I just took the Jeopardy contestant test

[TrudyCampbell]

And I did okayyyy but I had to pass on a lot of questions
I'll try again next year.

BUTTT I thought of you guys because one of the questions was about the author of 11/22/63! Which I still haven't read (I know) but I knew the answer because of you gals.

I would totally watch you on Jeopardy, Trudes! I've kinda always wanted to be on Wheel of Fortune.

Also, you have to read 11/22. It was so good!

I love Jeopardy. Did you go somewhere to take the test?

No, you do it online at a specific time that they give you. I think if you get a certain score you enter a pool where people are randomly selected for an audition. So basically, it's impossible to get on haha. But I will keep trying! I rock at Jeopardy when I'm home watching it but I'd probably clam up IRL because I'm a weenie.

That's so cool that you took the test! I love Jeopardy, watch it every night. Didn't get to its final jeopardy though.

Wow, Jeopardy is hard.

I tried out for Wheel of Fortune a few times and made it to the next round, but never got selected. I get so mad when I watch and people make stupid mistakes!

My friend was on jeopardy! She won the first night, then lost the second.

Shit! I went to do it, and it won't let me register because it was too close to the test time for my time zone. This is the third year I forgot about it until it was too late! :@

Trudy, you better give me some notice next year.

I would love to see you on jeopardy!!

[TrudyCampbell]

The test is a lot harder than the actual show because the category changes with each question. On the show you have a chance to get a feel for the category which I think is easier.

Random information: My mom was on Jeopardy so long ago, Alex Trebec was not the host and the amounts were $10, $20, $30, $40, and $50. She won her first day and lost the second. She was given collectible coins as a consolation prize.

My mom was on a few game shows long before I was born. There is a picture at her house of her in a giant high chair in one of them. I've forgotten the story, but the picture is priceless!
