Just finished creating an account to say the same (been lurking for awhile though). I haven't heard back despite what seemed to be a promising 2nd skype interview, and I haven't read of anyone else hearing back yet either.Bob78164 wrote:Welcome aBored!

Add me to the list of the pool-swimming lurkers coming out of the woodwork.
I do know that some contestants have been contacted (not me, unfortunately).

I saw that someone posted on FB that they will be taping on July 11. No other information was posted.

Now I'm second guessing myself. In my interview, I talked a little about the bored. Was that a poison pill?

More than likely. It's the same thing that regularly gets audience members of The Price Is Right immediately removed from consideration to be contestants. TPTB at TPIR are still bitter that a member of Golden-Road.net in the audience offered an on-stage contestant a perfect bid on a showcase back in 2010.flockofseagulls104 wrote:Now I'm second guessing myself.

I believe calls have only gone out for the first week of taping. They seem to be giving the standard two weeks notice, at least at the beginning of the season.

It is my understanding that calls for the second week of taping went out today, presumably due to the holiday next week.Bob78164 wrote:I've now seen reports of calls for taping dates in mid-July. --Bob

Re: WWTBAM Season 17 Contestant Pool
How does the audition work? Does someone from BAM call to skype for an interview? Do you take have to take a test or it all personality?

For the remote auditions, yes- I had two rounds of Skype calls. The first was a quiz, the second a personality/camera presence interview.geoffil wrote:How does the audition work? Does someone from BAM call to skype for an interview? Do you take have to take a test or it all personality?

IIRC, early the next week- I feel like I sent the app in late in the week (Thurs/Fri) and was replied to early the next week (Tues/Weds ish). This was awhile ago though, don't quote me on it.geoffil wrote:Thank you Gman for replying.
