I didn't know there were going to be auditions there. elwing has a craft show this weekend and I have to help her with the booth so I wouldn't be able to make it anyway. From what I've seen of the show, though, I'm not sure I'd want to be on it - the payouts are low and the risk of someone getting lucky with one answer is too high.geoffil wrote:Is anyone attending the Crosswords audtion at NBC tower in Chicago this Saturday?
I just went to the Web site and sent in my info. I'm not sure I'm eligible. I did note that it says they fly you to LA. Groovy.geoffil wrote:Is anyone attending the Crosswords audtion at NBC tower in Chicago this Saturday?
Do they? Paying travel expenses will make it a lot easier for them to get out-of-town contestants.Catfish wrote: I just went to the Web site and sent in my info. I'm not sure I'm eligible. I did note that it says they fly you to LA. Groovy.
But if you're the spoiler, isn't that a good thing?MarleysGh0st wrote:I still don't like their silly "spoiler" rule.
It's a good thing if you're not good enough to win on a level playing field and your best chance of winning is to get a lucky break. If you're better than your opponents overall, it hurts your chances and it's a bad thing.Catfish wrote:But if you're the spoiler, isn't that a good thing?
But if you're better than your opponents and you've been placed in the frustrating position of being designated a spoiler rather than an, um, podiumer, and you spoil immediately and retain your position to the end of the game and finish the puzzle and get a trip to Pizmo Beach, that's good, n'est pas?TheConfessor wrote:If you're better than your opponents overall, it hurts your chances and it's a bad thing.
