Thanks guys
And thank you very much Karen. They edited us very well and cut out quite a lot of the judges comments, making it look overall like an entirely positive experience. There near the end a couple of the judges were giving some no so favorable comments and they edited quite a bit of Measha's laughing and I think that's when we started looking a little more bummed out, but we knew halfway through our act we weren't going through.
We had been in the studio for 8 1/2 hours by this point, and we were actually seperated from the rabbits for a large portion of this time. They were in the dressing room as some of the other contestants might have had allergies, although I think it may have been better for them as they had a private place to chill and it was quiet and they weren't too far away, it just made us uncomfortable being in a different room. We did our interviews and met some of the other acts (Which, amazingly, they hardly showed any from our night. In fact, the old gentlemen in the shiny suit and Terrance (The drag queen) are the only one from our night I recall seeing) before finally getting to go on stage.
We did our pre-interview with Dina and then they had us stand in front of the stage lights waiting to be announced, which was awful because those things were giving off a LOT of heat and they were getting annoyed when I kept backing up and saying that Babbitty couldn't be in front of them.
Then we went out and it was just as hot out there and when our time came, the music was LOUD. Like, feel it vibrating in your rib cage loud and we knew then that the act wasn't going to go well.
But overall, it turned out to be a good experience, I just think that had we have known a few things we would have done it different, and if we ever tried again we would not have music as I think that was the major thing that had them freaked.
It was quite the pick me up to have so many people supporting us from the audience and it was a REAL pleasure when the only boo we got was when the judges started saying no. It was such a roller coaster of emotion I'm shocked I didn't start just bawling on stage, no joke.
Thanks so much for the kind words
I do think people will learn more about bunnies from this and know that they ARE capable of being amazing and what lovely personalities they have, which was our goal.
We already have a few people e-mailing us and telling us how good we did and a few people wanting to join, so it's been great. I'm glad the response from the public has been positive as well, we were worried what kind of lash there would be from them.
