OMG!MarleysGh0st wrote:It was a record-setting day, hitting 97 this afternoon. And it felt that much hotter, when I was wearing a dress shirt and tie for my Jeopardy! audition.
Since I was going to be in the city, anyway, I had scheduled another WWTBAM audition for the evening. They worried me a bit, by reading my number last among the list of written test passers.
And then...Spoiler
I advanced to the videotaped audition.
Hot and sweaty, but not a bad day!
Too much to hope for, but after all these years of trying out, that would be an ironic anecdote in itself.christie1111 wrote:Now we get to see what happens if you get both calls!

Let's make yesterday a True Daily Double, Alex!
I'd still rather be on WWTBAM (first) but it's one of those moral dilemmas. If J! calls first and I've accepted their tape date offer, it'll have to be first come-first served.littlebeast13 wrote:So, if the choice presented itself, would it be Alex or Mere?
That would be a bonus in the situation, wouldn't it?littlebeast13 wrote:It would be deliciously ironic were you to get a chance to tell WWTBAM "No!" for a change....
I think J! will continue to be around long after BAM is gone so I would probably go for BAM first, if there was a choice. Although whether I ever get enough answers right on the J! test will be another story entirely.MarleysGh0st wrote:I'd still rather be on WWTBAM (first) but it's one of those moral dilemmas.

If you go only by the expected value of appearing on each show, I'm pretty sure the average WWTBAM contestant wins more than the average J contestant. I'd much rather win a million on Jeopardy than on WWTBAM, but it's not as likely.christie1111 wrote:I think J! will continue to be around long after BAM is gone so I would probably go for BAM first, if there was a choice.

So more details on both? How did you feel you did in the J! audition?
Hey, I've learned some lessons over the years!kusch wrote:Was it a nice blue dress shirt?
Of course, they're never going to extend an invitation simultaneously. So, if J! calls first, am I going to respond with "let me think about it for a while"? Of course not! It'll be "when do you want me to hop on a plane?" The moral dilemma would arise if WWTBAM called after I accepted a J! offer. Would I (or would any of you) call J! back and cancel their scheduled appearance "because I've got a better offer"? I couldn't do that.christie1111 wrote:I think J! will continue to be around long after BAM is gone so I would probably go for BAM first, if there was a choice.

I won't go into details, but I think it went reasonable well. I followed instructions, remembered to answer in the form of a question and immediately select a new category, etc. It was actually kind of scary realizing how many questions I didn't know while I was standing there and having to "stay clam". Of course, there were a few NYC-centric questions that really gave the locals a home field advantage.christie1111 wrote:So more details on both? How did you feel you did in the J! audition?
MarleysGh0st wrote:Less pressure on J! contestants? How about those other two contestants competing against you and the buzzer timing issue?
Most J! contestants leave with a consolation prize.
