So You Wannabe on Reality TV
by Jack Benza
Reality TV has taken over the airways and now anyone looking for their “fifteen minutes of fame” can learn what it takes to be cast as a contestant on one of these shows. Experienced reality show contestant Jack Benza lifts the veil of secrecy to acing the auditioning and casting process, making an audition tape, preparing for the physical and mental test, passing the background check, and winning over producers. He discusses the competition, the sacrifices, the temptations and the prizes.
He exposes how the producers rig shows, how cameras turn into confession booths, and how sex and alcohol are used as rewards. Benza offers tips on personal safety issues, financial rewards, and the pros and cons of making friends on the show. Finally, Benza shares his own experiences of making out with a porn star, being hunted by a rock star, almost being raped in an Amsterdam bar and winning and smashing up two new cars. |

Reviews
"Jack Benza breaks down life in, on, and around Reality TV. And you'll be surprised to find out what 'reality' really means when TV is involved. Quick tip: Save your winnings."
— Mark La Monica, Newsday
"...the inevitable 'So You Wannabe on Reality TV' by Jack Benza, who got hired for 30 reality, dating and game shows. After getting two cars, a couple of trips and $60,000 cash out of it, he'll tell you how to pass the audition, get cast, stay on top and how to win. Also, as he puts it, how 'sex and alcohol' are used as rewards."
— Cindy Adams, New York Post,
"Hey parents, this is the book to give your child before they head off to Hollywood with stars in their eyes. The author bravely exposes the industry's hidden secrets."
— A.J. Benza, TV Personality and Author of Fame: Ain't It a Bitch
