    Default HGTV - Handyman Superstar Challenge III

    I've been waiting to post until I was more certain of me going

    Story:

    About a month and 1/2 ago my GF and I sawon HGTV they were accepting entries for the next Handyman Superstar Challenge,.. So I entered

    They wanted a short Video of my work and of me working and a short questionaire

    So I did that

    2 days ago I got a call,.. strange area code,.. and I answered,.. it was firvalley productions,.. asking if I was still interested in competing in the next Handyman Superstar Challenge,.. I said,.. well more like yelled excitedly "HELL YA!!"

    LOL

    To complete my registration I had to fill out a bunch of release forms and fax back,.. I just got back from faxing them off,.. so theoretically by tomorrow,.. I'll be officially registered for the show


    Now don't hold your breath on me even appearing on TV.

    They are flying in 20 people,.. but only 10 will partake in the filming. On the first day,.. they will be eliminating 10 people.

    So I have no idea if I'll even make it passed the first round.

    FYI:

    All expenses paid trip

    AFAIK: there are only 2 from Alberta - I'm the only from Calgary
    3 from BC
    And the rest are from ontario.


    There is no prize this year,.. which I don't care,.. I had a feeling they were continuing this show just for shits and giggles and with no budget.

    Would be nice if they had some sort of Championship belt,.. LOL,.. kinda like Wrestling,.. LOL

    "Champion gold plated tool belt" LOL

    But it's all good.

    I saw last years finalists and they were all pretty knowledgable,.. so hopefully if I do get selected for the filming,.. I can only hope I'll make it to the top 5.

    Even if I don't,.. at least its a free trip to ontario,.. even if it was just for a night,.. LOL

    Wish me luck

    oh,.. and I'm the asian looking red neck,.. most likely wearing a black straw cowboy hat,.. ROFL

    Wish me luck,.. They fly me out September 10th!!!

    It's 6:30 am in tdot right now,.. camera crew is supposed to be here when we get downstairs for breaky,..

    We leave for the set at 7:30,.. and we probably wont be back till 9:30 again,.. like yesterday.

    AFAIK: there will be 2 challenges a day

    and OMG all the dewalt tools!

    damit they must have almost 60g's of dewalt tools on set

    From here on,.. we signed waivers of confidentiality,.. so I can't tell you who wins,.. infact I can't tell you anymore,.. except when I find out when it might air.

    Uh it's almost been 4 months since the last reply... would make me think that it's probably done... if that's not the case... updates?
