Major Televised Show Losers, What Was Life Like When You Got Home? | People Stories #405

people who lost in a major televised show agt american idol etc what was life like when you got home cowboy from season five of big brother is from my hometown which is small and in oklahoma i didn't really know who he was until he was pointed out to me as our server actually harsh neat but harsh i was supposed to lose in this small swiss tv show on which i was when i was 12 but there was a bug in the computer system which automatically showed the correct answer to me instead of making us record it again they just let me win went home with a 100 bucks and a wii awesome when i was 12 went home with a wii god dang i'm freaking old i was on ghost hunters and my home was declared haunted so i got to be freaked out by that for a little while after does that count as losing this made me laugh really hard because i'm imagining you were all clueless and happy in your house everything changed when the ghost hunters arrived i have a friend who was on who wants to be a millionaire back when that show was big time popular he went on the show answered two questions correctly and missed on the third question something very simple he should have gotten correctly he was so embarrassed it practically devastated him though hardly anyone knew he had been to the taping he came home and was depressed for months knowing it would be airing soon he was inconsolable wouldn't socialize with anyone for a while and went into a deep depression he eventually got over it but it really took a toll on him for a while oddly he wanted to go back on the show for another chance thankfully he didn't do that denial equals anger equals bargaining equals depression equals acceptance equals another chance that he wants to be a millionaire i know a girl that was on the bachelor reality tv comes and goes quickly so no one really recognizes her anymore when it edge he'd get the occasional um are you on the bachelor and that's about it i'd imagine for most once your season is done life returns to normal barring you not having total meltdown on national tv i was on college jeopardy in 2013 and placed third since it was a tournament and not a normal style game i won 25 000 for coming in third instead of the normal one thousand dollars third place participants get i don't know if that still qualifies as losing but i didn't win and still kick myself a bit for wagering stupidly in the last final jeopardy first place when i got back home my life initially was a little odd people i hadn't spoken to in years were contacting me and seeing how i'd been and such which was pretty nice since i didn't win the lottery or become famous or anything it's not like they'd have ulterior motives to getting in touch with me i had a couple of random people stop me on campus since i went representing my institution and there was a lot of social media coverage by the school and asked me if i was a jeopardy girl but that was about it as far as abnormal things i got to pay off some of my college loans and all of my friends and family were really proud of me overall 10 stroke 10 would recommend to anyone my brother made the top 15 in america's got talent he actually skipped medical school so he could compete after they got the boot he played a couple shows with his group then went on to medical school now he's the chief resident in a children's hospital in orlando i got to fly out to los angeles to see the show live he says it's a nice addition to his resume nice to see that he went back to med school and didn't get any false hopes of making it big performing chris renee is my neighbor he actually won the x factor but whatever they played up this sub story how he used to be on drugs and is clean now not a bad singer really you he's back on drugs i remember seeing him on the show that is sad to hear i went to high school with a girl who was on a popular cooking computer tianne show she didn't win but everyone was really proud that someone from our town was even on the show she was a very nice driven girl and was professional on the show i can't imagine anything bad came from it was it master chef i hope it was masterchef god dang i love masterchef i have an old buddy who actually won millionaire he quit his big city bartending job moved back to his hometown and enrolled in nursing school he graduates pretty soon and got to do a complete career change as an adult having had the opportunity for a paid education something he couldn't otherwise have afforded most folks on reality tv seem to think that showbiz people are going to see their true talent and invest in them your friend did it right he saw his own true talent and invested in himself dunno if i'm late but last year i was on wheel of fortune i got to the final puzzle round but didn't get the puzzle correct the envelope revealed i would have won thousand dollars it was shot a month previously and basically everyone just congratulated me for what i did win when it aired except bob bob so you missed out on thirty thousand dollars me yeah i went in with nothing though and had a great time and won those trips bob still though thirty thousand dollars would have been nice what a shame thanks bob also frick taxes i was on wheel of fortune in 08 and i still low taxes i randomly shared a 10-hour flight from europe with a girl who just got kicked off the bachelor she was in the top three she seemed super embarrassed most of the flight of course i ended up watching the series when it aired and she was the bee of the group that none of the girls liked she's from my home city and low and behold years later my sister ended up working with her at a corporate office and she said everything was just business as usual small god dang world btw my buddy was the winner on a food truck competition on food network he was still the same guy who just loved to cook but the funny part was he had brought over his girlfriend and she was the winner of the first season of that paris hilton best friend show so i guess they had an ice breaker when they met both being on reality tv and they're both winners so that's good i briefly dated a guy who was the first person to appear on the british show called how clean is your house he didn't think it would be a big show at all and basically just wanted a free house cleaning apparently when he got selected they told him to just not clean up after himself for the two weeks or so until taping so of course his flat was just disgusting by the time of filming fast forward to a few years later whether he's now a high school teacher and b youtube exists i think every semester it's a rite of passage for his students to see him being the most lovingly person in the uk i need this show they could come right now no preparation time needed a girl from my high school came in second place on american idol last year it was funny watching everyone get so hyped up even though nobody had cared about that show for years they fixed up our school to make it look good on camera hung a giant two-story poster on the front of the build and held two concerts one for the public and another private one for students the private one was really awkward it was clearly just for the camera and not for us they would stop the show a restart part so they could refilm it and the producer would come out to tell her what to do next after she lost everyone forgot it happened she came to our prom with the winner as a date for a half hour i got to pee next to him which was pretty much the highlight of the prom for me when i went to college nobody had ever heard of her it would have been interesting to see her on when it was at its height of popularity i had a high school class with the girl who got yelled at and fired by amit from amy's baking company in that show where gordon ramsay tries to save failing restaurants kitchen nightmares is what i think it's called she said that amy her boss was a real bee in real life and that when she got fired her twitter went from 200 followers to over 8k two nights i think she got an offer to be on some show on mtv or something but i don't think anything came of it apparently she was also an extra in hangover three so i guess she has those things going for her i was at a strip club in vegas and was offered a dance by a woman who got kicked off the show rock of love with brett michaels it was 11 p.m and she had coffee breath i politely declined because she was sitting on my phone in my pocket and was cutting off my circulation i love this show and i am desperate to know who it was all of those girls were hot messes and i love them i was on the biggest loser family and friends seemed a lot more bummed out and oppressed that i did not win any money for me i was happy for the experience knowledge networking and it was great for my kids who got to be little movie stars for a few months family and friends seemed a lot more bummed out and oppressed that i did not win any money you'd think they'd be content with the fact that you were better in your health i was on who wants to be a millionaire this past season with terry crews as host i ended up making sixteen thousand two hundred and fifty dollars for the occasion not bragging you could easily surmise who i was from post history i come from a pretty blue-collar working poor town so despite not making a million everyone was still super supportive of me and had nothing but nice things to say of course people still bust my bulls about fish ladders which was the answer to the question i had to walk away on i didn't tell anyone at work until it had and then when i left that job to go to a new job everyone in the office had already seen it because my friend commandeered the tv other than that it's business as usual tl dr terry crews gives amazing hugs his body is like black velvet draped over solid concrete terry crews gives amazing hugs his body is like black velvet draped over solid concrete you want more than you could ever dream first season of survivor we knew rudy bosh who was a former seal team member along with my dad we all tuned in for new episodes and rooted for him he was third place i believe my dad was pretty p when he lost and richard hatch won then again richard failed to claim his winnings on his taxes and i believe he was sent to jail for doing so my brother got top five in the voice last season he had dropped out of college the year before even though he didn't win he was a huge hit on the show and amassed a pretty solid number of fans he went on a couple tours and just released his newest ep today actually my friend was on america's next top model she said it was weird while she was on the show but since she didn't make it very far things were just the same as before she left she just had to explain to everyone why she was gone for a while and it was not for the family problems she used as an excuse for leaving since producers didn't let the contestant say where they were going i have a family friend as well who was on antm cycle three she was one of the first ones out because she didn't want to get naked for a photo shoot i've never heard her speaking of the show she was never too into modelling and didn't do it afterward either i was on season 19 of survivor i made it 31 days out of 39 i started at 173 pounds and got down to 156 i now weigh 205 210-ish when i got back home i wanted nothing more than to eat i would become like an angry dog if someone wanted to interact with me while i was eating if you entered my personal space while i was eating heaven help you i was on judge judy i got recognized at a bar the day after it aired that same night i ran into a guy that i had seen that same night on a dance competition show he was wearing the exact same outfit he wore on the show so that was weird i was like i just saw you on whatever show he says yes that's me i say my episode of judge judy aired today too we were both on tv today we bought each other drinks and then that was it not further contact not recognized after that one girl life was normal i had a friend who went on the weakest link the sucker won it i have never forgiven him all i wanted was to be able to say you are the weakest link goodbye for the rest of his natural life he couldn't even give me that i was hoping he lost so i could find out what happens when the floor drops i went to high school with that young kid that just got to the top 10 of american idol he got back and it was kind of business as usual when it came to friends except for he had three of four girls wrapped around his fingers now he would always end up playing guitar and singing at school events some of us liked it but most of our class didn't like it too much sorry if you're reading this you're really a nice guy he would also go around the district to play at a lot of middle schools to the people that would treat him like a rock star a friend of my brothers i only know him from one two meetings was on a reality tv home show called love it or list it but basically they interact with two hosts one of them renovates their house the other one looks for resale houses in their budget that would blow them away each host tries to beat the other in the end the couple decides if they will stay in their newly renovated house or if they will list their house and buy the resale home well it turns out that they film both endings one where the couple loves their new house and stays in it and another where the couple lists their house and moves my brother's friend didn't even know whether he loved it or listed it until he watched it on air since he didn't know which ending the producers would choose what a croc teacher of mine was on the tbs game show king of the nerds and also won jeopardy twice he's still the same chill guy and he is well liked at our school many kids now take ap world history just to be taught by him a friend of mine was on the voice she was very popular in the school and all the teachers and staff knew about it she would miss school months at a time for shooting and she couldn't tell us anything till the show aired blake shelton did turn his chair around for her and it was quite cool she said he was super cool to work with and whatnot cool just to know someone on a widely popular tv show she didn't get past the battle rounds and came back to school where she still performs at local events the coolest part was to see her song on itunes from the voice pretty dope if you ask me a buddy of mine was on survivor gabon made it pretty far like top four or something he still gets recognized often enough it's pretty weird he's also one of the greatest smash players of all time but pretty much everyone recognizes him from survivor not sure if you would consider this a major televised show but my best friend was on mtv's made back in 2005. she wanted to be miss lady at fair which was the town's annual town fair it was basically a beauty contest and my bookish friend wanted to break out of her bookish mold so the show producers got her a bunch of new fancy clothes hired a beauty contest winner miss america or some crap i don't remember had her work with a personal trainer and had her walk up to random people to try to strike up a friendship or something stupid like that one stunt involved her giving all of her favorite books to the owner of a tattoo shop the owner was instructed to try to make my friend as uncomfortable as possible after all this work she lost the beauty contest but one miscongeniality also they cast me as the jealous backstabbing boyfriend stealing friend which was obviously false the few weeks after the show aired it was pretty bad at school more for me than her we were in high school and our classmates were idiots so everyone thought i had betrayed her because of how the show edited crap together she walked away with the this was a positive experience attitude while i walked away whether i want to murder mtv and all of my idiot classmates for believing that bull's attitude that lasted a few months and by the next year most people had completely forgotten about it all of the popular girls who had befriended my friend in order to get on the show ignored her again she and i were still best friends and she went back to her bookish ways 10 years later both she and the guy i supposedly still have come out as gay she also stabbed me in the back and about the most dickish way possible which brought up all the nasty memories of how she didn't quite stand up for me when our classmates thought i betrayed her and she also provided the voice over for the episode that suggested i betrayed her so now she's number one on my crap list but for the most part that has little to do with the show and more with what she did to me many years later tl dr no one remembers or cares about the show everyone moved on with their lives wow that's pretty awful what did she do to backstab you the queens on rupaul's drag race all seem to get a huge boost in their careers even those who don't win just looking at social media following type of gig's book there is a huge difference in before and after look at adore delano who actually was also a contestant on american idol she is was on a huge world tour this might be a bit of an outlaw of a show though since the contestants are usually already established professional performers unlike say american idol a gta ntm act where the whole premise is based on having amateur contestants true that the queen's booking fee goes up but some do fade into obscurity for one reason or another i had a guy from my hometown make it pretty far on america's got talent back in 2011 maybe possibly 2012. he was a complete dong before and when he came back was even more of a dong massive inflated ego the town threw him a parade and i'm pretty sure the owner of a car dealership gave him a car it doesn't help my opinion that he would not leave my then girlfriend now wife alone he could have been a cool guy i just didn't like him i think he went on to write a few small songs but he hasn't made it big by any means he may not have made it at all the security guard for our office building went on who wants to be a millionaire he got stuck on a question and phoned a woman from the i.t department to answer it as she was an expert she got it wrong and he left with no money to make up for it she took him on a date but apparently it ended with the contestant punching a clown or something bit strange i was on america's funniest home videos as a baby i was in the top three and lost to a man playing his guitar on the toilet and a very patient dog i still won third place technically and one two thousand dollars i was only nine months old at a time so my parents kept the money i'm still waiting for it dad my grandma was on the prices right some years ago and lost in the showcase she was just super excited to be on the show ended up getting a 1998 ford taurus or something she sold a vacation to dc and a grand my younger brother's friend made it to the finals on agt she was only 10 at the time and the experience had more negative impact than good after she got home she was pretty famous and getting tons of offers she wasn't able to just be a kid anymore she was noticed places kids at school gave her a hard time she became depressed and stopped singing professionally she practices with my brother here and they plan on starting a band eventually but i think she just wants to lay low for a while i hope things work out because she is unbelievably talented seeing the situation play out gives me a much better understanding of child stars who go crazy once they grow up that level of pressure and fame is something no child should have to go through it robs them of childhood i used to work at a record label that released all of the albums done by people on my country's idol show when idol was in its prime honestly a lot of the losers ended up more successful than the winners a guy from my hometown was on big brother a few times once in like 2005 and then a few years ago where they brought back old contestants now he works at the movie theater and he'll sometimes ask if you want an autograph when you go to buy a ticket like now i just want to go see my movie it's kinda sad actually i hilariously bombed on wheel of fortune held a viewing party at a local bar for the premiere even though i knew it was gonna be bad it was bad did a few local radio interviews got a lot of fb hits from all kind of people months later my friends call me hollywood never quite reached international stardom like i had planned my co-worker was on the vh1 show real chance at love she got the gig because we was rejected for flavor of love but the producers thought she would be good for the other show she ended up leaving in the first episode but she didn't care she was only there for the chance at exposure and not for the chance at love i lost in the finals of the fourth grade spelling bee on the word meant meant m-e-n-t meant i think i was the first one up and it was the very first word of the entire contest and i blew it on stage and in front of a sizeable crowd i was crushed i walked back to my seat and sat down feeling deeply heartbroken a recurring theme that has dominated much of my life after the spelling bee had ended school was dismissed and the moment i saw my mom in the hallway i sobbed uncontrollably thanks for reminding me opie if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
