I'm so thrilled for you! Congratulations!

I don't know how many times I noticed when playing various QOD games that you and I would get almost the exact same questions right and wrong, and would end up right next to each other in the final standings. So I can't wait to see you in the hot seat, to see how I would do. :)

Congratulations on getting the card! I hope you get the call soon and that all of your preparations will pay off.

Anyone know what percent of happy cards result in actual calls? Last year my niece got a happy card but no phone call, which surprised me. I had led her to believe that she was pretty sure to get the call, so I felt bad about giving her false expectations. I guess in theory, she could still be called for the new season, but that would be extremely rare, I think.

Yeehah! It's been such a long time, it took me several seconds to realize exactly what "SPLASH" meant! I am soooo happy that a longtime BB has finally made it into the pool after so many tries. I hope you get the call for the best possible date and that you run the table!

WTG. One more step: the phone call.

I hope it comes quickly (or at least conveniently).
