I WAS drinking and I feel pretty damn good about it! I had three people in the room shouting answers though (four if you count Mrs P). I don't think we missed more than ten though. I feel good about it this year.

So is it too late to register for tomorrow night? Does anybody know around what you have to score to possibly get a call?

It's commonly believed to be somewhere north of 40/50 to get an audition. Even then it's a random draw.

I have friends who routinely score 45 and above who have never been called.

A guy from Gonzales was on there last year the week of thanksgiving. He was leading going into final jeopardy but didn't get the question right.

Turns out, the guy is my brother.

I have a hard time answering questions on Whammy much less Jeopardy. Good luck.

Goddammit!! I had two people in my room screaming "pot". If I had a second to think I probably would have said coffee. I think I put rum.

I believe most people think it's 35/50 to be in the pool eligible for auditions

I once got a callback for college jeopardy, my freshman engineering lab partner actually made it that year. This was my first time taking the adult test, but I feel that I scored in the 40-45 range. Was really mad at myself for remembering Eudora Welty 2 seconds into the next question. Struggled with a lot of the other author questions. Nailed everything else. I'll be sure to let y'all know if I'm one of the lucky random draws.
