for all of the end of the season auditioners, you will all have another chance to tape in 09. Stay positive, they will have to cave at some point and decide that they need some other great contestants that are a real threat to capture the Million! :D

Bob,

Thanks for the reply. What a shame to go to all that trouble of getting a costume and auditioning for it to be cancelled.

Well, I did already have the costume or most of it. But now most of my hometown know just how crazy I am.

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I believe he had already tried that, before.

And even though they cancelled the Halloween theme week, TPTB could have gone ahead and called him for a regular edition taping. You know, like they do for all the leftover college students. :|

When I said "leftover" college students, I refer to those specifically chosen for a special "College Week" edition who did not get their turn in the Hot Seat during that time, who were thereafter given a slot in a regular edition, instead. I don't believe you fall into that category.

We do have one BB, uasnake2000, who was invited down to WDW to tape in January '05 but then bumped from his slot by such a college student. He was never invited back for another chance. :evil:

I chose my screen name based on what I wore to the Savannah audition way back in 2001. I tried it again in Atlanta for the first syndie audition there.

When I taped my show at WDW, we had two leftover college students who started out the day. As a result, we had a couple or three in my group who did not tape on Friday or Sunday. As far as I know, they never were invited to NYC.

I believe the two weeks of shows my group taped still have the highest mean winnings of any syndie shows. Everyone except two won at least $25,000.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
