WWTBAM Bored

Well, it's been three days of "Second Chance Week" on WWTBAM and so far there have been 6 contestants, none of whom made it as far as they did on their first appearance (one went home on the 2nd question). In what universe could this have been considered a good idea?

The one we've been living in since November 8?

Nope. The whole season was taped in July and August, when nobody foresaw the post November 8th world.

As I mentioned in another thread, TPTB can air these episodes in any order they please, so it would have made sense to kick off the week with a good winner. Since the first three days have been an unmitigated dumpster fire, I'm guessing Thursday and Friday won't be much better.

In defense of Second Chance Week, last year's was quite entertaining to watch. Count me as someone who was glad to see Justin Peters return, as well as our own Lee Ann Roberts of course.

I'm in Denver this week, visiting my granddaughters on my way back home from Chicago.

I haven't seen BAM all week as it's on at 6AM and 9 and 9:30 PM. I'm still sleeping at 6 and having fun with the granddaughters at night. I had a DVR in Chicago but none in this hotel of course.

I'm hoping they do it again next season...

They'd be crazy not to pick you, Wayne. Your ATA ploy alone is enough to make you a very memorable contestant.

thank you for the vote of confidence. I'm waiting to see the full week before I think about numbers and possibilities.

I'm wondering how many people they invite, they seem to be burning through them quickly this week; but more importantly, are there any invited who don't get to be on because of time constraints?

ETA--oh, and I would totally do that again with ATA!

Maybe he'll pick a better +1 next time.

Would not have changed the outcome.

Also, kiss my ass, Bob.

If I get a second chance, my first call is to see if I can have the same plus one.

I still think it's the right choice; it's not just about varied knowledge base, but a different approach to figure out something not known.

Another second chance week. I see not "zero dollar winners" like the first.

It's on my DVR like many episodes I may eventually watch and may even get around to transcribe. I am weeks behind again on that.
