Mind of a Man cancelled by GSN; The Chase renewed; Bible/Church on the bubble

I caught a glimpse of Tuesday's episode (aired at 11pm EST I believe).

I think the team of two got to the 17th step with a $55K bank, to The Beast's 13. However, he caught up with them with about :20 to go. I admit I haven't really seen too many eps., so I don't know whether that's an "average" performance or not.

That's actually been pretty good compared to other recent teams. Which should tell you something.

I'm still looking to see if two people from my audition group made it through. They passed the test and I didn't.

/they're two of the three former J! winners I mentioned
//including the one I thought I had a nice butt

/they're two of the three former J! winners I mentioned
//including the one I thought I had a nice butt

I'm sure he appreciates the compliment.

I'm gonna catch hell from Chris for that one...

To be fair, the third one was a dude.

And I didn't look at his ass, so I couldn't tell you.

While I've got this thread temporarily hijacked, I noticed that whenever I try out for a show I inevitably meet someone from Texas. What is it about New York based auditions that draw people from Texas?

The Chase has announced casting for season four. In September, they'll head to Los Angeles, Washington DC, Houston, New York City, Chicago and San Francisco. In October, they'll visit Indianapolis, Boston and Seattle. If you don't live near enough to a casting site, you can apply via video as well.

Oog. Submit a photo.

Hmm. Don't know if I should.

But I did.

I'll study this time.

What's the process at the audition site?

What's the process at the audition site?

They bring you in, give you a name tag, and then videotape you for a brief moment when you come in the room.

Then they give you a.written test, with the questions relayed from a recording. When grading is done, you are told whether or not you passed and if you didn't your audition is over (think Jeopardy audition process without the video).

I invite others who have gotten beyond that point to fill in what happens next.

What's the process at the audition site?

Confirm your appointment, get a head shot taken by a contestant coordinator, take a 50 question test once everybody is seated and you sign off on some paperwork, wait, find out who passed the test, play about a dozen multiple choice questions with the remaining folks, leave, then pray you get the callback for the next day.

...play about a dozen multiple choice questions with the remaining folks...

Based on my experience:  they'll have you stand at the front of the room in a line for this part, and if at all possible, stand at one end or the other, not in the middle.  (Because you're supposed to explain your answer and they only started down the line at one end or the other -- I had trouble coming up with "new" ways to explain how I knew an answer, and don't feel like I ever got to express an "original" thought.)

They did that at my tryout as well.  Though I was placed in the middle, I was able to come up with correct answers with unique reasoning.  My problems were I got the callback when I was closer to home than Chicago (roughly 4 hours east of Chicago, about 2 hours from home) and I had commitments the next day (Easter Sunday).

Day 2 of the audition is some solo interview time with the casting coordinators, a full mock round of Cash Builder and Chase, and then three potential contestants get put together for a mock Final Chase, complete with buzzers.

I often wondered what would happen on The Chase if The Beast caught all three contestants. A recent episode gave us the answer. I still think it's one of the best shows GSN has.
