I bet you're all dying to know...
... how we did on those Millionaire auditions, right?
Well, they happened yesterday. Basically, everyone had to take a written test (30 questions in 10 minutes). When we walked in, the papers were already set up on the table, and it just felt like we were going in to take the SATs or something, lol.
But anyways, we took the test, and sadly we did not pass it. Some questions were easy, but some were pretty tough, even the pop culture stuff was kind of obscure. But the guy running the auditions was like "to anyone who didn't pass, feel free to try again, we'll be having auditions until Thursday."
So while both me and Ariana were disappointed, we figured "hey, why not try again tomorrow? There's nothing to lose." So when we got home, we signed up and we were accepted again.
So today was round 2. I wound up playing the Millionaire game on their website all day as a means of "studying." I also googled in all the questions from the test that I didn't know the answers to that I could remember.
This time, we were less nervous. We figured, the worst they could say is we didn't pass again. Plus, we didn't even know how much we missed by the day before. We could have missed by 5 answers, or heck, we might have only missed by one (they don't tell you). So we just went for it. We felt better about ourselves this time though, especially since we knew what to expect. So we took the test again, and they actually had some of the same questions from the day before! Including some that I had just googled the answers to earlier in the day! So that was very good for us! Plus, I had a feeling I did well on the newer stuff.
Once they graded the tests, they began calling the numbers of the couples that passed and they actually called our number! Both me and Ariana passed the test! They then took a picture of us, and we had a short, five minute interview with one of the producers of the show. I think we did decently on that, plus any fears we had on that were alleviated when we spoke to the doorman as we were leaving. The guy was friendly, and had actually wished us luck going in, b/c he recognized us from the day before, so we started chatting with him. He mentioned to us to not worry about the callbacks, b/c he said they'll callback almost everyone b/c they need the people, since there are a few tapings of the show and not a lot of people were passing the tests. So that made us feel pretty good.
Now we just have to wait the 3-4 weeks for the postcard that will tell us our fate. Our fingers and toes are currently crossed and I will be praying non-stop til then. Wish us luck!!
