Well, heck, that describes most of the people here.

Committing two weeks is not so easy for the average person....but other than that, smart, trivia wise, nerves of steel folks willing to win a huge jackpot are a dime a dozen around here.

I have seen the ad.

To paraphrase GWB: It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment about an active ongoing investigation. I will have more to say about this topic at the proper time.

I thought that Steve Beverly's site said that one of the requirements was no game show experience within the last five years. --Bob

It pains me to see "5th Grader" mentioned in the same breath as WWTBAM and J!.

OK, so I went to the site, and found this:

Are you a trivia buff who can stare down an opponent “mano a mano”?

Yes.

Do you have what it takes to react shrewdly yet quickly under pressure?

Yes.

Are you a confident, charismatic game lover who can craftily outsmart your competitor?

Confident, yes. Charismatic, most definitely not. Craftily outsmart competitors? Maybe.

Do you have a defining characteristic that sets you above the rest?

Uh, oh - looks like it's slipping away.

Do you bring the party everywhere you go?

Not in the slightest.

<sigh> Oh, well...
