Online test: January 2016

Vegas audition: July 15
The Call: February 8, 2017
(My tape date is March 8 and it will air at the end of June.)

I. Got. The. Call. I GOT THE CALL!

It's definitely still sinking in. It came when I was in a choir rehearsal and couldn't answer my phone. I freaked out when I looked afterwards and saw that the number was from Culver City. Then I listened to my voicemail and it was one of the coordinators asking to verify my info and (the whole "pre-call" call thing that happens sometimes). I told myself it didn't mean anything for sure ... I called back as soon as I got done with my next class, and answered all the questions ... and then Ryan, the contestant coordinator I was talking with, just launched right in and told me they wanted me to be on the show. At which point I ... was relatively calm on the phone, but my mind was doing cartwheels and then some. (I didn't expect it all to happen in the same call. On top of not expecting to even get a call in the first place.)

This was my fifth audition (and my first Adult one). I know for a fact I wouldn't be at this point without all of you folks here, which is why I'm so excited to make this post.

All of this seems so surreal to type. It's certainly going to be an exciting ride!

Congratulations, Brandon!!

Awesome, Brandon! Can't wait to see you!

Thanks for sharing the great news, Brandon. Congrats on getting "The Call" which is indeed a pleasure for anyone fortunate enough to receive one.

When they called, did you tell them you were a felon?

J/k! Have a great time and best of luck!

Great news Brandon! Nice to see a regular get it! (And it's worth noting how many times he said he was in the pool, for those (like me) currently a bit down they have to towel off yet again)

WTG, Brandon! Can't wait to see you on the show. The questions are guaranteed to be easier than mine

You have plenty of information stored in your noggin, so you're going to do fine. Have fun!

Best of luck to you, Brandon! If you are not flying home right after taping, come by O'Briens on Wilshire in Santa Monica for pub quiz. I'll bet you may recognize some of the people there that evening since we have a number of regulars who have been on J!

Good luck, Brandon. When J! got rid of the age limit for the college tournament, I was hoping that they would have more non-traditional college students like you, but at least you get to be on the show.

So, not as exciting as The Call, but a little Thunderbirdy told me LA's going to have an audition on 16 March, too.
