Yep first episode is out, so now I can share a few things.
Not AT ALL what I was expecting. I thought it'd be an interview, some on screen tests to see how you did like at an event or something, and a driving skills test with a little training to see how quick you'd pick it up. NOPE.
My first clue was getting an email from a "producer" with "wardrobe instructions". Oh boy.
Next, was being taken straight from the airport to the racing school which had been turned in to a giant TV set, lights, cameras, boom mics, all over the place. Probably 100 person production crew. Straight to wardrobe where I was asked to take all my clothes out so a stylist could pick out what I'd be wearing each day. At least we got to wear our own clothes, but no logos or anything which was hard since all my stuff has logos LOL.
That 11:27 video took us 16 HOURS of time on set. Brutal.
For that interview with Goldberg, we had no idea what it was. A director's assistant would come get us, take us one by one to a door and the director would say when I say action, just walk in. No other information was provided. I had a guess it would be Goldberg, but no clue it was a set like that. Once we finished those of us that had completed that were separated from those that hadn't.
