So, I think it's safe to say that another casting season has come and gone and the Producers of Amazing Race Canada have yet again dropped the ball and failed to realize that they need the sisters formerly known as Sawatzky on their show.
There have been four seasons of Amazing Race Canada, and my sister and I have submitted applications for three of the four seasons. (we were both giving birth during the second season and we neglected to submit an application). In this time, we have not been selected to be on the show. Crazy, I know. Who runs this show anyway? ;)
You may detect some sour grapes, as I've been making efforts (but not yet succeeded) to overcome the bitterness I feel in regards to being passed over...
I mean, who wouldn't want to watch some "approaching middle age" (yikes!) mamas from the prairies who are likely over-crediting their own abilities to compete in a race around the world!
Network gold, baby! ;)

Our first video audition
With our first audition, we tried to grab attention so we'd stand out from the masses of other canadians trying to get on the show. We maybe (???) put a little too much effort into trying to look capable. I'm thinking there is an issue with discrimination towards the holstein nation of our country...
I really think we could have beat the Tims (Jr & Sr) who won that season, "no problem."
Our second video audition
After a one season hiatus (due to childbirth) we got back on the horse to throw our hat in the ring for season 3. (too many metaphors??) We thought we tamed this video down to be more of what they might be looking for, but no. My over-the-top playful jabs at trying to be funny (often at my sister's expense) were not appreciated.
So, as we put together our application for this 4th season of Amazing Race Canada, we really looked into what we thought producers want in an audition. We took the guidelines to heart... mostly ;) It was supposed to be much simpler than our previous applications; so they could really get to know us.. ;)
I know they did get our application because I received this in my inbox:
So, I'm baffled as to why we were never called! ;)
They didn't like our song???
Our most recent video audition.
As Carrie and I made our video and applied this last time, I got the sense that my dear hubby was a little jealous. He and I had both always said that doing something like the Amazing Race would likely NOT be healthy for our marriage! Who knows, though... maybe we should give it a shot representing dairy farmers everywhere!
Will Carrie and I submit another application for the next (2017) season??
Oh, probably. Our illusions of grandeur push us on.
Besides, I think we're wearing them down...
