Survivor Diaries - 98pgs document the audition process
Seller: survivor7nicole
Current Bid $355.00
History: 20 bids
8 Hours, 40 Minutes Left!!
Former Survivor Contestant's Original Journals tell the whole story behind the show.
Up for auction are two personal journals that belonged to former Survivor contestant, Nicole Delma. These personal diaries were written in 2003 and detail every step of the Survivor audition process as well as what production of the show was really like.
Learn what is real and what is staged and how bad (or not so bad) it really is. Learn how the casting process actually works and what tests, evaluations and auditions you must pass in order to get on the show. Find out what questions the producers and casting directors really ask and what answers advance you to the next level of tryouts. How do you pass the brutal final interview with a room full of CBS execs?
Journal 1:
The first journal contains over 72 pages that describe each hour of the audition process that took place when applicants were sequestered for a week in a hotel in Santa Monica, California. The journal describes the meetings with Mark Burnett, Jeff Probst and the scores of other producers and stakeholders. Also described are the psychological tests, physical exams, mental evaluations, personality profiling, intelligence testing and exhaustive background checks that all take place in order to screen contestants. Included is the list of incredibly bizarre 'rules' contestants had to follow as well as brutally honest opinions and first impressions of the other applicants--some who made it on the show and became very famous (like Burton, Rupert and Jonny Fairplay) and others who were cut. Read about how this contestants' audition video was actually staged and 'filmed' in her hotel room with the help of producers after she had already completed her audition. Understand why certain cast members are recruited each year and never actually sent in an application. Hear how much of the show is actually 'produced' from certain scenes, to wardbrobe to conflict.
Journal 2:
The second journal picks up mid-way through filming in Panama right after the contestant was first voted off. This journal was kept daily during the interim period while the Season 7 castaways prepared to go back on the show. It discusses life at 'castaway camp' and the strategy implemented by producers and contestants that went into the 'return of the castaways' episode. Hear how contestants were treated, how much information we were actually 'privy' too and which scenes they were asked to film over and over because the first take didn't go well.
Why are these being sold now--five years later?
Simple. The contract is up so this information is no longer 'forbidden' to the public.
The release of these journals is not meant to spoil the show but will definitley provide some insight into what the show is really all about. This is a good read for anyone thinking of or trying to get on the show as it details exaclty how one contestant did it. Everything in here is the truth -- written as it happened. If you ever wondered if you were really cut out for the whole process--this will definitely help you decide.
Legal Note:The buyer of these journals agrees not to reproduce or sell the contents of these journals in any way. The contents of these journals will remain the intellectual property of the seller. The buyer should also understand that pages not pertaining to the show or audition process will be removed and names of individuals not affiliated with the topic of Survivor will be blacked out.
If you have any questions specifically about this auction -- please feel free to ask but please, no other types of questions.
Good luck and enjoy!

The journal does seem interesting... although there is no way she is going to get away with it. I guess Nicole is going broke, and this is a last ditch effort to use her 15 minutes of fame to try to bring in some cash....the bidding is now up over $2,000. But as 13wannabe says, you sign a waiver which states that you can not write and sell something like she is doing until an allotted amount of time has passed after the final episode of the show has aired. (Not your season, but survivor the series)

 How crappy though, because I wanted those journals!! How much over $2,000 did they get to? Rotfl at the Senior Vice President Associate General Counsel at CBS leaving his number, hahaha! Crack me up, here's what it says now -
This listing () has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.
Tell you what, my eyes are a little bit blurred out right now from enlarging, zooming, coloring applicating, and everything else trying to read those pages, but I'm making some progress

Going Once! 'Survivor' Contestant Puts Diaries on eBay
September 8, 2008
Nicole Delma didn’t last long on Survivor. A contestant on the Pearl Islands edition of the CBS reality show back in 2003, Delma left her mark thanks to a little blue halter dress and a tell-it-like-it-is personality that got her voted off in the very first episode.
Now, five years later—and just as the series returns for its 17th cycle on Sept. 25—she’s offering to dish up “the whole story behind the show” by auctioning off her “Survivor Diaries” on eBay: two handwritten journals she kept during the audition process and in the weeks after she was voted off the show.
According to the description on the eBay auction (which closes Sept. 8, at 6:10 p.m. Pacific Time), the first journal contains a 72-page account of the time she and the other applicants spent “sequestered for a week in a hotel in Santa Monica, Calif.,” subjected to “psychological tests, physical exams, mental evaluations, personality profiling, intelligence testing and exhaustive background checks.”
It also recounts meetings with producer Mark Burnett, host Jeff Probst and “scores of other producers and stakeholders.”
Part 2 picks up after she was voted off and sent to “castaway camp” for two weeks before reappearing on the “return” show.
When we spoke with Delma last week, she told us she wasn’t looking to rewind her 15 minutes.
“I actually enjoyed when the final Survivor identity went away, and I was able to escape that stigma,” said Delma, 29, who went on to become manager of e-mail operations for Conde Nast publications. “But I’m starting business school and this seemed like an easy way to raise money for it.”
Indeed, when she put her famous blue dress (retail: $50) up on eBay back in 2003, it fetched a cool $2,500. And if the auction should catch the attention of a publisher, she’ll retain rights to the content for a potential book.
While Delma didn’t elaborate on those meetings with Burnett and Probst, she did offer up a few fun bits from the diaries, such as the multiple takes required for her fateful Tribal Council scene.
“Every time they tried to vote me off, I started cracking up because I knew I was going,” she said. “They couldn’t get the take they wanted so finally they were like, ‘Just get off the island.’”
Delma described her tenure at the castaway camp as more “like a prison camp,” where the producers restricted contestants’ food in-take to keep them lean for the return show—forcing Delma to steal food from the producers’ refrigerators.
But Delma says her revelations about staged auditions and re-shot scenes aren’t meant to spoil the show for fans: “A lot of these things have been rumored for a while.”
(A CBS spokesperson offered this response: “Yawn. Suggestions that the Survivor experience isn’t real or that the competition is staged are as old as they are false.”)
As for breaking her contractual silence about the show, which she says expired in 2005, Delma is confident she’s in the clear.
Still, she says, “I hope the auction price shoots up before I get a call from CBS.”
Damn those CBS party crashers!!

Anyway, you just know Darrel Wolcott was bidding on it, he's the one who bought her famous "Blue Dress"
He paid $2,050 for that, and just look at all the other items of Nicoles' that he has!
http://darrell75657.tripod.com/id12.html
sa0695, I don't know if she's going broke, but she did a testimonial for Proactiv, I wonder if, and how much she was paid for that?
Proactive.com
"Proactiv... is my lifesaver. It's confidence in a bottle... it's how I got control of my life again."
"...If Survivor called me tomorrow and asked me to come back to the show, when I listed my luxury item this time, it would be Proactiv... because the whole experience wouldn't be worth it...nothing would be worth it if I had to feel that way again. You know, in front of 25 million people, and you don't feel your best... you're thinking there's 25 million people looking at my zits right now, is basically what was going through my head...so absolutely, I would demand it was my luxury item and I would horde it, I wouldn't let anyone else use it."
One last bit of good news...Nicole isn't finished just.yet.
Joel Topik
BroadCastingCable.com
...and with the price over $2,000--Delma received a message on the auction page from an associate general counsel at CBS asking her to call ASAP.
Soon after, Delma posted the following response: “Could you kindly provide me, in writing, an explanation of the basis for their belief that CBS ‘owns’ my life story. I'm still not completely clear... Thank you, Nicole.”
...Delma says CBS has yet to provide the documentation she requested and offered this retort: “I am very happy my contract does not include any clause prohibiting me from publishing a work of ‘fiction.’ I’ll be releasing my first ‘novel’ in the near future.”
