Re: 2016 Audition List
I'm under the weather. For three weeks, I've had congestion and a cough I can't shake. Just got back from seeing my doctor -- he's not concerned. However, last night one of my coughs resulted in a "pop" under my rib cage, and now it hurts -- a lot -- every time I cough.triviawayne wrote:you work too much...Bob78164 wrote:Bob78164, auditioning tbd
I'll audition after I shake this. --Bob

Bob, I dunno what the "pop" exactly connotes, but tell the doc. If they're still not concerned, & I don't say this lightly, see another doc.

Re: 2016 Audition List
I did tell the doc. It's a muscle strain. I hurts in the muscle, and only when I use the muscle. Manual pressure on the muscle when I cough (the primary time I use that muscle) helps a lot. --Bobghostjmf wrote:Bob, I dunno what the "pop" exactly connotes, but tell the doc.

Could there only be one name on the audition list this summer?

But among those of us long-time BBs who have been sharing our experiences of that forlorn quest for the Hot Seat for nearly seventeen years...yeah, I can see that happening this season.

Re: 2016 Audition List
I had my audition tonight. I arrived right after the 7:00 session started but they were very nice in still letting me take the test after everyone else had finished. I got a video interview and should get a happy/sad email within a week.

Unfortunately I received a sad email today. It was the first time I got a video interview so at least I made it that far. I might try one more time before they leave LA.

Re: 2016 Audition List
I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone who got the call during their 2nd year of eligibility.
I entered the pool last year for the taping sessions from June-August 2015; and am eligible to get the call for this year's tapings as well.
Anyone get the call in year two?

It's uncommon but we have had reports that it's happened. --Bobtriviawayne wrote:I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone who got the call during their 2nd year of eligibility.

Gets me thinking and wondering if I should audition again even though I'm in the pool to make sure they haven't forgotten me...Bob78164 wrote:It's uncommon but we have had reports that it's happened. --Bobtriviawayne wrote:I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone who got the call during their 2nd year of eligibility.

No video interview for me. Very low turnout, at least for the morning sessions in Brooklyn.
