Never Meet Your Heroes

Yesterday I worked a day from Hell at Nickelodeon auditioning 19 potential presenters. Really, working auditions is the most painful & tedious thing I do. And because it's kids telly they're all young & keen & awful people. They each had to do a five minute slot presenting without stopping, introducing videos, interviewing a pretend pop star & babbling to camera. Believe me, five minutes is a long time to talk at a camera for & most corpse halfway through or lose the plot completely- and that's painful to watch.
Most notable victim was Rochelle from S Club 8, who a) Wasn't very good, b) Was a bit snooty.
I can't see her getting a call-back.
I do hope the rest of the band aren't veering in the same precious direction.
