Jeopardy's Online Test

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Jeopardy is opening up its contestant search to online participants tonight at 7 pm for the central time zone. As far as I can tell they are still allowing registration. I'm signed up. Is anyone else doing this?

Registered and BTW its 8pm, not 7

[CubanMustGo]

Thankfully you can take it tomorrow at 10pm if tonight doesn't work.

"Who is Greg Lemond" kept me from making it past the preliminary round in Austin a number of years back.

Registered and BTW its 8pm, not 7

Whoops. That's what I meant. Damn shifty keyboard makers put the 7 and 8 right next to each other.

[desflood]

I'll try. Maybe I'm not the brightest, but I have a huge wealth of worthless trivia facts stored in here :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Man, did I suck. I didn't realize you had to have such a great command of literature to be on Jeopardy these days.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

BUMP

They are doing the online test again tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday depending on your time zone. Not too late to register!

Signed up. I'm sure I will fail miserably but it sounds fun.

I wish they still had Rock 'n Roll Jeopardy. I used to kill at that.

[CubanMustGo]

Let's see what obscure category I suck at will be emphasized this year.

"I'll take Enlightenment-era German Yak Herders for $200, Alex!"

[JeopardyGeek]

I'll take "Searching for 15 minutes of Fame and a Quick Buck" for $1000, Alex.

I took the college one back in October and the only questions I knew without a doubt were "Who won the NBA Finals MVP in 2006?" and "What is the spanish word for river?". I completely sucked ass. I thought I was smart...needless to say they never called me for an audition :lol

[Obstructed_View]

I just signed up. Someone can make me a Spurstalk tie if I make it.

Me too! and me too? :)

They might but they would get weeded out as the process goes on.

[angel_luv]

I hope all you who tested did really well. :)

[Obstructed_View]

They might but they would get weeded out as the process goes on.

And the weeding out process would be particularly humiliating, so those folks would get what they deserve. Once you test you're in their records for 18 months.

[Obstructed_View]

bump. don't forget.

[CubanMustGo]

5:30 to go and counting down.

[Obstructed_View]

I just hope I don't freeze up. As long as I can answer the stuff I know I know, I'll be satisfied.

[CubanMustGo]

If you're the freezing up type (happens to me too), better to do it here and not on national TV. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Not a matter of nerves, it's just that sometimes I can't get the answer to come out. I used to think my dad was an idiot because he'd point at the screen and snap his fingers during Jeopardy and then say "Yeah that was it". Now I'm becoming that. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Two minutes...two minutes.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Done. Blew a few, guessed on some more. I don't think I'm booking a plane ticket to Hollywood any time soon.

[CubanMustGo]

Meh, better than last year, prolly still not good enough. Still too many lit questions.

[Obstructed_View]

I forgot Lindsay Lohan's name.

[Spurminator]

Well, that didn't go well. Even on half of the ones I DID know, I blanked just long enough so that I couldn't type it fast enough. One of the answers was Herbie Hancock, and all I could think was "Bernie... Bernie? Bernie....."

[CubanMustGo]

One of my answers was "Led the force that captured the Alamo in 1836, also president of Mexico." LOL

Hope they didn't expect me to type Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón in 15 stinkin' seconds.

[Obstructed_View]

I started to type Antonio and then backspaced and got Santa Anna just in time.

[Das Texan]

ya there were some really stupid questions.


i liked the santa anna one.

i almost put santy anna at first :lol

Probably should bumped this a couple of days ago, but the eastern time zone doesn't count for much. Online contestant test is at 8 tonight for the central time zone!

[ashbeeigh]

I signed up, woohoo!

[CubanMustGo]

I've got a previous engagement tonight, will take it tomorrow with all the West Coast types. Like taking a trivia test at 10PM is going to work. :lol

[samikeyp]

I will be taking it tonight. :)

[Obstructed_View]

I'll take it again, but I'm sure I'll airmail on just enough not to get considered. Next year I should be sufficiently senile that I won't be able to answer anything.

[Obstructed_View]

Welp, there's always next year. God damn those questions were hard.

[ashbeeigh]

I know i got two right! :lol

[samikeyp]

I would like to say I took the test...but more accurately...it took me.

:depressed


:lol
