Thanks --

WooHoo! "We" won - I get to share $14,300 with approx. 16 others on the America Team.

They aired it early here-- luckily I tuned in early and just caught my question right near the end of the show.

Again, WooHoo!

Congratulations!

I just got an email saying one of my questions will be used next Friday Oct. 24.

Congrats to you too, and wishing good luck to win the money!! Keep in mind, when you notify your friends and family of your appearance, get ready for an... adventure. :P

First of all, where there are two airings in a row per day, as in L.A., Chicago, etc., the show which they've said you're on will air as the second show of that day. (Probably.) Now, where there is only one airing per day, as I found the case to be in the St. Louis area and S. Florida, it airs the next day! (Probably.)Then there is the matter of telling them the time and channel... it's all over the map! The way I was able to find it for non-web-friendly friends and older relatives, is to go to TVguide.com, enter their zip code to edit location, find out and then enter the name of their cable or satellite co., then, since a search of "Trivial Pursuit" didn't point me anywhere, I had to manually look it up throughout the day, between 9:30am and 4:30pm, and it varied between the Fox, CW, and MyTV stations!

Oh, and today, I suppose due to the baseball game, my show aired an hour earlier than scheduled... and I almost missed it!

(It may just be easier to not even tell anyone, and just email w/the good news after you win.) lol

PS - I just found another email, saying they're gonna use one more of my questions on this Monday's show, the 20th. I'm on a roll ! Fingers crossed, again...

PSS - Small world - I caught your BAM episode last night on GSN! Well, the first half, anyway. :)

They liked Mom's reaction so much they led the next show with a clip of her. I kept hoping they'd have a week of shows with memorable contestant companions.

Okay, scoop-- the info. I gave you above about when/where the shows air... never mind! My bff called from Chicago and said my episode aired today on the first showing of the day there. And, when my mom in Fla. and MIL in St. Louis look for it, they can't find my show on the announced air date, or the day following... maybe it's just because they've dozed off, I just don't know anymore. VHS copies will be going out in the mail. lol.

Anyway, I (think) I WON $$ AGAIN TODAY!! YAY! (Bff won't tell me, says I should be surprised. I could hear the smile in her voice, tho.)

Did anyone see the show today? I'll be driving carpool and won't get home to find out till around 5pm. That's cruel, eh?

Sorry, we taped BAM to see Nancy but there are too many other things to tape to get them all every day. I think.

It sounds like you have a tape coming but I will check tomorrow just in case we got it.

So, question. Did you guys who got on the show tape at one of their remote locations, or did you send a question in? I've sent in about ten questions (since neither MDP nor TP:AP have any appearance timeframe restrictions) via the internet, but I don't know how many of those kinds of submissions from people they've used.

My lonely and losing team question was taped in LA.

I taped a couple of questions at a mall in Charlotte.

Chad- any news about your MDP airdate yet?

I taped my TP questions at their remote location at a mall. My son taped some too, but his haven't shown up yet either... he's a little bummed. I'm betting you'll both get your emails soon. :)

Thanks anyway, but I did catch it on tape here last night. (I meant that I'll be sending my tape to the moms, who can never find the show.) Won again, and very happy. This time the pot was at $14,500.
