It will be interesting to see what comes of this in the weeks ahead.

[Mirimaran]

That's great, Odigan! I hope you both make it!

Well, today was the deadline, it wont be as long as it has been till we know whether or not we've been picked. My very best to my brother in the sword and horse, Odigan. It will be an honor and a pleasure to meet you in the lists or to cheer you from home as fate allows.

[dwayne davis]

I say good luck to you both, i hope to see you two gain succes. ( and stay in one peice more or less)

[Peter Remling]

Anyone hear anything yet ?

I've checked the net and havn't seen/heard anything regarding if they have picked anyone yet. I do realize they may have picked their candidates and that those candidates might be contractually obligated not to say anything. I am curious to see if they are going ahead with this show or are scrapping it due to the obvious difficulty producing it.

Still very interested in this.

[R.D.Metcalf]

Never heard a word, Pete

[dwayne davis]

It is my opinion if they dont pic you R.D. they are making a mistake. as far as the quality of their canidates/fighters. that is if they WANT the best.

[R.D.Metcalf]

I'm mighty complimented, Mr. Davis, thank you sir. My opinion is that my video wasnt as charismatic as they wanted. I think the blow-hard braggart persona makes better television. I'm not that type I spoke to the camera in a blunt realistic fashion knowing damn well any brag I made would come back to haunt me should I fail to perform....and yeah that would make good television, but it would make an ass out of me. My name is all I have and I will not shame myself by bragging about how great I am at something I've never done.

As a horseman or swordsman I would love my odds, but as a lancer ....like most...I'm simply not up to speed. And I honestly dont think that the short period of training before the semi-finals would've got me anywhere near as good as I would want to be. At any rate I can still ride my horse and swing a sword at home...I may not have got invited to their party but my own party never stopped

Good luck to those who were selected.

Is this connected to the Knights of Mayhem? There is a new show on National Geographic starting Nov 15th that looks sort of like what you are describing.

They have a Facebook.

The show I auditioned for was on the History Channel, KOM is a different show and group of people. Charlie Andrews has some off the wall ideas, Knights should weigh 200+ pounds and horses should be in the draft category....This is -to put it mildly- pure bullshit! As this would've excluded nearly all period knights, and all their horses. However, I do think there has been a campaign of character assassination waged on Charlie, that is beneath contempt. If I cant ride against on the feild, I'm not going to berate him on the net.....And he would've been a worthy, if somewhat misinformed, adversary. As I understand he was eagerly awaiting a challenge from the winner of FMJ.
