[quote name=\'chad1m\' post=\'220757\' date=\'Jul 21 2009, 06:20 PM\']Hallelujah.

I sent them something but I don't know if they'll take me, I don't know what their eligibility requirements are. But if anyone does hear positively back from them, be sure to let us know![/quote]

I just fired off an application. While I'm not "in the tri-state area", NYC is but about 4 or 5 hours from me. Easy trip.

This is awesome news. Hopefully that's really what it means...I'm trying hard to not get excited but I am going to contain it until I see an official announcement.

Here's something interesting from radio-info, another board I frequent:

BTW, Steve Beverly says that the producers of the game shows being considered to replace "GL" will learn their fates probably Wednesday, July 22, so perhaps we'll know what's taking over "GL"'s timeslot(s) (parentheses since "GL" is fed three times: 9 AM, 10 AM, and 3 PM).

I sent a picture of myself, then they sent an application, and I sent back the completed application, but without a picture attached. So I sent the completed application again, this time with a picture attached. The first attempt won't mess me up, will it?

Don't worry about it. Stressing at the very beginning of an audition process will do you no favors.

I just sent an inquiry for the show, with my stats and picture. I honestly don't care that I live in Chicago, but I wanted to give the old graduate student try.

I am about to send in an application for the $1,000,000 Pyramid.  My question is, and I may be stressing out too much on this, but would a contestant coordinator would be less likely to choose a contestant for a callback who sent a professionaly taken photo rather than a recent vacation photo?

They don't like hats and sunglasses, otherwise a recent picture is a recent picture. I sent in one that I did have taken on my most recent vacation about a month ago, but it's no different than what I would look like if I were in my classroom.

OK... may seem goofy, but I did it anyway. Went ahead and signed up for Pyramid even though I'm way out here in Cali-land. Hopefully if they see enough interest out in the west coast, they will hold an audition out here.

I live in Chicago, and sent an email yesterday, but haven't heard anything back.

I e-mailed them Tuesday night and found the application in my inbox the next morning. Depending on what day they plan to hold auditions (would prefer a Thursday or Friday), I have no problem driving to NYC or could take a commuter flight out of Newport News...

Just to add to the application train, I don't know if I'm eligible or not but I sent in my application earlier in the week. I had to put that I was on Password on the app, so we'll see if it matters.

That's funny, seeing how I live in the burbs, and I got an application within an hour...

Sent in the e-mail yesterday afternoon, had the application arrive in short order.

I sent in an application the 21st and have heard nothing.

I can't say I like the fact you have to send a picture with the initial email.
