Good Luck RB!! Take it down for us Marylanders! I hope your PAF doesn't sell you out though.

I forgot to mention, I'm allowed to reveal that the ATE for Monday-Wednesday was Ashleigh Banfield. Thursday-Friday got Ogi Ogas.

I'm glad we finally get to see your episode, after a mere eight months of waiting!

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
For the first time in a very long time I missed two WWTBAM's in a week. (Tuesday's I forgot to record and Friday's was pre-empted by some guys skating around on ice hitting a black disk).
It did not bother me as much as it would have bothered me in the past.
Will watch Monday.

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
I looked up Ashleigh Banfield, and think her reporting background might lead her to be a pretty good ATE. We'll see this week!MarleysGh0st wrote:Ashleigh who?Rafferty Barnes wrote:I forgot to mention, I'm allowed to reveal that the ATE for Monday-Wednesday was Ashleigh Banfield.

As for waiting eight months, I bet Rafferty knows ALL about that!

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
If memory serves, this will be Ashleigh Banfield's second go-round as the ATE. I think she did reasonably well the first time around. --BobMarleysGh0st wrote:Ashleigh who?Rafferty Barnes wrote:I forgot to mention, I'm allowed to reveal that the ATE for Monday-Wednesday was Ashleigh Banfield.

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
I went home and watched at lunch today.
You were delightful!
But I won't say anything now about the game.
Just glad I went home to watch.

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
Ms. Banfield seems to be extremely intelligent and does pretty well and I would prefer her over many other ATEs (read: Jim Cramer) but I think I would prefer one of the more trivia rounded past contestants than an expert in a field who may not know the category that comes up. I don't know either one personally so this is just a general assumption I made.peacock2121 wrote:not mePhil Ken Sebbin wrote:Aww man.

Great job, Megan! You were a pleasure to watch, as it looked like you were having a ball.
So . . . did you replace the futon?

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
OK, just watched my first episode of SyndieBAM ever..... it was a little painful to see the things about the show that have changed since PTBAM, and I just do not like Mere at all as host.......
But that said, I enjoyed playing Rafferty's stack!!!!!

Don't go here until you see the show!
And I was even nihil obstat up until, don't tell ES, the painters question! I immediately excluded Seurat like the expert did, and was reasonably certain it was not Magritte as well. I wish you'd have gone with your gut and DD'ed A & B, but oh well..... congrats on your win!!! You were very fun to watch, and I now have a voice to put with the words in chat!!!
Woohoo to AD as well!
Oh, and now I can proudly say I lost my SyndieBAM virginity to Rafferty!!!

Great job on the show today. There was an article about you in the Rochester paper. We drove thru Victor yesterday on our way to Finger Lakes Gaming in Canandaigua. Thought of you.

If only Ashleigh Banfield had used me as her phone-a-friend...I am a fan of Klimt. He used that gold leaf to conjure the look of golden mosaics found in Byzantine art.
Once again, congratulations Megan.

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferty Barnes!
I had totally forgotten today was your big day, so when I saw your face, I was like, "oh yeah... Rafferty Barnes is playing!"

You've done us proud... not a bad performance at all. Enjoy the $16K!
