Is there any reason to think you wouldn't qualify? Nothing you've revealed to us sounds like a problem, so it's probably best not to plant any seeds of doubt in their minds. Good luck!JulieF wrote:Got (and missed) the phone call today! I will be calling back in the morning to see if I qualify.

Re: 2014 Audition List
I am officially ineligible
I'll be put back into the pool for possibly a later date. It's disappointing to have this happen now during the only time I've been on a network show within the last year. But it's nice to be chosen and I certainly don't regret WOF. I will keep hope alive for a later date.

Re: 2014 Audition List
Bob, you need to come up with a new indication for people who are in JulieF's situation who got a happy card but are ineligible.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Congratulations! Those were the days they mentioned to me too. I hope you have a great time and do really well -- just leave some money there for me later.

My postcard was waiting for me when I got home after taping. Snail mail, and all that. I bet JulieF hasn't got her postcard yet either.MarleysGh0st wrote:So they may have tried to call you before they sent you the e-mail? That's the A+ (virtual) card!

All the details of TPTB's casting process are top secret, but if it's true that contestants are chosen primarily because an AP remembers someone and lobbies for that particular person (which has been my hypothesis), that may be a very bad thing for everyone still wading in the pool from the past two auditions seasons. With a mostly (completely?) new crew of producers, who are they more likely to pick, someone who just made an impression in the last couple of weeks or someone with good marks on a old file?

Re: 2014 Audition List
Almost completely new. Liz, the Supervising Producer, was an AP in 2012 (see http://wwtbambored.com/viewtopic.php?t=47825#p482944). In the 2013 Audition List, the gap from successful interview to taping was 1-3 months.MarleysGh0st wrote:With a mostly (completely?) new crew of producers, who are they more likely to pick, someone who just made an impression in the last couple of weeks or someone with good marks on a old file?

Re: 2014 Audition List
I got the contestant pool email on Tuesday (right after I was deemed ineligible on the phone and put back into the pool for a maybe later date). I haven't gotten an actual post card yet. And at the audition they said they would notify us via email - nothing about snail mail.jarnon wrote:My postcard was waiting for me when I got home after taping. Snail mail, and all that.

They used to send real postcards, but in the last couple of years they've decided to save the postage and printing expense by doing e-mails only.JulieF wrote:I got the contestant pool email on Tuesday (right after I was deemed ineligible on the phone and put back into the pool for a maybe later date).

Last year they sent postcards and emails.
