Here’s a clip from the first show where a ten-year-old tap dancer tries to impress the judges to fund his trip to the Tap Olympics.
Sounds like the show works really well — hopefully we’ll get to watch it in the UK soon! We can have a look at this week’s contestants as E! has posted video of the casting tapes. The video includes a guy who wants $17,140 for the Miss Gay USofA at Large pageant, a woman asking for $62,995 for her daughter’s commercial pilot training, a kid who needs $8,000 to represent the US in the Tap Olympics, a couple with an odd casting pitch (watch it, you know you want to…) who want $60,000 to get married, a guy who asks for $7,500 to take his mom somewhere fun, a balloon guy (complete with balloon tattoos!) who asks for $12,500 to travel around children’s hospitals with his balloons, a 14 year old boy who wants $125,000 for a pool so he can learn to walk again, and a woman who needs $84,000 to follow Madonna on tour for a year.
According to examiner.com, the balloon guy won $15,000 and kept the secret for seven weeks by telling people that they’d filmed both a winning and a losing shot. TV Eye has a review that includes information about how it went for some of the other contestants: Raiding ‘Bank of Hollywood’
