A lot of people don't want to be outed on a public message board. If Bob has private information, I hope MRooney agreed to having it posted here.

I'm not sure how Bob would know it if MRooney himself hadn't told him. Also, it appears that he has logged on today, so I would feel safe in assuming that he probably PMed Bob.

Although I wouldn't go so far as to say clearly.....

He did. I specifically asked that question before I posted. --Bob

Newbie here. I was at the Cleveland audition 7/14/10. Comment about reuse of test questions. Not only are questions reused, entire tests are reused. When WWTBAM was doing auditions in Cleveland (I think fall 2006) I failed the test. Later that fall, I went to NYC to attend a taping and take the test again. I could not believe it! It was the SAME test I had previously failed. I have taken the test 14 times, passed 12 and failed twice....both on the same test. Now a "smart" person might have researched some of the questions but who would of thought the test would be given again....and that I would be there on that day, that time!

Finally broke down and joined you guys a while back. Love the Bored. Early 2000s knew some of these names...
Auditioned in NYC May 24th, didn't pass.
Auditioned in NYC June, passed, rec'd 'no thanks'; both tests were same, just somewhat rearranged.
Decided to audition one last time in Cleveland, July 14th. Completely different test, more difficult than NYC test (IMO). Also had movie test. Passed both, did not have blue screen test. 5-6 of my (we were first group @ 7 am)group did have BST. Approx. 350 testers in my group. Sat by really nice lady who passed and had blue screen test. Waiting to hear...WML!
The folks from WWTBAM were just awesome. Very kind, accommodating. Everyone walked with armloads of T-shirts (gave me three) along with the traditional magnets and pencils. Great experience.

Duh. Got distracted. I checked my handy Amex and the May test date was the 25th. Didn't pass.
The June test date was the 9th. Passed, card was a 'no, thanks' :(

Merlinsma, got the sad card today. You can add her to the list. I think this is her 5th sad card.

That's too bad. Didn't she also have a 2nd video taped interview this time?

She did indeed have a taped interview that she thought went well. She wrote, " They both laughed and seemed like they liked me." Oh well. I guess she was too New Yorkish. Too mawgish. And she has a job. LOL.

Oh, and the BPTB, she applied for reinstatement on the bored under the merlinsma handle.
