My Deal or No Deal Day

[donnajon]

I stood in line for SIX hours to get 30 seconds on tape. The line moved constantly for the first 4 and a half hours. The they put everyone in six individual lines. And our line stopped for some reason while others kept going. We finally get up there and they changed what they told us to say so that threw me off. They origionally said to tell them about yourself and what you would do with a million dollars. When you got up there you had to say your name, age and your job. Then why you should be on the show. Well, I worked last night from 8pm to 8am and I stood in that line from 8:15 until 2! and am back at work now until 8am. I told them I should be on the show because of that and if I won the money I could quit working these crazy hours and be a stay at home mom. I was so brain dead and my legs and back were killing me by the time we got up there (I went with 3 of my sisters). I made a point of being super enthusiastic even though I forgot something I wanted to say. I think if I did well enough for them to look at my application, I'll get a call back. I did a really good job on it and it was quite funny. They said they weren't looking for any certain number of people and they could call you back in two days or six months. I'm not sure how I am going to make it until 8am but it was a lot of fun. They said there were 3000 people there but I think there were more. I probably wasted my time but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Keep us updated? I'd love to say to DH, "That's a DISer!"

Good Luck! They are going to be in my town on the 22nd. I told my DH to get ready because I plan on being there first thing in the morning. I know it's going to be a long day!

Sounds like you did a great job. Let us know if you get picked.

Go ahead and download the two page application and have that filled out before you get there. That way you can think about your answers. Also, they tell you that you only have 30 seconds but you can go as long as you want (within reason). I wish I had known that - you can't really tell how long you've been talking.

Thanks for the tips!

I made my own tape at home, and mailed it in. I was not going to spend 8 hours in line.

I hope you make it on the show, but I hope I make it even more!
