dgrant Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So, I heard a rumor here locally that the one other person in this small town, well known for his huge house and display, will be doing the show this year. I've not yet gone over to visit him to ask personally, so for now, just a rumor. Who else in here is lined up for this season, if you can say? For all I know, their rules might prevent telling anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbetgeorge Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There was a panel at the Christmas Expo about the show in July. From what I remember, they said the contestants had to stay silent until the network announced the contestants. I can't wait to see the show myself!

dgrant Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I suppose that makes total sense so they don't have tons of people there the night of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes, by contract they can't say anything and I am sure several on here will be on the show. Going to be a very bright year for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflights Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 "On its debut, “The Great Christmas Light Fight” delivered ABC’s highest total viewers in the time period in five years and improved 17% over the prior year in total viewers and Adults 18-49 during its three-week run." - ABC Press ReleaseWhat's the takeaway on this? As we all already know, people like lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Messer Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yep, Hard to compete against money but there is one that I am waiting to see it if he can pull it off. I am sure his will be a great display this year. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackchecker Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hate to say it but....

eurbani Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My kids and I did three skype interviews with the producers. Apparently, we were not selected. From what I could tell by the questions, it is as much about the family as the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goduke21 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I can say that I'm one of the ones who didn't add anything for the show. If you look at my website my display was the same for the show as it was in 2012. But I'm sure there was a lot of people that did add stuff for the show.

Liberty-Laser Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 An ABC spokeswoman had contacted me by phone & through email this past Spring/Summer. After a long discussion with my wife, we declined. Too disruptive to us and our neighborhood. Besides, after seeing most (not all) of the winners last year, I don't have that much time and money to compete at that level. Would have been fun though.

Large crane and so on for his 50 foot megatree. He wasn't there or else I would have talked to him but to be safe, I didn't stop to ask questions of anyone else.
