You guys are mean but also funny.

Good luck TPH!

I've had several spam calls this week and hallucinated seeing a 310 area code every time. Only 17.5 more months to go...

Just auditioned in DC. A few notes. We got two tests. I thought the second was easier. My brain was pretty fried after 100 questions. Maggie wasn't there. I was disappointed. They explicitly said that the order of being called up to play means nothing. Corina stumbled over her words more than once a...

That was a fun Final. I know the alphabet but it took awhile to get to X, not sure I'd have had time to write it down if I were on TV.

Laughing my butt off at the New York Times spoiling this for the entire country with a push notification.

Two tests is gonna be rough - the mock game part is way more fun!

Hell yeah my wild guess in my one of my weaker FJ categories was right. Still counts, baby.

No disrespect to James but it's fun to watch competitive games again.

I don't think he's actually mad.

They were able to reschedule me for the 13th. Yay!

I just got a DC invite for June 17th! Yay!

Bad news is that I'm out of the country until the 19th...hopefully they have another day open. Boo!

A friend reported June 6. I'm still waiting on DC.

Washington, 38

Looks like LA invites are going out. I maintain hope that DC hasn't gone out yet.

It's well established that in the NYC area they are pronounced differently and elsewhere they aren't. This made that question very difficult for us Yankees. I'm surprised a writing staff like Jeopardy's would use a question that completely depends on your accent. Well, they do suggest you take the ...

Scary rhyming with hairy, and sherry rhyming with Jerry. Heh, those all rhyme for me too. After listening to some Mary-merry-marry examples, I'm guessing scary is pronounced more like "scaaa-ree"? Like the a in cat. (That's assuming you don't pronounce cat as "kyeaat"! Which allegedly some of us Cl...

Would simply saying clam chowder for #10 and finch for #23 have been acceptable? Thanks.

I am pretty sure they'd accept clam chowder.

I find it amusing that everyone who has complained in this thread about the "scary sherry" rhyme is a New Yorker.

EYYYYY I'M POSTIN' HEAH

For those who say scary and sherry don't rhyme, how do you say them? Scary rhyming with hairy, and sherry rhyming with Jerry. I've honestly never heard either word pronounced a different way. Same here. Like I said, it's the Mary/merry/marry thing all over again. Kind of a crap question if it depen...

Currently arguing with my wife about scary and sherry rhyming (THEY DON'T GODAMMIT)

If you think they do you're one of those weirdos who pronounces Mary, merry, and marry identically!!
