Jeff, Please put me on the show...

To Whom It May Concern:

Hi! I'm Markos "KOS" Hurtt, from Columbia, South Carolina, and given the opportunity, I will win the million dollars and earn the title of Sole Survivor. I have applied a few times in the past, and will continue to apply for as long as the show goes on, but I don't think I've been more prepared for the adventure than I am now. Recently, the website has been giving me trouble with accepting the application so I hope this works in the meantime.

I'm 28 years old and live somewhat of a "No Collar" life. I am a DJ for special events, and I wait tables at my favorite local restaurant. I've spent 10+ years in the Hip Hop scene, and continue to host monthly shows for local artists. As a service industry worker, I am a provider, and someone who operates under the radar. As a DJ for special events, I read the room and control the atmosphere, and with events like weddings, where you only get one shot to get it right, there is no room for error. I've written this song to show how serious I am about going on Survivor. All my friends know how badly I want to go on the show. 

If y'all put me on the show, I'll write a second verse! And If I win, I plan on starting up my own restaurant/karaoke bar called Family Gathers, and every Wednesday Night will be Survivor Night with Survivor on the big screen. It's a big world, and I want to see it, but that will come with taking risks and a certain level of willpower and dedication and a little bit of luck. I hope you enjoy the song. Say it with me:1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 for my city, and 4, YALL KNOW KOS!
See y'all soon, hopefully!

Below are the lyrics:

Life at 28 is pretty great, but I'm not content
Wish I was on my favorite show like Boston Rob and Spence
I'm a DJ living life without a collar
I'm a healer; I'm a lover. I'm a fighter undercover
Wanna know what I'm playing for?
A million dollars and the Title
I'm a game changer, working round the ring leaders
And I can come up from the bottom
But I gotta Outwit, Outplay, Outlast
I'm a castaway not an outcast
One of a kind if you come where I'm from
I'm the steel to the flint, and now I'm striking the stone
I've got the fire
It's always been inside of me
I'll take you higher
So everyone I know can see
That I'm digging deeper
To find the strength I've never had
I'm a Survivor, and all I need's one chance
---KOS

I Got The Fire - KOS (Survivor on CBS Application)

Hosts Josh and Jamie celebrate the holidays by discussing the 1984 California Christmas genre-bending cult cinema of Thom Eberhardt with a double feature of his pop-rock B-movie mix of post-apocalyptic science-fiction, zombie survival action-horror, and 80s consumerism satire/new wave teen girl hangout movie in NIGHT OF THE COMET and his moody high-concept slow-burn sci-fi horror film SOLE SURVIVOR that may or may not have inspired FINAL DESTINATION.

361 - NIGHT OF THE COMET (1984) + SOLE SURVIVOR (1984)

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.
