CBS has just released applications online at CBS.com for their three big reality shows:
Survivor,
Big Brother, and
The Amazing Race. CBS, as far as I can tell, releases these applications with little fanfare, seemingly so they aren't overwhelmed with excess audition tapes and applications. Here are the links:

Forget about applying to the Amazing race unless your name is "Tyler" or your friends with somebody in cast...
There are also a number of open casting calls that you can attend in person. The dates, locations and times of these can be found on the application pages. I've always wanted to apply for
The Amazing Race or
Survivor; maybe I'll do both. If you can't make one of the open casting calls (which is likely), then, to apply, you must make a short video of yourself and send it in to the producers.
I don't know what the key to making these videos is, or what exactly producers are looking for (it certainly helps if you're good-looking), because every season of every show is different. I'm guessing that
The Amazing Race is a little easier to get onto than
Survivor, if only for the mere fact that less people apply for
The Amazing Race.
If recent seasons are any indication, if you're applying to be on
Big Brother, you're going to need to be young and very attractive.
