GET OUT.
GTFO
So, before it was called “Shahs of Sunset,” Ryan Seacrest had coined the name “the Persian Version” and auditions for it were happening during Spring 2010. I know a lot of people who auditioned, actually. One of my friends was super stoked to audition, because he wanted to show the world “who Iranians really were.” When he got to the studios, they asked him if he yells at girls, dates around, and on average, how many hours he spends at the gym. He left the interview pretty angry, and he wasn’t the only one. So the studios started getting desperate, because they had scared away all these legitimate candidates for their reality TV show. They started asking the few people that’d trickle in to audition for their friends’ contact info. So that’s how they got my number. This girl named Naz thought I’d be “perfect” for the show and handed them my personal cell phone number.
They called me during a study group meeting for my Anthropology final.
I declined.
Note: that’s probably why everyone on the show now is connected in some way. It’s likely that one of them auditioned and referred the rest of them.
Accurate.
