hard times

Well I got bumped from this set of tapings for Backatcha! I will be on the next set which tapes at the end of October. That's actually good because it gives me a bit more time to prepare and stuff. I went to the orientation last Wednesday. We went to the set of where the tapings will be, which is in the same room as the newscast set. That set is very small. Interesting to note that the Weather Lab is not in a separate room like I thought but is right next to the main desk area. Very strange. We met with the producer (we being all the contestants) and Jeff Lyons, the host. We ran thru some practice games to get a feel for how things will work at the tapings. The questions were once again hard for me and a bit unnerving since it is starting to make me feel dumb. Fortunately we watched an episode this weekend where I knew most of the answers. That helps my confidence a bit. The new shows start airing this coming weekend, so check them out if you are able to do so. I've already scheduled them on PVR!
