They should get some of the contestants to fix their website before they try to launch.

Just for fun I clicked the "Apply" button, even though it specifically says "Please DO NOT CLICK the APPLY BUTTON below!" with an exclamation point. I was curious to see if it was a trick site, but it just give you a

My guess is it's because the info they tell you to include in the e-mail will soon be fields for you to fill in on the front page, followed by the click of "Apply".

That's not the way I would have done it- I would have simply had no "apply" button on the front page yet.

But oh well...

I was secretly hoping they're bringing 1000 Heartbeats to the U.S.

Looks like it's really a variety show. :(

I wish they'd bring Countdown over from Britain- that is one game show I don't miss whenever I am over there.

Oh I could NEVER do this show if that's the type of stuff they do.

My brain is big-picture focused- the small details like that completely escape my notice.
