Any response or adivce from our two most recent hot seat occupants? Or anyone for that matter..." As the producers freely admit, the show is in a state of transition procedurally right now. Producer duties are being changed, and a lot of things have yet to sort out. That being said, my guess is that they'll take the people 1) who are most likely to win big money, and 2) have several things Regis can talk to them about, in that order of importance. They WANT to give away a lot of money - that keeps the ratings up. And they want people who can talk to Regis about things, but they don't seem to want too odd or bizarre things. Several people at my audition tried singing, or telling some odd tales, to impress the coordinators. I tried to be myself. I got The Call, they didn't. For auditions, score high on the test and be natural when you talk, and you'll probably get on. Also, a word to the people who've auditioned and made it to the end, but have not yet been called. Don't despair. Apparently, they were in a bind to get contestants to tape this weeks shows in a hurry. (In fact, some people from the Miami audition got The Call two days after the audition!) So they went down the list, and got the high test scorers from each site who could go to New York on short notice - and it also looks like they tried to mix it up so that people from the same audition session didn't tape the same show. In other words, a postcard and Call may very well still come your way. Tom
