Wasn't "DOND" using the studio at TV City where "Dancing" and "Idol" are televised? Couldn't it just have been an availability issue?

I did not think of that and it's quite possible. But they taped 5 shows about 2 weeks ago at CBS when Dancing was still in production. And On Camera Audiences does not list Dancing using that studio on the same day. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't be using it.

Either way it really doesn't matter. I'm just curious if the set will be any different size wise.

Idol hasn't moved back into 36 yet, so that studio was open for Deal to tape in. I would imagine that Dancing is occupying 46 for the rest of their season (don't the dancers sometimes practice on the set in the days before the taping?), so Deal took 36. Which studio did Deal use for the first five episodes?

Deal used 46 for the first 5 shows.

Click the following link, and scroll down, and you'll see BOTH the handheld and table top versions of the game:

EXTREME Rock Paper Scissors? Wow.

(Although I admit that I do have an I-Top, got it as a desk toy, and they are a whole lot of fun.

What? "Dancing" is taped? I thought it was LIvE?!?!

(okay, I'm being silly, I know that. But in all seriousness, "Dancing" is live, just as "Idol" is.)

BTW, I'm almost certain "Skating with Celebrities" is in the same Idol/Swan studio.

cmjb13 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2006, 06:32:11 AM »

Skating tapes at Renmar. Idol's at CBS. Not sure where Swan taped.

"Swan" was a reference to its' season ending pageant. The regular eps were mainly set at some unspecified mansion of some sort. I don't know either, but it looked like they used the "Idol" stage for those

Okay, I have to ask this:
What justification does the Deal or No Deal game have being a 4-player game? I mean, there's only one player at a time, for crying out loud!

BTW, I attended the DOND "cattle call" in Huntsville, AL last night (2/13).

There was one this past week in NY, which I did not attend. I'm not sure if I'm even eligible.

Assuming every "cattle call" is the same, what did it entail?

I can only speak for mine, but it was held at a local sports bar (I just might be feeling the ill effects of all the tobacco smoke right about now; I normally don't patronize those types of establishments;)).
I arrived at about 6PM and stood in a long, snaking line for about 3 hours. At the start of the line, each person was given an application form to fill out, which took me about 30 minutes to read through and give answers. At the end of the line, a group of 15 people were called into another room (which was considerably less smoke-filled, or I may have just gotten used to the smoke at that time). Once there, the group was gathered around a table with one of the crew (a contestant coordinator, I presume) who the proceeded to collect the application forms and then ask questions to each of us, going around the table. This was presumably to gauge how each of us might do on TV, and to help determine if they thought each person might be a good fit for the show. Each group was then informed that if any of the applicants were to be called back within 2 weeks, each person so picked were to bring a minimum of 4 "supporters" to a place to be designated for the tryouts.
The audition part lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, after which each of the group left for home. There were 2 other groups of 15 in the same room with a different crew member. No mock game was played at all.

Not that it matters, but On Camera Audiences confirms Deal will be taping at Sunset Gower going forward.
