Negatory. All quiet on the brightest front.

All I've heard from my friends in the process is that they'll be taping in August sometime. If they're anything like 500 Questions, I was called on a Wednesday for a flight out for taping on Saturday.

May contact the contestant coordinators later this week -- the "one month" wait mentioned previously has come and gone.

As mentioned previously, those who've received the full disclosure on the show have been told to be available "from August to November", so I'm under the presumption that any taping starts next month.

You can't just drop a bomb like that and stroll out casually. What have you heard?

I heard "midseason replacement." If you haven't noticed, they put the brakes on the casting process.

I knew there had been radio silence, but I had gone as far in the process as there was to go so I wasn't sure what to think.

How is everyone doing on the casting? I know "Nation's Brightest" is an NBC show for prime time. Jeff Apploff is the EP behind it and the "Boom" show they are also behind is currently airing on FOX. That's about all I know, I swear.
