Picking up from last time –
So, then they took me off to the side of the stage while Pay did the goodbye.
I thought I was waiting for a contestant coordinator to take me back to the contestant area, so I started taking down my hair. I just wanted to hide and get out of there. And get my hair down, and all that.
But then someone came up to me and was like “no, no! Keep your hair up! You’re gonna chat with them at the end.”
I assumed only people who won the bonus round got to chat at the end, but I was wrong.
Anyway, when we all went out there, I said how disappointed I’d been in myself and how my dad joked I shouldn’t even bother coming home if I won anything less than $63,000.
And Vanna was like “well, if you makes you feel better, even getting the bonus puzzle, you wouldn’t have gotten that much” hahahahaha.
Okay, that makes me feel a little better. I talked a little about how I knew every mistake I made and please don’t think I’m an idiot.
And then they didn’t really care about all the twists and turns of anything I did wrong, and instead, they started asking me about BMI, which was actually really nice, because they seemed to have a genuine interest in the program I was doing and my future dreams.
Then when the cameras cut, I was indeed taken back to contestant holding.
And that concludes my game!
I will ultimately talk about the rest of the day (signing the papers, leaving the studio), but it’s all straightforward, so don’t hold your breath.
I’m just gonna start at the very beginning for like the ‘admin’ side of it – from the Wheelmobile, to sending in the tape, etc. – just the whole entire thing. And I’ll do the day through when I leave Sony.
Then we’ll do FAQs, etc. So, I think we’ve still got a lot to go!
And I’ll start in on all that tomorrow!
