This may or may not qualify as a study guide, but here's the year 2020 in review:

I'm not a huge consumer of social media, but through the years I've seen some surprisingly hateful output from KJ. Smug, I can handle, but I have no use for extreme, pitiless snark without a solid punchline. Kudos to him for stepping into the breach, but, to paraphrase Stanley Hudson, I'd rather wat...

I was out of the room for the start of the J! round, but my son filled me in about the first TS.

I am just glad they never had family tournaments.

With color-coordinated team sweatshirts!

I really wanted the synesthete to win. From what I've heard (and her description), it's like a permanent acid trip, man.

She had me at "miniaturist."

Both at the audition and on the show, Glenn helped to build my confidence and maintain my energy. Now that both he and Maggie are gone, I wonder if players get the same friendly, helpful vibe from the newer contestant coordinators. Me too. All the staff were great, but Glenn and Maggie were beyond ...

Glenn ran my Chicago audition session, and he represented the show extremely well at that stage of the game and then later on at the studio. He was the first staffer to welcome the fresh meat onto the lot, and his warmth and professionalism helped break the ice and set the tone for the day. He clear...

Lynch should be moderating the debate. Totally. As her Wreck-it-Ralph character in full combat gear. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the show. I adore Jane Lynch, and her puckish severity had me howling. The jokes were a bonus. The only thing I didn't care for were the rancorous exit interviews...

Did anyone else hear Lisa pronounce Edward Murrow's name as "Morrow?" I was expecting a reversal for that.

I thought I heard "Morrow" too.

Nice work, Robert!

Thanks for the "genre" count.

We missed the first part of the show here in Chicago as local officials reacted to the Breonna Taylor case.

Last summer, in Columbus, they didn't seem to be referring to the questionnaires at all when interviewing us. I knew I was doomed at my last audition when I was the only person who was not asked anything related to the questionnaire. I guess my five stories were just too boring! I had five stories ...

Phosphine has been found in the atmosphere of Venus which might be a signature of potential life as, on Earth, it only comes from biological sources. https://gizmodo.com/scientists-detect-apparent-signature-of-life-in-venus-s-1845051001 I've heard that (*koff koff*) penguin droppings are especially...

Never knew "myriad" referred to a specific number. I actually knew the root before I knew that particular word. My dad had a book (it's still around here somewhere) called The Insomniac's Dictionary that I got into as a kid that had a bunch of stuff about words. Well, dang. I'm gonna track down tha...

Alex says "genre" today to give everyone a smile.

Can someone start an official "genre" tally?
Had to root for La Mirada, so I'm glad Joe did well.

Never knew "myriad" referred to a specific number.

Also, besides being watched by J! staff, should we be prepared to interact with them at all? I was banished upstairs while my husband took the Zoom test today, but he says it was pretty much test only. The only chitchat was to confirm all the participants were hooked up correctly. Interaction, yes,...

Forgot to mention that when I saw the category TV SHOWS BASED ON BOOKS BY WOMEN, I confidently pre-called The Handmaid's Tale . Really surprised that didn't pay off. The writers love that book almost as much as I hate it. +1 I think Kelley's energy would've played better with a studio audience, but...

Does anybody know if these auditions are only going out from the anytime test, or also from the official test they had a few months back? I haven't done the anytime test yet.

I'm pretty sure my husband hasn't taken the anytime test either, so this batch must be from the last online extravaganza.

How exactly does the question and answer component work, and somebody said you can jump backwards if you realize an answer was wrong? Would somebody mind explaining how that works? From what I gather from yesterday's message, the quiz will be formatted like the online version--type in each answer o...
