Athletes, gymnasts, dancers, cheerleaders and anyone interested in this gig should submit a cover letter, resume and photograph via email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Select applicants will be invited to the first day on Friday, Feb. 4, at which time they will demonstrate their athletic prowess through a group run, man a t-shirt gun and show off their best rally techniques. Those who survive will be asked back for the second round on Saturday, Feb. 5, when they will be asked to complete a questionnaire and appear before an interview panel.
