Well, there's "Kenny v. Spenny," but they're not looking for more contestants right now.

Umm...where did you get the idea that we like you...r sigs? Sorry to deflate your ego, but I didn't see anything like that from either Tyshaun or me. All I can do is laugh at the irony behind your sig, and trust me, I'm not laughing with you.

I really don't give a darn whether you emulate my sig or not, but why would one pay homage to someone they don't much care for?

And herein lies the problem, kids: Zach does not understand the difference between "paying homage" and "mocking". Hence, no attention is bad attention.

Hoping to go see a taping in March break if everything goes right...

EDIT: You know, going on an American game show isn't that bad... sure, taxes took away about ~$8000 of my Wheel of Fortune winnings, but I got about $5500 of that back.  It's worth doing!

Does this mean Vingt et un is in danger of cancellation like its predecessor Ultimatum?

And apparently, he doesn't know the difference between irony and homage either. Whatever...I'm leaving it alone.

And since someone doesn't get it, I think the best tactic is ignorance. Ergo, signature changed.

Oh well...it was good while it lasted...all 10 hours.

I'm not really sure.  I got an email back from the audience coordinator, she said they're doing tapings on March 5-6 and April 1-2-3, so I would imagine that it's going decent.  But then again, you never know.  IIRC, Ultimatum ran for three years (and would have ran more save for that "slash the budget" season IMHO).

Well, Ryan, you will be glad to know that Jeopardy! will be coming to Toronto in April and/or May as per the official web site.

[vtown7]

Tony - thanks SO much for the heads up!  I went over and put my name in!

I think I might get a couple of other friends to enter too...

According to ratings, probably not. Last I heard, it was getting better numbers than L'Union Fait La Force on Radio-Canada. Probably the Guy Mongrain factor. (Mongrain is hugely popular in Québec. The Metrostar 2005 awards, an audience award much like the US People's Choice Awards, is coming up, and in addition to being nominated in the game show category, Mongrain's one of 5 nominees for male star!)
