Article about upcoming SyndieBAM contestant

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Thu Oct 25, 2007 7:27 am

Anita Miller, a bartender from Chambersburg, PA, will enter the Hot Seat on Monday.

http://www.herald-mail.com/?module=disp ... ormat=html
Miller, 30, said she has always enjoyed watching shows like "Jeopardy!" and "Millionaire," but had never considered applying until a customer mentioned how easy it was.

The audition process involved taking a 30-question multiple choice test and attending an interview with the producers in Manhattan. A few weeks later, Miller got a postcard saying she'd been selected for the contestant pool.

That's when she started watching the show on TV religiously - and getting nervous.
Again a contestant who had to get the idea of auditioning from someone else...and who apparently didn't watch the show "religiously" until after she got the Happy Card. :|




BTW, Pea, I used Google Alerts to find this story. Two little problems: the newpaper had apparently changed the URL for the story and I don't like that the e-mail from Google doesn't list the date and time for the articles with their links as they do when you do a Google News search manually.

Sorry - I didn't scroll all the way down.

You answered my question differently than I would have answered the same kinda question from you. I woulda said:

I guess you didn't scroll all the way down my original post and then I woulda copied what I had typed.

You made me work for it.

Maybe I'll change my ways and make people work for it.

I made you work for it? Scrolling up is harder than scrolling down?

If I repeated myself, you might have accused me of a 'Y' chromosonal ramming of opinions again. And we wouldn't want that, would we. :roll:
