January 21, 201016 yr I won't even bother. I am fairly well-educated, and I am still horrible at that game. My brain just doesn't seem to want to work well with the show's format...

January 22, 201016 yr my roomate in college took the regular adult one (not the college one) and did well enough to get called to compete in person. apparently the live competition is more than just how well you do, but is also about your personality .....anyways he ended up making it and was on the show....he took second, lost by about 100 bucks
January 22, 201016 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) What is a "cop-out" Alex? That is correct, Mike! Your turn at the board!
January 22, 201016 yr I know a guy who was on the show. He lost on the final Jeopardy question. I'm really good at the show, but I'd never see myself getting past the live audition because they base it on more than just how well you do. I'll try anyway.
January 22, 201016 yr If I remember Ill definitely try. Id rather make it on Are You Smarter Than A 5th grader. That show is an easy $500k, just dont get greedy and go for the $1mil, those questions are impossible. Even Ken Jennings missed. Edited January 22, 201016 yr by Soxbadger
January 22, 201016 yr I would, but I may be at the hospital with a childbirth thing the night of the test.

January 23, 201016 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 22, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) If you take the test instead of going to the birth, I guarantee you get on the show divorced by your wife. fixed

They're not looking for people who might actually win it.

January 24, 201016 yr I got 100% on the Jeopardy tryout. Said I was too smart. I got 100% on the Millionaire tryout. Said I was too smart. I got 100% on the 5th grader tryout. Obviously. I got 100% on the Lets Make a Deal tryout. I don't have a funny punchline, so picture a chicken wearing a pair of sunglasses and a bra.
January 27, 201016 yr Just finished the east Coast Audition. Dang, some of those questions were hard!

I know I got 18 correct and there were about 10 or so I was iffy on. But yeah that was real hard. Funny that one of the answers was Boo Radley. Hadnt thought of that character or book in years. Suprised I got it.
January 27, 201016 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 23, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) Ok, spill it Balta. What happened? Nailed every question they asked me, and of course therefore didn't get a callback for the show. Was pretty clear that people who could actually win wasn't what they wanted.
