How much money would someone have to pay you to be on this show??? These are the characters from Australia's #1 Children's Show, Hi5. Why wouldn't they get kids to perform on this show instead of 20-something trade school drop outs? My personal recommendation would be a 14 and under age requirement to even apply for the show. The labor would be cheaper and the victims would still have a good 5 or 10 years before they were considered adults. That should be plenty of time to change their identity and re-emerge into normal society.Think about the kids who use to be on Barney - you probably wouldn't recognize them if you passed them on the street. On the flip side; consider that derelict of a grown man who was on Blues Clues. I bet he is wearing that striped polo and walking the streets of New York looking for his dignity. Sorry about your luck, Steve, but you did pawn off your self respect to a cartoon dog.
I get the appeal of being on a TV show. I admit, I even thought about applying for The Real World when I was in college and my life was SOOOOO interesting. HA! What a joke. But seriously though - I grew up in Florida where every kid wanted to be on the Mickey Mouse Club and a few of my friends even tried out. I recognized my lack of singing and/or dancing abilities early on in life and knew my best shot was landing a spot on a Nickelodean game show. (When I say "landing a spot", that really translates into "being picked at random.") Regardless of how I was picked, I just know that I voluntarily sat in a chair (on national television) and got whacked in the face with 5 whipped cream pies. Who thinks that is a good idea? Don't worry, I have since moved to the other side of the world to avoid public humiliation. Take it from me, Hi5....get out now while you can!!!!

I would do it for $50k, maybe less - however I've had the acting bug for a couple decades.
