    So excited!! (Millionaire auditions today)

    So the fiance and I went downtown today and auditioned for Who Wants to be a Millionaire.  It was insane.  We got there at 9am and stood in line until about 11:30 when we were finally given something to fill out.  Then they moved us inside with a big group of people and we took the test.  They checked them right there and said who passed.  We both passed!!  And what's even better is that they are doing a couple's show and they are looking at us for that, so we'll be on together!!  So then we had a mini interview with a producer and they sent us on our way.  Now we wait for a phone call.  They will call us to the show anytime between now and December, so we're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping we get a call.  What sucks is that you pay your own way to and from the show plus your hotel, food, etc...so if we go, we better get in the hot seat. 

    Has anyone else tried out for a game show before?  This was the first time we had, and it will probably be the last, but it certainly was an interesting experience.

    Never tried out, but *Millionaire* has always been a favorite.  If you get selected, be sure to share all the details with us & let us know when you're going to be on.

    I definitely will.  I just hope that if we go there we actually get in to the hot seat.  [:D]

    So they could call you to come down, but you still might not get on the show? How does that work? You would think they would bring down as many people as they need, and if they run out of time, you be on the next one.

    I think that's possible, Angel.  The way it seems to work is that as soon as someone finishes, someone else takes their place.  But some people will finish a lot sooner than others. If someone makes it to the million (or almost that far) they're going to be in the *hot seat* longer than the person who messes up in 3 tries.  So you could be scheduled for a certain day and just not make it on at all.  I don't think you get to hang around for days waiting.

    I will work at the shelter you build!![:D]  LOL, seriously, good luck... that would be awesome.
    • Gold Top Dog
    That's a great idea!!  I will definitely let you all know.  [:D]

    I'm still in shock that I actually passed the test.  I knew my fiance would, but really wasn't expecting me to.  Heck, I wasn't even going to take the test...I was just going for moral support.  [sm=lol.gif]  It's funny how things work out.
