Goddammit I love this show and they're a bunch of jerks for not accepting me on it. I've taken the test basically every time I've been able to for the last ten years and done really well and they never call me :mad:

I've taken about 4 of the online tests. Made it past the initial written part of the college screening when it was on campus. Do not do this. I don't want this to come off as sounding like I should have gotten on. I played on the Academic Challenge team and will readily admit that most of my schoolmates were far brighter. A handful of my friends can beat me on any day in trivia. However, I have one friend who has tried every single Jeopardy entrance test that he was able to do. Every one. It drives him mad. It is his white whale.

Yeah, this is me. So angry

This 1920s newsflash category is annoying as gently caress and takes too long

I hate when they don't finish all the clues in a round

EDIT: what the gently caress was with Alex recapping a geico commercial for NO reason

The category was something about what the "i" word was in the various clues that were all acronyms and such. Her clue was "BVI", there had already been a few clues from the category played to establish that the answers were all words beginning with "i", and she answered "virgin" instead of "islands"

You kind of had to see it. She was off to a great start then missed that one, handled it really awkwardly, then proceeded to completely fall apart for the rest of the episode.

I would have more sympathy for her if it didn't take her upwards of three days to choose a category every time it was her choice

Just got to LA, checked into my hotel room. Can't wait until I meet Alex tomorrow and hopefully get on camera, on my way to establishing a win streak lasting at least 5 episodes.

Checking over my emails from Jeopardy before I left a couple days ag,, I noticed that they actually gave me a tentative air date which I had somehow looked over. I'm slated to air sometime in the next to last week of June to July 4th...

Yeah, that's gonna be a really long wait... I'll keep you guys updated on here when I have more information. Wish me luck!

If your episode might air July 4th you probably want to bone up on American history questions

Well, you always bet to win. A lot of people watching the show were aggrieved over her bet in Final...

I just don't get why (unless it's an Arthur Chu/Ken Jennings/Julia Collins situation) you'd be rooting for a particular person who you don't know, and feel so slighted when they gently caress up

Congrats! Good luck on the audition!

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

Oh totally, I'm just thrilled to have finally made it one step further. Way I look at it I'm pumped to go to the audition, and I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of that experience. Making it past that would just be a crazy bonus.
