Do we KNOW that Raleigh was skipped, or are some assuming that since nobody on this board knows anything about auditions there?

Crickets everywhere...but of course they COULD have flown in there in stealth mode, unlikely, but it COULD happen.

There was something weird about the audition city selection this go-round, but it was there
It wasn't originally. I had to go back in and make a choice.
I somehow registered without a selection at first. When I logged into my profile later, there was an option for selecting an audition city.

I hope we get to try out in Cleveland because I've never been and it's one of our candidate cities for where to live. Also, I've never auditioned before, and it would be hard to know I might have gotten an audition if not for my city choice.

Let's watch out for each other when the Cleveland audition comes up. We can car pool.

I'm pretty sure they did go to Raleigh. There was no online indication of adults getting audition invitations there, but they did do a teen audition in Raleigh. I'm guessing they did the adult audition the day before or after the teen audition day, it just didn't get reported on Twitter/reddit/this site.

I chose Philly for this last test, but I just got an email to audition 6/22 in DC.

I chose LA for this last test, but also got an e-mail for that DC audition, which I had chosen for the test before.

To make sure I understand:

This test your choice was philly
Last test your choice was la
The test before that you chose dc, and that’s the invite you got?

If I have that correct, I should be in the running for several cities...and still I don’t get that invite:p

If I did, it was years ago. Last time I took the test, I ended up at the February 2016 Seattle auditions. (And obviously was not selected for the show; in-person test was 50 questions on the 1 thing I don't know about a variety of subjects, and I let it throw me off for the rest of the audition.) This was my first opportunity to test again.

I received an invitation for Cleveland on June 29. It will be my fifth audition, with the last one in Detroit five years ago.
