Season 8 of the Biggest Loser casting to Charlotte

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executive 224195

The hit netowrk show is looking for contestants in Charlotte North Carolina this week. Five hundred people showed up to see if they had what it takes to be on the show.  It happened on Saturday, and everyone had to wait out in the rain to see if they would make it to the next round. 

As Charlotte NC grows into a larger city, there are more casting calls like this for big shows. I'm sure Americal Idol has been out here recently or will be soon if it hasn't been. I don't really keep an eye out for stuff like that. 

But one of my other posts highlighted the fact that big stars like the Jonas Brothers seem to think Charlotte is important enough to stop by the cinema here to pay a visit. That says to me that Charlotte has gone from being a sleepy textile town to a major market.

I don't know if they will be filming The Real World Charlotte anytime soon, and I'm not sure it would be a good thing if they did, but it seems like it could happen if Charlotte keeps experiencing the growth that it has been seeing here recently.

you should add this to localism, it is a great use of localism to reach out to clients and prospective customers - hope all is well

I spent six years in Raleigh in the '80s, and loved every minute of it.  It is a beautiful state, Charlotte is a great city and it is just dripping with history.  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Brian, interesting story. I think film crews are canvasing the entire country. I've never been in your area, but I'd love a visit one day. ;-) I'm all about the history....
