Hello all!
I auditioned Oct. 7th, 2015 in Seattle and received my contestant letter 17 days letter on Oct. 24th (the longest 17 days ever!!!). I'm hoping for a taping date soon, maybe Seattle week!!

Congrats, ladiluv! You think waiting for the letter was long, wait 'til they finally put you on. That wait's even longer in many cases--I waited 10 months! While I'm at it, let's all wish the best of luck to mellissa, who will be taping her show THIS FRIDAY, Feb. 5! That brings the total number of boardies who have yet to appear on the show to a massive 18! Talk about a banner year for the forum! |

I was gonna say, "That was fast!" before I realized you'd been waiting six months. Haha.
(I still waited longer than that)
Best of luck, all of you!

WHAT A WHIRLWIND!!!! I just got back from sunny LA yesterday. It was pretty much the best experience of my life. Since everyone here knows that I can't say anything about how I did (I wish all my friends and family understood this!!) I will tell you what I can. Lucky me - I drew the last show of the day... #6. It was a LONG day... watching show after show... anxiety, nerves, fatigue... everything built up in the 10+ hours I was there. Episode 6 also means my air date is April 14 for America's Game (instead of March 7 - 11 for R&R week.) 2 months to keep a secret...  lol. I am in the middle... contestant yellow! And as every contestant has ever said... SO different playing on the couch vs. in the studio. Talk about pressure! But SO much fun... truly a once in a lifetime experience. My words of wisdom to upcoming players... take in every minute (because you will never get those minutes back!) I find myself sad that the experience is "over" since there was A LOT leading up to that very "quick" moment on stage. I also might be a little sad because I live in IL - and going from 80 degrees on Venice Beach to snow on the ground is just not fair. :lol: Good luck to all future contestants!! |

It was a LONG day... watching show after show... anxiety, nerves, fatigue... everything built up in the 10+ hours I was there. ...yet another thing I never thought about. I do imagine watching others play before you get to do your own one can be a little stressful. ^_^; Yeah, but when it's done, it's done. All you have to do is wait for the day it airs. That's how I'd think of it anyway. |

Hey everyone! I just stumbled across this site and it is very informative. I tried out at a Wheelmobile event in Atlantic City in September, then made it to a follow up tryout in Philadelphia, and luckily got my acceptance letter in November! The tryout was largely tied to the Philadelphia Week that should air in May, but I don't yet know for sure if I'll be part of the Philadelphia Week taping or some other week's taping. I did some digging around the Internet and it looks like the Philadelphia week taping should be around the end of March, but I guess I'll know more whenever I get the fateful call from Culver City. Any chance anyone else on this board was part of the Philadelphia tryouts and is in the same (excellent, amazing, incredible) situation?

I was also at the Philadelphia Audition but my story is a tad different. I didn't get called up on stage at the Wheelmobile event but still got the email to come to the final auditions. I can only assume I was one of the lucky ones that was drawn in LA to fill the empty seats. The letter was a nail-biter. I should've gotten it on the 15th day after the audition but I wound up getting it on the 17th. The 15th day was the only day in my life that mail didn't get delivered on a Saturday. Better late than never. I too am waiting for that call from Culver City. I'm expecting to get it around mid March since the tape date for Philadelphia Week is the end of March. Only time will tell.
