I met Sam Today

This Canadian guy (maniac) thinks he's the next Anthony Robbins. What a tool. He won't get more than 15 minutes of the lime light. And he still lives with his mother - and he wants to be a terrorist?

Amanda Jones Hour

Yeeeaaah - we were mentioned on the Amanda Jones Hour. She is so hot and has such great guests. And we got a mention. Check her out.

Who is Simone hitting on now?????

I'm sure she screwed Max to get the job. Mi6 has been trailing her like a dog on heat, and now the cameraman caught this on tape... with Brando the show guard.

Guard Fooled - Dumb-ass

There is one great thing working in movies and television - people are blinded by the glamor. We had to film in the docks so the instructions to the guard were: "Under no circumstances let these contestants leave without a full security check". He thought it was Amazing Race. We didn't tell the sucker he was part of a terrorist plot. He would've freaked

Azim from Iran

Just come back from Middle East. Went with Ilsa Jane the EP to check some of the auditions. So i met this guy Azim there. He's from Iran and really keen to be on the show. He wrote a poem for me.

"SAW" - Simone freaks

The TV host thought that maybe she was back on the set of one of the SAW movies. She thinks the contestants are actors---and doesn't realise they are being tortured for real. Max (the producer) said we must keep her in the dark. He doesn't want her to know that we are using real explosions and stuff.

Hot Brando

Hot guy was signed up to manage the security. He kicked some guys off set. He says they were ASIO guys sniffing around trying to get info. He rearranged the once guy's jaw. So don't think they'll be back. But Brando also wants the million dollars. Anyway he's hot.

Auditions Today - Hot guys

I'm organising the final auditions (forbidden to say where). We are now down to our last 50 finalists. And there are some seriously HOT sweaty guys in the final. Say no more.  The guy from Japan attacked the judges with his long samurai sword when they laughed at him. But I think he's in the final 10. Go figure.

Dallas visiting from Los Angeles

Met Dallas today. She's Max's assistant - and she's flown in for a few days to sort out details in the prod. office. She's blonde but seriously on the ball, waiting for her turn to take over Max B productions.

I was Sh**ing my pants.

Wow---today I was in the limo with 3 seriously serious people. The judges of the show have been flown in and I have job of escorting them around. Max doesn't want the media to get pics of them and expose them before the show goes to air - so they have to wear balaclavas whenever they are in public. This dumb security guard at the hotel thought they were coming in to do a contract killing, but after they "talked" to the guy---he's so friendly to them now.  Judge MI6 is so cool - He's the real Daniel Craig. The military guy, Miki Miraj - I suggest nobody should mess with him. He rigs his hotel door every night with some alarm trigger thing for when he's asleep. He says there's a $50,000 bounty on his head. Go figure! (I could do with $50K)  And then the Commandante - She's been living in the jungle most of her life, so wears ear plugs all the time because the city is so noisy. I have to shout at her to be heard. That's scary shouting at a rebel fighter.

I filmed them when we were driving in the limo.

Usual mayhem in Production office

Pre-production is in full swing. Just employed a very nice production secretary too, but the producers are fairly stingy on money at the moment--so offices aren't too flash. (Maybe Max is pocketing most of the budget anyway).

Location Scouting (pee panic)

Wow--day started off amazingly. Max's chopper was about to leave on the location scout when at the last minute the line producer got diarrhea so they offered his empty seat to me.  20 min into the flight I realised that maybe a trip to to the bathroom before taking off would have been a good idea.  We flew NW (I think) for about 2 hrs over mountains, river and desert (locations for series are top secret so can't say). The aborigines have been here 40,000 years. Ride was AWESOME so took a few shots of the chopper flight with my phone. Saw kangaroos. But after three hours---could hold  it no longer and had to pee in my pants. (The pilot was seriously upset).

Simone Price

I met Simone today. She flew in from London and is going to be the host of the show. She's great, very friendly. I organised flowers and chocolates for her hotel room. Max invited her out to dinner - they seem to get on. She's beautiful - I think she won, or was runnner up to a teen Queen competition a few years ago. (To self - maybe I should become a lesbian).

Max Arrived - Felt like an Ant

I feel like an ant. My first impressions of Max B: He didn't even notice me - and fielded 9 calls on his phone, for about 45 minutes before saying hello. Then after chatting about the big yellow pillar that is over the freeway, his hand wanders over to my thigh. Okay. This is going to be one hell-of-a-production. Dropped him off at the Langham, and then had to go back to the office. The line producer Rupert H is okay, ane he wants me to book a chopper into the outback to scout locations. (Hope there's a seat for me)

Max B arriving

Big day today. I am to be picking up LA producer Max Brunette from the airport. The production office insist I hold a sign at the airport flashing his name - even though I will recognise him (hopefully I won't feel like a dag). This is my first week with MB productions as production coordinator. Not sure what my job is going to entail - but hopefully I am going to be on set. Start shooting in a few weeks, but its all under a cloud of secrecy. They want me to sign this 12 page confidentiality doc which I've not signed yet, so don't know how much detail I'll be able to blog if I do. Anyway, have to ready myself for the airport - touch up my make-up and get out there.
