TruTV’s hit reality show All Worked Up is casting season 3! We’re looking for out-going and dynamic Bond Enforcement/Fugitive Recovery Agents who keep it cool while working a truly tough job!

All Worked Up is a documentary-style series that will feature a group of out-going and dynamic characters, all working in challenging jobs that consistently test their patience, will power and sanity! As part of our search, we’re looking for the ultimate Bounty Hunter to take part in this exciting new series to show us what it takes to stay tough and in control while making sure rules are followed. We’re looking for out-going folks who are passionate and proud of what they do and are willing to show us the ropes when it comes to their job and what it takes to succeed when things get tough. The documentary-style show would profile these individuals over the course of a week and would focus on the job from their point of view. All of the people we feature are the “good guys” or heroes in each episode.

I think you should talk to the Bounty Boys out of Oklahoma City. I believe they would shed a great light on the industry and I can only think of very few others who would make all Fugitive Recovery Agents look good.

I have seen this show "All worked Up" a few times, and honestly believe this show has got to be just as bad as that show called "Operation Repo" where every scenario seems to be set up and staged and poorly acted out..where the people are made to look like retards and fools..

The show is a re-enactment of "on the job" daily run ins with repossession agents, process servers, code enforcement agents, traffic cops, bouncers, security guards and others who work in jobs that can end up in conflict situations when dealing with angry people.

"All worked up" is just the show we all need to have for the public and Law Enforcement to think this is what we really do everyday ---- NOT ! .... this will be another show that will be slapping the Bail Bondsman / Bounty Hunter profession in the face and giving us a really bad name and making us look more like circus clowns then Dog's Show does, if not worse...

I cant wait to see which Bail Bond Company or Bounty Hunter is going to commit business suicide and sign up to be featured on this show.. ! Im sure Dog's application has already been sent in..

I thought about signing up but I don't have a pair of "dress" tactical sandals and it is too cold right now for my tactical shorts... I do have several pairs of 5.11 underwear... but they are 'blaze orange' so you can see them if you have your pants down in the woods...
Image WHAT? You thought I was joking... that's me... a bit younger however.... :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: LuVonda... stop smiling.... 8)
... I would have to purchase another 'clorox' pistol and I haven't been able to find a good one since Walmart stopped carrying the 'supersoaker'... they proved too dangerous for the 20 to 30 age group.... they kept slipping and falling down in the parking lot... I tried to learn how to ride a horse for the show but I ran out of quarters and the ride only lasted 2 minutes so I couldn't get enough schooling... and besides, I couldn't keep my feet in the stirrups...

I haven't been able to find a magnetic sign that will fit on the side of my Harley...

Well, I guess I will just have to let one of the other "professionals' on here take the job.... mmmmm.... Marshall??? Scott.... Gene... Tony.... ???? Hey........ how bout 'Rex'!!!! or maybe Tamo or Madi.... or Angela... or hey, how bout that old 'stick in the mud' from Tennessee.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

No thanks! I already had my 15 minutes of fame. Besides, I am about as exciting as watching paint dry on a rainy day.

I really did think about signing up but it occured to me that this is a "re-enactment of real experiences". I would not want to loose control over the facts and, being that this show is "for entertainment purposes", the facts would surely be changed. Just like when "The Worlds Hardest Bopunty Hunters" were looking for agents to follow in Georgia....though thaese were shot live....I did not want to loose control of a controlable situation. I mean, how hard must it be to "sneak up" on a defendant, with cameras shining all around you. Knowing what ended up happening with the Georgia season of WHBH, I am glad I did not end up involved.

Operation Repo has roots in "real life". The idea is to take a real situation and reenact it for TV. Then there is the entertainment side. If the scenario is not expounded on, there would not be enough entertainment to keep people watching, rating would drop, everyone looses money, and the show gets canceled so the execs loose more money. Everyone on the show were, at one time, licensed Repo Agents. Over time, everyone let creditials laps, except for Lou (the owner). He is still current in california (the last I checked, about a year ago). Then there is Matt...Matt, Matt, Matt....Who has never been licensed and has appeared in a few workout videos. Matt is an actor.

The same idea has been used for "All Worked Up". Use real life experiences and make it entertaining. The problem becomes when the enetertainment outweighs the truth or validaty of the scenario and/or occupation. When serving, why call ahead or announce yourself? Just hand them the papers, in passing, then tell them what your there for. In repo, same thing; don't announce why you are there before you have possession. That is asking for drama. It is all about the entertainment value. If people are not going to watch, the show is not going to be aired for lack of value. The truth behind these industries will not "entertain" enough for the masses to keep tuning in....so it gets stretched and skewed.
