Qualified for an in-person audition later this month. Both excited and terrified about it

It's fantastic.I've been in bed the past day and a half due to food poisoning and I was excited to see they've added many more episodes to Netflix. My favorite part of the show is that you can tell they don't go out of their way to polish the contestants at all through coaching or editing or whatever (mainly talking about the "get to know the contestants" bits)... Trebek will sometimes try and smooth out some awkward moments but generally they let it roll as-is, and this makes for some wonderful television. Seeing all types of real people acting like real people in the contrived setting of a television game show is great. And it's not funny in their expense usually, though there are some folks that are easy to cheer against. I'd feel awkward as hell up there too.

I rarely watch game shows but when I'm drunk with friends booting this up on Netflix or Hulu is always a grand time. How could you possibly vote CRAP?

Unfortunately, I dropped out of college two years in. I miss it so much.

James has changed the game completely. I hope you were paying attention.

Now I'm thinking about this:
