Millionaire is casting for Season 2
The second season of Kimmel-hosted Millionaire is now casting contestants (not celebrities).
I'm technologically limited here, but there is a Google Docs page out there with eligibility requirements and an application form. You're ineligible if you've appeared on any version of the show before.
Perhaps someone with better skills can figure out how to upload the application here.

I'm finding UK applications. Any chance that's what you stumbled across? --Bobbazodee wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:18 pmThe second season of Kimmel-hosted Millionaire is now casting contestants (not celebrities).

Former contestant has uploaded it to the WWTBAM group Facebook page. Here are the eligibility requirements:

Producer will make all determinations of contestant eligibility in its sole discretion, which shall be final and binding, and not subject to challenge or appeal. Producer reserves the right to add to or modify the eligibility requirements at any time.
In addition, Producer reserves the right, at any time, to render ineligible or disqualify any person who, in Producer’s sole discretion, is sufficiently acquainted with any person or entity connected with the development, production, administration, judging, exhibition or other exploitation of the Program such that his or her participation in the Program could create the appearance of impropriety.

After this point, there is a 4-page application form

#7 puts the kibosh on me, even though I was only in the "ring of fire" and didn't actually sit in the hot seat.

A page of the application talked about COVID-19. I imagine they will cast first responders primarily, which they should be doing.
I think this will be the first BAM audition I will not even apply for...

Re: Millionaire is casting for Season 2
I *don't* think #7 will rule ROF peeps out. We were *not* contestants, we were competing to be.
But clarification from the show would help.
#5 is certainly new, at least to me. Doesn't rule me out!

Re: Millionaire is casting for Season 2
The concern I have is how it's phrased:
Maybe the key is "and" rather than "or" -- if you were in the hot seat/ironing board/whatever and your show never aired (meaning you likely didn't get any money), that would make sense.7. Any individual who has appeared as a contestant on any version of the Program, and whose appearance was broadcast as part of the Program is not eligible to be a contestant on the Program again.
EDIT: I went ahead and filled out the application. One of the questions was if you had ever been a contestant (Y/N) followed by a "When?" I put in the date and indicated I was only in the ROF, not in the hot seat. I figure it's long odds anyway, so what the heck.

I wouldn't have put the yes there since you were only in the ROF. When the casting coordinators see the yes, they will likely stop reading and move on.SpacemanSpiff wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 11:38 amThe concern I have is how it's phrased:

By putting no, at the time you are contacted (if they decide to contact you), you would then be able to explain you were in the ROF, and weren't sure regarding eligibility, and then LET THEM decide if you are eligible. This way you can't be told you were deceptive, and even if they were to go that route, at least you gave yourself a chance; where by putting yes with the explanation...well I would think your chances of being contacted are 0.01%.

Re: Millionaire is casting for Season 2
Given the way the other questions were "steering," I suspect I wouldn't be what they wanted anyway. They asked a lot of questions about how COVID affected me, if I was an "essential employee," if I did volunteering, especially where social justice was concerned (specifically mentioning BLM), none of which I fit into.triviawayne wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 1:20 pmBy putting no, at the time you are contacted (if they decide to contact you), you would then be able to explain you were in the ROF, and weren't sure regarding eligibility, and then LET THEM decide if you are eligible.

Re: Millionaire is casting for Season 2
They called me. First step in the process and we're trading calls at this point but I know they're not completely uninterested. --Bob
