Have fun with it, be loose, and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. You wouldn't believe how many people passed the test at my audition only to fail to speak loudly and clearly, answer in the form of a question, or choose the next clue right away when it was their turn in the mock game. You got this.
Yes, good luck. I would use your appearance against Ken Jennings in your favor as a reason to have a chance to play again on that stage. Plus your sports knowledge of course. Hope to see good news here (or FB) soon.

Yes, the scoreboard puzzle was an insta-guess.
By the end of the season it's possible that David's 3000 out of 4000 DD wager or guess at the end will not matter for having missed the top three. We'll see. I would guess there is an alternate slot to be with the top 3? That would be a paid for trip and a stipend? Who's to say one of the top 3 don't have some kind of conflict to keep them out, so even with no chance to crack the leaderboard it could be worth it to go for the #4 slot?
Badminton is on everyone's study list for the show, right? It seemed like the most obvious guess and I could think of no reason to try a different sport on the clue. If that had been a FJ! clue on regular J! it seems like it would not have been out of place.
