| | This is where it all started: The Rose Bowl - Gate A | |
| | | On Saturday night they packed us together like sardines in a can | |
| | | Over 3,000 people slept outside for the next few days | |
|
| | Security was all over the place | |
| | | Sunday morning gives you a better idea of the madness | |
| |
| | It was early in the morning for a lot of these people | |
| | | The line just keeps going and going and going... | |
| | | Setting up the caution tape. This guy gave me a funny look. | |
|
| | | That line is still going... | |
| | | An artsy shot at the Rose Bowl | |
|
| | I had a lot of time on my hands | |
| | | The ladies dig this stuff | |
| | | Here's a better look at the entrance | |
|
| | The morning of the tryout. Four hours before the auditions | |
| | | Christine, Orianna and Abe | |
| | | They took us around the Rose Bowl and into this tent | |
|
| | Here's the disclaimer to give our lives away | |
| | | | It was definitely a circus inside | |
|
| | Marinda and Rika: These ladies made the experience worthwhile | |
| | |
| | Rika's mama: Mrs. Heads and Me | |
| | | Abe, Tiffany, Phil and Jamison. Anxiously waiting | |
| |
| | A chocolate covered banana...just the way I like it. | |
| | |
| | Orianna, Christine and Abe | |
| | | I don't remember any of their names, but we played Bop It! | |
| |
| Can you say...SLAMMIN! These were the four people that auditioned with me | |
| | | These two guys were helping to run the show | |
| | | This is what I looked at right before I left for my audition | |
|
| | The waiting room for a chance to be famous | |
| | | People hugging and crying after they got dissed | |
| | | The hallway I waited in before my first round tryout | |
