Re: 2012 Audition List
Good job you two! Yes, let's definitely keep those calls coming!
By the way, are you two college students? Anyone know the latest on college week?
According to http://www.tvjobs.com/sweeps.htm, the upcoming sweep weeks (which somebody on here said is a possible college week time) is Oct. 25 to Nov. 21, 2012. Thus those waiting for a college week call still have ~1 month to wait! But I guess no one really knows for sure

I'm childish, if that counts, but not a college student. They made me graduate a second time and my wife told me it was time to be an adult. Sigh.

Wow, already over half the list that got happy cards have been blue lined and we are only in early September.
P.S. They really need to work on publicity of the new rules because two of my professors asked when I told them about being placed in the pool is if they could be my phone-a-friend if I get the call. lol

Re: 2012 Audition List
I imagine if it's college week, they'll want contestants to wear their college sweaters and at the least mention that (Jeopardy! mentioned to me that I'd be on college week almost immediately after I picked up the phone).

Re: 2012 Audition List
Well I'm a college student floating in the pool, and I figure, as a college student, that's what I'd most likely appear on. I know you're also a college student but got called for the regular show, but I can't imagine that being the norm. Maybe they just had so many good college students to pick from, the best ones had to go on the regular showhanzz wrote:I imagine if it's college week, they'll want contestants to wear their college sweaters and at the least mention that (Jeopardy! mentioned to me that I'd be on college week almost immediately after I picked up the phone).

The reason I ask those who say they get the call is because someone said previously in this thread that, most likely, all those appearing on college week of this season would get the call on the same day (because they tape all of college week in one day). Thus if someone else here gets a call to be on said week, and I don't get one that day, I'll have to face the unfortunate news

Re: 2012 Audition List
Ahh, gotcha. Bro, don't sweat it, the good news is that you're eligible for both the college and the regular shows, so if you don't get one of the ten-ish college spots, you've still got a shot at one of the 250-300 or so other spots! I'll admit that it was pretty cool to represent my college on Jeopardy!, and, especially being from a smaller school, it was a huge deal, but even if I'd just gotten to play the regular show, it would have been awesome. In every audition report I've read, TPTB seemed kind of wishy-washy about whether or not there was going to be a college week anyway, almost as if the idea was still being tossed around, and the press release made no mention of it either, so my inclination is that, for now, they are concentrating on the regular shows. So you just be on the lookout for that 212 number!check2012 wrote:Well I'm a college student floating in the pool, and I figure, as a college student, that's what I'd most likely appear on.

I'm trying to keep an eye out for interesting news stories (browsing the Bored helps some with that), especially ones related to the Olympics and Para(llel O)lympics. Other than that, I'm not going to try to cram for Millionaire. I've been instead trying to keep my mind off of it and focus on my dissertation.check2012 wrote:How do you plan on studying?

Re: 2012 Audition List
Read entertainment / People type magazines. Read New York Times Web site and its blogs. Watch the Emmy ceremony. Perhaps read synposes of the new TV shows? I wouldn't spend too much time on sports, they don't seem to ask about it much at all.
