  HOLLYWOOD, CA, Feb 12 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Delivering the whole enchilada to reality TV fans, contestant hopefuls, and
industry casting directors, RealityWanted.com re-launched this month as a
new-fangled "supersite."  Brimming with heaps of casting calls, casting director
profile information, reality gossip and all things reality television,
RealityWanted.com is attracting the masses in droves, exponentially, on a daily
basis.

    RealityWanted.com, originally launched by Mark Yawitz and Jason Oropallo
ofAcme Casting, LLC in 2004, is the first stop for anyone interested in
reality television. With the latest casting calls, reality TV news,
realitystar interviews, industry event photos, blogging, and discussion boards
--
there is no other source dedicated completely to reality television.

    "I am a big fan of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, so
wedecided to combine social networking aspects with reality TV casting," states
Mark
Yawitz, Co-Founder of RealityWanted.com.

    There's no standing in long "open call" audition lines at RealityWanted.com.
 Members can sign up to receive the hottest casting calls in their inbox, as
they
are announced.  Everyone can take advantage of the site's new elaborate friend
networking system, featuring personal pages showcasing their interests, talent,
skills and experience through videos, photos and personal profiles.  Casting
directors browse, search and find the talent they are looking for in one
stop. In fact, RealityWanted.com is the first place major network Reality TV
castingdirectors go when searching for their talent.

    "Mark and I decided several years back that there was a void in the
castingarena so we decided to fill it. With the popularity of Reality TV over
the
last several years we realized people were looking for a website that
wouldhelp them get on TV," states Jason Oropallo, Co-Founder of
RealityWanted.com. "We can't promise you will get on a show, we just want to
get you in front of the right casting director making the decision. Reality TV
has
become a part of many households these days, so we are lucky to be involved in
something that we love."

    Not only is Mark Yawitz a Reality TV buff and industry tastemaker, but he
has a much deeper appreciation for the genre. With the new season launch
ofCBS' "Big Brother 9," Yawitz recently spent a long twelve hours in the
"BigBrother" house with other Reality TV world journalists.  Inside the
bubble,Yawitz competed with the other journalists for head of household, power
of
veto and more. Watch the video to see what happens!
