I was on the TV show Elimidate about a million years ago.
On this show, one guy goes on a ‘date’ with four girls (or vice versa) and at the end of each ‘date’ activity he eliminates one of the girls. After the final activity, he picks one girl to go on a one-on-one date with.
It was the most hilariously scripted ‘reality’ show I’ve ever seen.
I had a two-hour call with a producer a few weeks before the taping (after three auditions and a screen test). He asked me all about myself and was very easy to talk to.
On the call, he learned about several things they later used on the show.
- I’m bisexual
- At the time, I subscribed to Playboy
- I used to be a bartender and was very proud of then having a “real job”
- I had a less-than-positive view of people who had voluntary cosmetic surgery
- I considered myself smarter than the average blonde.
- Tequila is my weakness
- I had a whip and was using it the night I got the name Kittie
I know…I was a judgmental snob. Sorry!! I don’t feel that way anymore.
Anyhow…
I was cast as the bitchy, aggressively bisexual, snobby girl.
They had me hit on one of the other girls.
Every single one of the other girls had fake boobs - one was employed at a plastic surgery clinic.
The guy on the date was a bartender.
And my intro tagline that they came up with to show at the begininng was, “Hi, my name’s Kittie. If my coworkers think my subscription to Playboy is crazy, wait ‘til they see what I’ve got planned for this date!”
Around 2pm they broke out the tequila and started giving me shots between each take.
All of the ‘talent’ (the three other girls, the guy, and me) were kept completely sequestered from each other when not on camera, so I don’t know what was going on with them, but it was an all-you-can-drink tequila buffet for Kittie!
It came down to me and the Amazonian chick who worked at the clinic. By this time I was good and liquored up.
And they took us to a bar with “Rack” used as a double entendre in the name.
The final ‘date’ activity?
We got to pudding wrestle in bikinis. On national television
My only issue was that it was vanilla pudding and I wanted chocolate.
I kicked her ass.
He still picked her.
It might have had something to do with the producers putting one of the other chicks up to asking me what I thought about bartenders earlier in the day, before I knew he was a bartender.
By the way, I now know that bartenders are super-awesome and I love them!!
That’s okay - he wasn’t my type anyway.
I’ve still never seen the episode, though I and several people I know have done exhaustive searches for it.
I have been recognized and called by name three times by people who saw it, though.
For some reason they’re always surprised when they get to know me.

P.S. - In the unlikely event that some enterprising Quoran with nothing better to do finds the episode online, I would appreciate a PM with the link rather than a public posting. I’d prefer to make that call myself!
