It is interesting to have wanted something for so long and now have it behind me. I feel like Inigo, I have been in the revenge business so long, I don't know what else to do. Off to become the Dread Pirate Roberts.

But...you asked TPTB if you could tell your friends that you were going to tape an episode and They. Said. No.
From the good old days when we celebrated the entire tension-filled process, from being OTC after a successful Phone Game or from going through an audition, to getting The Call and lining up PAFs, to rooting for contestants during their taping day, perhaps with some brief, non-spoilerish updates from the PAF team getting on deck and stand down calls, now we're down to "tune in and find out" after a contestant has already taped. Way to kill the excitement, TPTB.
And, for the record, the Bored was always good about not discussing game play. It's not like we're guilty of violating their rules.

Re: 2010 Audition List
Way to miss the point, Nattering.
Why don't you go off and talk to yourself--I mean, to a couple dozen of your MM friends--and leave this conversation to real people who still have an interest in this little game show.

LOL!
Sorry, but unlike a certain erstwhile poster, I don't hold conversations among my MM's. They exist for humor and/or to help drive home a point, and I don't think NNoN missed his, regardless of what you may think.....

Hi, sorry for not replying for three weeks; makes it hard to build real conversational momentum. I will try next summer if there is one; can't stomach the thought of sitting through another taping this year only to get the same interviewer.Rainbow9286 wrote:Yes, that was me!

As you may have noticed, I also auditioned on October 1, during the second wave. Any chance that I met you? --Bob

Re: 2010 Audition List
I auditioned in the first group of the morning in L.A. I passed both tests (which was a complete fluke since I'm not a movie buff). I found this bored through "Ulysses" after I posted my happy card on Facebook. I met "Ulysses" while going thought the audition process for Million Dollar Mind Game and joined him and his team for pub trivia night a few times in Santa Ana.
The bored has been very insightful.

Re: 2010 Audition List
Sounds like you finished the callback process before my 1:30 callback time arrived. We're looking forward to your getting The Call. --BobTechDiva wrote:I auditioned in the first group of the morning in L.A. I passed both tests (which was a complete fluke since I'm not a movie buff). After lunch when we had the callbacks, I was called right away to the side tables and ended up being the first person to video an interview that day.

Re: 2010 Audition List
I auditioned today and passed the test. I did not get the video interview. Though I may have left before everyone's first interviews finished, I probably don't recall any specific person getting a video interview.

Re: 2010 Audition List
First, because I neglected to add myself to the audition list, I auditioned in Vegas on July 12.
Here's a MDMG-style question I came up with for our team for anyone who enjoys them:
They first appeared in the 1970's in red and blue colors, followed by a green one in the 80's and a unique purple version in 2002. One of the originals sold at auction a few years ago for $200,000, but millions of inexpensive replicas are in active use worldwide. What are these items?
Cool! I got roped into a MDMG audition by a friend who knew I'd been on Jeopardy! and ended up having a great time -- we were the computer nerds, natch. I didn't hear back but I certainly won't complain.TechDiva wrote:I auditioned in the first group of the morning in L.A. I passed both tests (which was a complete fluke since I'm not a movie buff). I found this bored through "Ulysses" after I posted my happy card on Facebook. I met "Ulysses" while going thought the audition process for Million Dollar Mind Game and joined him and his team for pub trivia night a few times in Santa Ana.

I assume you got the video audition, but I'd appreciate your confirming that. When was your tape date? --Bobzachbaker wrote:First, because I neglected to add myself to the audition list, I auditioned in Vegas on July 12.

Re: 2010 Audition List
Yes, that's right, I did get a video audition.
I taped on September 28. Apparently because it was a rough tape date for the contestants, those shows got broken up into three parts (11/17, 11/25 and 12/7-9).
