Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
5/15 ep. Bonus round, so no multiple choice
What was Dodie Smith's sequel to her book "The Hundred and One Dalmatians"?
Of course, the contestant guessed "102 Dalmatians".
If asking who was the winner of the first Indy 500 was a 1/100 shot for contestants on the show then this has to be 0.5/100.

I taped an episode of Switch yesterday! I sat on my J! news way back when, and I've decided I don't want to do that this time.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Thanks for the sharing the good news early. It was not until I saw the exclamation point that I realized you taped an appearance as a contestant and not some rerun episode for home viewing as I was expecting a general comment about a past airing.seaborgium wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 7:49 pm I taped an episode of Switch yesterday!

Here's to your J! bio page getting a line with a $ and not just an "appeared on..."
GSN better not make the shuffle have your game closer to ep. 65 for the second season.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Yeah, I was writing it and I thought that punctuation would eliminate ambiguity there. The contestant coordinators said ours was the best episode of the day, so I would guess that bodes either very well or very poorly for how soon I'll actually be on.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 8:34 pmThanks for the sharing the good news early.

Who knows! There's no continuity between episodes, so they can air them in the order they deem best. We were told that we'll be notified a couple weeks before our shows go out.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
You just taped a couple days ago. The promo for Season 2 came out a couple weeks ago so you taped later than many others for the season.seaborgium wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:40 amYeah, I was writing it and I thought that punctuation would eliminate ambiguity there.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Anecdotally, from a couple people I know who have been on GSN in the past year, they air episodes roughly in tape order. They do tend to space out wins, so if you win, it might be sooner than later, else you’re going to have to wait until the last two or three weeks of the season.
Congrats!

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Stefan, do you know how many episodes of Switch were taped? The season of Hey Yahoo! taped at least 100 episodes per video that was posted on GSN’s YouTube channel yesterday. Only 52 episodes ended up airing. Season 2 of Get a Clue and Season 3 of Chain Reaction also did not reach 65 episodes.
Is your show definitely going to air?

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
I think at least five episodes were taped when I was there. They say they'll contact us maybe a week or two in advance when our show is about to air.LucarioSnooperVixey wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2023 11:42 pm Stefan, do you know how many episodes of Switch were taped?

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Christopher came insanely close to THE perfect game. Getting question #1 right and taking number 1 from the start and getting every multiple choice question correct. In the Bonus Round went 5-4-3-2 without missing and he did not get the next question right and missed a couple after that and failed to win the $10k as expected since there was a $10k winner on Monday.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Switch"
Jeopardy! and Switch are sending each other vibes this week. Pygmy chimpanzee(Asked on J! on Tuesday.) and Fozzie Bear's catchphrase(Asked on J! on Wednesday) were asked on Switch on Friday.

Only 2/5 for the US President who signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
I really hope Stefan is going to be on soon.

Nope, that's something they should all know. Not sorry.

Only 2/5 for what Joules measure. Correct answer Energy. The other two options were Age of a Rock and Distance in Space.
