For the record, I have a tox clause to commit suicide if 5 members of my college quiz bowl team get on Jeopardy before I do. We are now at 4.

Riptor posted:Just got my first callback ever, in 10 years of trying out! Huge thanks to GhostStalker for the contestant coordinator's email, I can't imagine that hurt! Congrats! Good luck on the audition! That was a rather quick turnaround for audition invites, since it's only been what, a month, since the online test? I took mine in January 2013 and didn't hear back until mid March for an audition on May 1st. Guess its because they had the test late this year and it's coming up on their season break when they aren't taping episodes, so they need to schedule the auditions around then, to allow the Contestant Coordinators time to go to the audition sites and conduct them during those breaks. Remember though, it's only the next stage, you still need to do well enough on another test and then look good on camera before you might get a call-up. Still, congrats on making it into the pool! Maybe you'll make it through on your first try, like I did. I know there are people here who have been in the pool before though, some multiple times, so it isn't guaranteed that you'll make it. But I really hope you do! jscolon2.0 posted:For the record, I have a tox clause to commit suicide if 5 members of my college quiz bowl team get on Jeopardy before I do. We are now at 4. Well, unless you're not talking about Riptor here, I need to remind you that he only got an invitation to an audition, being placed in the pool, not a guaranteed slot for a taping. You'll get there eventually, I hope. How many times have you been in the pool anyway, since it looks like you've been trying for a while... Hope my Contestant Coordinator email helped... How's Beverly doing after her appearance, anyway? GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 06:32 on May 12, 2015 |

Celebrity Jeopardy is pretty terrible, but I did enjoy seeing "Mr. wonderful" get destroyed, and Aaron Rodgers won so I feel good about it. He was crazy fast on the buzzer, he should be a professional athlete.

A little peeved that Aaron didn't get the other Cal grads, but you don't have to be the sharpest to win, just better than the other contestants. 50 Gs for kids!

They still left an entire category on the board during Jeopardy, they were moving so slowly. Picked it up a bit during Double, but there were still a couple clues left on the board that round as well... Aaron Rodgers was good on the buzzer, but a couple of really wrong answers by him (and others) had me shaking my head, especially that IBM answer on the first Daily Double of Double Jeopardy. At least they found all the Daily Doubles before both rounds ended, as leaving them on the board would've made me feel even more terrible about the quality of play. Then again, the celebrities playing weren't exactly picked for their smarts. Surprised Mark Kelly didn't get the Ceres clue, seeing as how he's an astronaut, even remarking that he would've answered Pluto after Kevin O'Leary missed it... But I guess that would be more under Astronomy than the career trajectory that Kelly had. Kevin O'Leary got destroyed, giving a couple of obviously wrong answers, like the carbon dating one. I thought the Final category would be more his cup of tea, but it wasn't. I didn't get the right answer either, didn't know that Harley and Davidson were two different people from the naming of their company. Should've guessed though. Thought about the Wright brothers as well, thinking about their bicycle shop instead of motorcycles instead, like O'Leary did... All of them squinting to try to see the picture better on the Final Jeopardy monitor was amusing, though. Still it's all for charity, so I can turn down my competitive viewing side for a week...

Did O'Leary really misspell "wonderful" in his name, or was the second L just an exclamation point and I need a better TV? Also my favourite dumb O'Leary answer other than Pluto being in the Asteriod Belt was New Jersey apparently being a city.

Cpt. Mahatma Gandhi posted:Celeb always moves slow because the interviews are like twice as long Yeah, that makes sense. Still didn't expect them to leave an entire category on the board during Jeopardy, though. Looked like a business category too, so it might've helped "Mr. Wonderful" out, but by the way he couldn't get to the buzzer in time and the silly answers he gave on some clues, it probably wouldn't have helped all that much...

Yeah, O'Leary finishing in the negatives, getting money given to him and then losing it all again will be the high point of this week's Celebrity Jeopardy.

They answered four questions in a category about the five senses. Each answer was actually one of the five senses. That last question might as well have been "First person to ring in gets free money."

Was it just me, or was Trebek's audio off this episode? Sounded like he had a cold or something, but it might just be my old CRT TV converter box acting up or something like that. I had no idea on Final, but Bellamy cleaned up, so she didn't need it.

The Human Cow posted:He's sounded pretty rough all week, I think. Didn't sound that way tonight though... Penn Jillette looked pretty gaunt though. He just go through some major weight loss or something? Him calling the category "Bullshit" was hilarious though, as was his near freakout when he almost missed that Daily Double in Double Jeopardy because he answered Moby Dick first and then corrected to Ahab before Alex could rule him wrong. The whole thing with him answering Stephen Fry after he ran out of time was pretty fun to watch as well. Again, an untouched category in Jeopardy and they didn't get to the second Daily Double in Double Jeopardy, but good on Penn Jillette for getting the win. Had no idea on Final; been doing pretty poorly on them throughout this week... Zach Quinto bet big, and it burned him.

I guess Alex doesn't know the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, otherwise he probably wouldn't have made that comment about the last category of the Jeopardy round... Since Charlie, Oscar, Whiskey, Sierra = COWS in NATO Phonetic. Guess that's just JROTC training rubbing off on me, to the point where I was yelling at the screen when Uniform and November were triple stumpers. Also, that Final was cake. Frankfurt am Main and all that.
