Anyone ever been on a gameshow?

I know Catz has, but has anyone else? I just signed up to take the online test to get on Jeopardy!, so here's hoping on that one. I'm curious to know what goes on behind the scenes and how hard it is to really get on these shows. From what I can tell, there are a lot of stupid people that make the cut, at least on Jeopardy!. (hence, my signing up)
 
I was just about to post this.

Anyone heard of the expert computer that's kicking *** on jeopardy?

Yep, that's me.

Now you all know why I'm such an a-hole.

I hate humans.

Except CJ, AK, and fried chicken.

I mean fried humans(GVC).
 
I have been on a game show for the last 19 years. I didn't know I was signing up for it, and I didn't really find out until I lost the first round. The rounds always sneak up on me, I never know when the game is on or when we are on commercial. It is called "Read the Wife's Mind". I have won very few rounds over the years and even when I do win I get reminded of all the times before that I lost (month, day, year, time of day, weather, verbatim recounting of what I said incorrectly, etc.). Not sure what happens if I lose the game entirely but from the rounds I have lost I sure don't want to find out.

I know this is off topic, but your wife doesn't happen to have the initials C.J., does she?

Just curious.

Seriously dude do you have a complex? Are you really CJ Miles in disguise trying to improve your rep? You are the very definition of troll since all you do is follow people around harping the same garbage all the time. Try some original thought once in a while.

My bad.

Saying you are completely satisfied with CJ and feel he is exactly what we need and there is no need to try to upgrade at his position is tantamount to saying you are very happy with 1st or 2nd round playoff exits every year because a playoff appearance is "solid" and "productive". If CJ is our best wing we need to get way better at other positions to make up the shortfall. Wow how can everyone be so blind. I am very glad CJ is performing better. He needs to because the Jazz just won't do anything to take a risk to get better at his position. And since he is what we have we might as well cheer him on. But to do so trying to convince yourself that he is the 6th man of a contending team is like trying to convince yourself that Palin would have made a great vice president. So color me tickled that he is doing better the past few games, and also that I hope they make some kind of move or take a risk to get better. Because we won't go far anytime soon otherwise.

Yeah, I'm a nut job.

I'm obsessed.

I'm so silly.



Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Mr. voice of reason.:rolleyes:

Try chuckling when you're on the ropes. Laughter is the best medicine.

Better yet, find a way to get her to laugh.

Life will get better.

I've got 21 years under my belt but we play, "Do You Remember When ... ?" This is where, when on rare occasion I have a legitimate complaint and am stupid enough to voice said complaint, she reminds me of stuff I did to her which is/was equally egregious. There is no time limit on what she can use as an example. Yes, the game started well before I even said 'I do' so she has literally decades of material. The rules are simple. If it is a "remember when" that I simply can't deny, she gets a point. On the rare occasion that she's going with something really obscure and I have some plausible deniability she still scores a point because she then reminds that I never listen to her which automatically voids my deniability.

I used to think I knew it all. Way back when. . . . and I had this little smart quip: When you win an argument with your wife, you lose. Someone told me once that the secret to a happy marriage is to figure out what your wife wants quick enough to make it your own idea. I got two divorces.

Plausible ignorance is working better for me. Women want somebody to listen. Well, you also have to be there to listen. I don't know how to transition a wife from expecting you to know everything including what she's thinking. I'm running on sheer luck that from the outset it appeared obvious to her I needed things explained in detail. . . .

And, laughter is very good medicine.

Excellent comments all around. This is how you make it last. Apparently me losing my game is good enough for her, she has kept me around for 19 years.

Good point.

What kept her in for the other 18.5?



Alright, dude, I'm just messing with you. Let it go. We both know CJ's left nad has more talent than you. Or anyone related to you. Or anyone related to monkeys.

Fair enough?

Is this three or four threads that you've butchered with this mindless drivel? Piss off.

Yes, really. I got called down. But didn't get past the bidding. I was on towards the end and only got to bid twice. The show is taped and then shown like 2 months later.

Sweet. That would be cool. I always bid wrong watching so I would never make it up on the stage.
 
Shut the hell up all of you. I've been married 4 times now. Nobody gives a damn about wives and computers. Back to the OP...

Lower your expectations. There's games like lingo and stuff that you're more qualified for. I realize you are really smart and all, but jeopridy is fer them really smart dudes like One Brow and Freakazoid and stuff.
 
My friend was on Bingo America with Patrick Duffy as the host. She had to correct Duffy twice cause she gave the right answer but he said it was wrong. They had to edit both parts so Duffy could tell her it was the correct answer.
