Tweet @Syfy to be on the show, and that Syfy does respond.
Different types of dark –
White warned, “In the audition they have a small room version of the things that they do on the show. The thing is the dark that you experience in that small room is nothing like the dark that you experience on the show. So, invariably people who were once one way in the audition process, they become a another way once the real lights go out.”

hi, my name is Tearsha, I would love nothing more than to be a contestant on total blackout with my girlfriend, she scares very easy and I think it would be a great experience for the both of us and I think my girlfriend would be funny to watch in the dark, which she is afraid of.
Hello! My name is Britany from Tampa, Florida. My boyfriend Kyle and I would both love to be a contestant on Total Blackout. He isn’t really scared of anything, but I’m hoping that we can disprove him by being a contestant!!! I, however, will say there are some things that do scare me, but I’m itching to try this out! What a way to have a great adventure!!!
Hello, my name is Georgette! My husband and I have watched almost every episode and each time it continues to get tensed. We have finally grew the courage to want to be participants on the show. We constantly scare each other around the house so we are confident that we will be winners on the show!
My name is Jacob Waters I would like being contestant on Total BlackOut. With my best friend Jordan Eberlein we line in St.Charles Michigan. We both are deadly afraid of spiders. I think we could handle what you can throw at us and the show is sick.
Hey my name is Jackise and I’m from California and I know for a fact that my friend Calvin and I are a perfect match for your show if given the chance. I’m small and energetic and afraid of just about everything that I cannot see… however packed with pride so I don’t give up easily. Now Calvin is big and strong and can turn any dark situation light and get the job done (most of the time keeping me calm). We have known one another strengths and weaknesses since our teenage years, and this game will really put our relationship to the test.

One of the top ten things on my bucket list is to be a contestant on a game show. It would be the best thing ever to have this come true, and I could cross a big achievement off of my list. I would also like to have my best friend Sierra share the experience with me. We would bring competition to the show as well as good laughs!

Hello Total BlackOut,
(I am not sure if this is the registration for the show, if not please let me know. )
My name is Tara, I’ve watched your show several times and I really enjoy it. I would more than love to be a contestant on the show. I really feel like I can completely win this game, or be second place atleast. Nothing really scares me anymore I feel. I am only 23 yrs young, and about a month ago I didn’t know what being scared was until I went to the hospital and literally only had about a month left to live due to walking pnuemonia, if I didn’t go to the hospital for a cough that was getting worse by the day. I really want to push myself into something new and exciting and dark, and feel a new enjoyable scare in total black out room(s).

Me and a good friend of mine love the show “Total Black Out” and during a “friends” episode of the show, we thought “I would totally do that!”. We have been searching for months on how to apply to get on the show, and with little to no luck, we have failed. We don’t care about the money, or weather we win or lose, it’s the experience we want (but winning and getting the money would totally rock too lol!) Anyway, the point I’m getting at is, we would seriously love to be on the show, it would blow our minds and excite our friends and family to see a few locals on T.V. doing some crazy fun stuff. Please get back to me at my e-mail address if interested: Jekel_Chainz@yahoo.com, and thanks much for reading this at the very least!
