Eligibility

Say ABC likes you — then you need to also be eligible to compete.

Eligible contestants aren't running for political office, are US citizens, have a passport, are 21 years old, and are single ("no monogamous dating relationship more than two months in duration" before filming). You also can't have an STD (you'll be tested!), a felony or misdemeanor conviction, or any restraining orders against you.

Contestants also cannot be affiliated in any way with the following companies: NZK Productions, Next Entertainment, American Broadcasting Companies, The Walt Disney Company, Telepictures Productions, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Time Warner, the list goes on. Oh, and neither can your family or anyone you may live with.
