This just in! New season of Millionaire (2018) seeks contestants

[acthomas]

One thing I’ll add for those considering WWTBAM: my friend the contestant has been on both J! and now Millionaire. He commented that the Green Roon experience at Millionaire, though interminable, was more pleasant than the one at J! We both attributed this to the lack of competition between contestants in Millionaire.

I definitely buy that. Far less latent combative instinct when you can root for each other openly.

Were you in the green room with your friend the contestant?

Yup, 7 straight hours with no phones or books . But we had a constant feed of Millionaire reruns to keep us amused

Does your friend know his air date yet?

They were very vague on that front, which comported with the general sense of chaos (in stark contrast to the machine-like efficiency of J!) that surrounded the taping: at numerous points throughout the day it was paibfully clear that the right hand had no clue what the left hand was doing. Our best guess is late Oct/early Nov, but I’ll give a heads up when I hear (according to the producers that will be 7 days before airing — did I say chaotic?)

They rarely know the airdate at the time of taping. Episodes are shown out of order, and the way the show is edited, they can even show contestants in any order they want as long as Chris Harrison is wearing the same suit.

The only times they might know the airdates at the time of taping is when there is a special week, and those dates are already planned.

I got my email notice about a week prior to air, some people got theirs with more notice, some with less.

I made it through both Skype interviews but looks like I didn't get the call this time. Oh well

There’s still time! I auditioned this weekend at TCONA and the casting person told me, “We’re going to try and get you on this season so keep your schedule clear”, then they had me fill out all the paperwork. I bet she says that to all the boys...

He's right. There's still time. Not much, but they are still calling people.

Why the vagueness?

I hope alietr is being coy about a personal tape date, but in other news...

I got The Call and taped this past Monday. And then my +1 got it and I was her +1 Tuesday.

Fun times had by all.

I got 5 days notice between The Call and taping, so don't give up hope yet if you haven't heard!

Congrats and best of retroactive luck! It seemed like I heard of several tcona people at millionnaire. I saw Yogesh Raut about to audition while I was there... Just give him the million.

Great to meet you in Vegas acthomas - I would have liked more time to talk hockey/stats/trivia, but the 500 question line moved too fast!

Glad it felt fast, more glad I could speak afterwards

It may be just as well anyway since I'm in the jury duty pool for September.

You're in a jury pool for an entire month?

In my county, apparently you're liable to be summoned at any point in a given month.

Yikes. I'm guessing it isn't a large population there.
