Top Affiliate Challenge update

I just finalized the details to be one of the three gurus on Top Affiliate Challenge, the web's first real-time reality show for internet marketers. Each team on TAC is going to sell real products from real affiliate networks to real customers for real commissions. 12 contestants will make it on the show, and I will be personally coaching 4 of them. Thor Schrock was at Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas yesterday courting John Chow as one of the other gurus. Rumor has it that he is on board, but I haven't heard anything official yet. This show's episodes should offer a lot more than Next Internet Millionaire did. Each episode will be about 30 minutes long and will mostly consist of gurus and contestants explaining what they are doing and executing their strategies. The teams will compete for earnings, but the contestants will also be competing for safety from elimination and some pretty cool prizes too. It's going to borrow a lot of elements from existing successful reality formats and put it together for the web. Auditions for the show open up on March 1st at the Top Affiliate Challenge website. To audition, you have to submit a video to the site saying why you want to be on the show. The show will air 14 episodes in July with a 24-hour tape delay. I'm pretty pumped to be a part of this because its a huge branding opportunity for us and I hear their might be a couple $10,000 championship rings up for grabs too. So do you think you are going to try out?
