Is the consensus that they're not going to be holding a Kids Week this season, because they're doing the Kids Week Reunion? Seeing as how all the contestants we're seeing this week are college students, it seem to me that they should be skipping College Week, instead.

I think Alex actually said on the first day of the week that they'd be holding the regular Kids Week later in the season.

Oh, OK.

They could still do with skipping College Week!

And they could give Seniors Week a try in its place.

I agree with you Marley. I would love to see a Senior's week.

Define Seniors.

Thanks.

So are they pairing up the same kids against each other, or is it a random seeding?

I wonder if Jeopardy administered any tests to determine whether the invited returnees still had game. So far, it seems that some of them haven't learned much in the past ten years. Wednesday's show may have set an all time record for Triple Stumpers.

Considering the normal demographic bias of TPTB, it'd probably be college seniors.

J! USED to have a Seniors Tournament-back in the mid-90's. One of the people who was at my first tryout back in 1994 wound up being in it. With all the ads for stuff like denture adhesive, colon-cleansing medicine, and other "senior citizien" type products, you'd think they'd be doing a Senior Tourney every year.

They will be doing the college tourney-they've been promoting the online test for the past two weeks, ever since the new season started.

What I'm waiting for is "People Who've Been Rejected for Our Show 5 or More Times" week.

Whoa......there are certain people on this bored who would love to see Millionaire implement this wrinkle.

Did you have anyone in particular in mind?

According to the Jeopardy board, these "Kid Reunion" contestants weren't even among the better players when they were on nine years ago. I don't know why they would invite back the past losers instead of the winners.

At least that's what someone in this thread appears to be saying:

1999 Curtis: 3rd across the board
1999 Kendra: 3rd across the board
1999 Anjali: 2nd entering FJ, 2nd highest Coryat, and finished 3rd (against Joel and Max)

E.S.!

Here I've been patiently waiting my turn to be immortalized in one of your portraits, and you've had it done since January!!!



And, uly, I have never asked for special rules or government fiats to create special "Pick Me" exceptions. All I want is a level playing field in which to compete for a spot in the game by playing something like the game, itself. Even just one slot per season (a la the Million Dollar Buddy contest) would leave me with a shred of hope.

Remember when the Phone Game was "Round 1" of Millionaire, with the televised version simply being "Round 3"?



Edit: Oops, lower case 'u'.

I'd like to see J! implement it because I'd qualify.

I've been rejected by J! twice, so it looks like I've still got a ways to go.

ES did a great job on your portrait, Marley!

Love it!

Hopefully it won't conflict with BAM's "I Refuse to Audition But Think I Should Be on Your Show Anyway" week.

Dang, ES, I realize you only paint what you see, but what kind of deviant is Marley living next door to, anyway?

(Note that, even though I expressed my bewilderment over proper case usage yesterday, I ALWAYS capitalize Marley. Ha!)

Okay, the mix of Fanny's wit/tongue and her avatar is giving me a distinct salt-on-watermelon rush....
