emd3 -- thank you so much for the kind words! We're still a bit in shock over the whole experience.

I'm thinking we'll all be rooting for Lee Ann before too long.

Topping this thread to say I was selected to compete on the show. If you tune in January 8th, you can see how I did.

So glad I saw this. Good luck If you already did the show, then good luck to your past self (aka the teen novel "When You Reach Me").

Lee Ann, I can't wait to see your episodes ~ of course, more than one! I survived the audition in Boston last month... got some right, some wrong and had quite a good time! Thanks for your tips, too. You'll have quite the nationwide audience on Jan. 8th!

Congrats and good luck! We'll all have to log in here on the 8th and comment on the show (though I know it airs at different times in different markets).

I took the test for Millionaire back when Regis still hosted. I didn't make it to the next level of interviews, but it was fun!

LOL Debit! I don't actually get paid until April.

5alive, I went to LA in October to tape.

tekwriter, I was wondering how your audition went! I really hope they call you.

Lee Ann- that is a definite SPOILER!! So you won at least one night, if you get paid in April!

I have told 4 people today that I know someone who is going to be on Jeopardy, lol!

Well...not really, emd3. Everyone who gets on the show gets something - the champion gets the $$ they won, second place gets $2000, and third place gets $1000.

Saying any more than that about my results would be a spoiler.

Oh, we thought only the winner gets the dough. Now we know, we have the inside scoop!

Once you get picked to be on, do they put you up in the hotel and pay your travel expenses, and what else do they cover?

On my calendar too! I told my family and they all want to watch too. I think you'll have a lot of housefuls cheering you on.

Btw sorry if the reference is obscure. In When You Reach Me, the main character's mother is trying to win $25,000 Pyramid and time as a theme figures prominently.

emd3, once you're selected, you pay your own expenses. They give a discount at a Doubletree near the studio, which is nice because the shuttle takes you to the taping. If you are a returning champion, they pay your airfare if you have to come back.

I will write a completely new trip report after the show airs.
