Blog entry by a contestant's companion

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:56 am

Someone named Shea will be on a SyndieBAM episode in April. Her friend wrote about watching the taping (no spoilers):

Nothing we're not familiar with. Apparently, waiting all day can be boring! :wink:

I didn't try it. Hold on a moment...

2071 points. According to the instructions "Add two zeros to the score and sub in the word dollars for points." I guess that means $207,100.

But I want to keep going for the million! :mrgreen:

Boring is in the mind of the bored.

I have yet to be bored waiting for someone I care about to have their shot.

She doesn't understand the plight of those who have
auditioned many times and never made the show. Appears this girl only
auditioned once.

That's why we're not bored and this companion might have been.

Yeah. Did you notice her comment about her friend's one try through the audition process?
After all of this rigmarole, she found herself sitting across from host Meredith Vieira in a bid to win the big bucks.
I'll tell her about rigmarole! :roll:

I would not have had her be my companion.

Reports were that my son-in-law was bored and negative during the entire day he and Pealette sat in the audience that I did not get into the hot seat. I suggested he stay home on the second trip. He stayed home.

I can certainly vouch for the contestant in question, as I sat in the green room with her for two days.
Shea was very sweet, she brought lots of gum to share with her fellow contestants-in-waiting. :-)
