The Jeopardy contestant search exam

[Mudcat]

That's a good angle. Won't help you with the test at the audition but you always gotta do what you gotta do to ADVANCE.

A great American once said that. Jerry Glanville or some damn thing.

 

[Matty]

Do they still test your knowledge at the audition?

 

[Mudcat]

There is a retest at the audition. Another 50 questions. That's before all the other festivities.




It keeps giving me warnings whenever I click anything outside the window. What am I supposed to do, just sit here with my thumb up my ass?

I'm like, "Dude! I'm on gamelive! Shut up!"

Haha they don't want you hitting up Google Muddy

Funny chit

 

[Matty]

I think I got between 15 and 20.

 

[Mudcat]

Piece o' cake. Prolly about 40. Maybe more if some guesses came through. Gonna go check a few now.

 

[Mudcat]

Cornell is in Ithaca ---> :

 

[Matty]

An eagle's home is an aerie.

I knew that.

 

[Mudcat]

Oh man, a shitload of my guesses were right. I'm laughing.

Can't believe I got the Hunger Games question wrong though. Just didn't come to me.

 

[Matty]

I think I got all the classic lit questions - Dostoevsky, Conrad, Moby Dick, Jane Eyre, and a couple more.

I totally got Hunger Games.

 

[Mudcat]

What about that one about the popular Facebook game where the clue had emphasis on the word "growing"

That had to be Farmville, right?

 

[Matty]

yap

 

[Mudcat]

Oh and there was a pop music question I had no idea so I guessed Lady Gaga.

I think it was a 2010 song called Rolling [something or other]


Did you get that?

 

[Matty]

Oh come on! Adele! Damn it Muddy, we coulda combined for a near-perfect score.

 

[Mudcat]

D'OH!

 

[Mudcat]

I had another question that I blew occur to me out of the blue in the middle of the night. I didn't have to come look it up - I knew I got it wrong.

They asked the name of the model who has hosted Project Runway for whatever span of years. I said Tyra Banks but it's Heidi Klum.

 

[Matty]

I answered Banks too.

 

[Mudcat]

It wasn't a horrible guess - she had some model reality show at some point.

I was going to say it was a long time ago but I just had a quick look-up and it is still going and she is still on it. America's Next Top Model.

So that really was a booby-trapped question.

Pun semi-intended.
