Um, what else is the contestant coordinator going to say? "We want loud, offensive people who tell a better story than they do play the game!"

At least they're up-front about who they are instead of astroturfing the hell out of the place.

I agree.

But still, it gives me more confidence than I had in the show to begin with.

At least they're not looking for "atheists" and "a**holes" up-front like Fox did when casting for "5th Grader".

Considering that most of the prime time spectacles have been sending out generic casting calls to Craigslist, I think the fact that MDP specifically sought out THIS website and THESE members does say a lot about their desire to have us fans represented.  They certainly didn't have to come here, and it's honestly a little bit more trouble than a lot of other ways they have to get their word out.

This ought to also serve as a reminder to members that our board is known and our opinions are read by the professionals out there.  Your voice is being heard.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I second everything Matt said and one thing Chris said.  The MDP staff didn't have to seek us out specifically, didn't have to decide to post only here, and didn't have to be upfront about who they were.  As much as I enjoy debunking stunts like that "hey look at this great site I just found" post from the World of Pop Culture staffer, I prefer knowing that someone associated with a show actually seems to have some interest in what we'd like to see.

Without going into specifics, because I've been part of a few runthroughs, and I'd like to be part of a few more....

They get it.

There are a few game show vets on this staff, including one name most here know.

Have faith that they are looking for people who know and understand Password well.

Thank goodness a G-T show is coming back and not getting the "Card Sharks" treatment.

I'm confirmed for tomorrow at 5pm.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

I'm just hoping that "smart people who have Password knowledge" isn't translatable to "we can't find celebs who can't play the game that well".

And it should be the "Temptation Treatment"...mucking up just to muck up.  I hope this is a good game.
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"
