Upcoming SyndieBAM contestants

Two very brief plugs. First one is for today's show.

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: Root for the home team as Fort Worth's Kyle Kneip, a University of Texas at Arlington senior, goes for the big money. 3 p.m., WFAA/Channel 8
And then tomorrow:

Stephanie Wright of Tulsa will sit in the hot seat opposite host Meredith Vieira on Friday's episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” (noon on KOCB-34 in Oklahoma City, 6:30 p.m. on KTUL-8 in Tulsa).


And here's a guy who is just auditioning, but has probably come up with a gimmick that'll get him in the Hot Seat next season.

New York native Nick Galusha, 20, is one week into a mission that he expects to take 10 to 14 months — to visit all 50 states on a total budget of $50.
He was in Manchester, NH, when this article was written, but he had to get back to NYC quickly. Why?
I think this may be my only stop here, because my plans have changed a little. In Syracuse, I was sitting around and watching The Price is Right with the people I was staying with, and we thought it would be cool if as part of the trip I could make it onto a game show. So I called up the studio for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and I landed an audition on the 14th, so I have to get to New York City by the 14th now.
Notice that he didn't go through the standard procedure of registering through the web site. He called for an audition. And they gave him one!

Reading further, the concept of traveling across country with $50--in a pick-up truck, no less--isn't quite accurate. He may only have a few cents in his pocket at any one time, but he's picking up donations from his website along the way.
