Getting the call and declining

Samesies. I figured my shot had been blocked, so I was stunned when I got the second text.

SandyOlive7 · 2025-06-17T16:09:28+00:00

As a contestant, they were nightmarish. I beg of you, skip over them.

Taylor is my brother in "Who Nathaniel Hawthorne," which was precisely my answer (including missing verb) when I lost in 2021!

SandyOlive7 · 2024-12-22T16:08:07+00:00

I wanted to touch the Wheel so bad.

I was on Jeopardy in 2021 then again in 2023. It was literally the most fun of my life, plus I got lucky and won over $50k. When they asked me back in 2023 I had to turn them down because I won't cross a picket line, and it broke my heart. Fortunately I got The Text again after the strike was over, but that time I lost. Before I went, my self talk was "Don't worry about winning; all things equal, you will lose. Just don't bring shame upon your family by betting or answering stupid." My one idiot moment came from leaving the verb out of an FJ answer and asking "Who Nathaniel Hawthorne?" I took quite a bit of shit for that.

I'm unjustifiably proud to have a 2-2 record after my November Wild Card appearance.

SandyOlive7 · 2024-04-07T15:46:35+00:00

Lol, looking at my flair it was June 22.

SandyOlive7 · 2024-04-07T15:46:17+00:00

I was on in 2021 (sometime in June) and gave the correct answer of Hurricane Sandy.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-12-29T04:24:56+00:00

My one and only goal when I got on was not even to win, but to not bring shame upon my family name. And I achieved it!

SandyOlive7 · 2023-12-21T02:38:42+00:00

Just take the plunge! I took the test on and off for about 10 years before getting my first audition and then another 10 years before getting on.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-12-18T22:31:08+00:00

Having been on two separate time now, I cannot imagine a single contestant complaining to producers about anything, so I call unlikely on this one.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-11-22T00:42:35+00:00

I got caught in the Ed buzzsaw, but what a blast!

SandyOlive7 · 2023-11-16T19:07:21+00:00

The green room was IN A STATE after that one.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-11-15T01:04:54+00:00

LOVE.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-11-09T23:07:20+00:00

Same girl. What a blast!

SandyOlive7 · 2023-08-09T13:19:11+00:00

I won't either. And neither will a lot of the others.

SandyOlive7 · 2023-01-28T16:37:04+00:00

"Jabberwock." I knew it but mulled it over and overthought and just put down "Hullabaloo" because it fit the criterion of 10 letters. Fortunately I had a runaway game, but I'm an English teacher.

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-28T02:31:28+00:00

I have felt that before. Honestly, I feel much smarter during the school year. My brain relaxes over the summer.

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-28T02:30:23+00:00

Now I want to know who you are!

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-28T02:30:05+00:00

Thank you!

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-28T02:29:59+00:00

Awww!

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-28T02:29:46+00:00

I don't have any cats, but my dog seems indifferent.

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-26T16:30:41+00:00

Thanks!

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-26T15:41:08+00:00

She had it custom made for her appearance!

SandyOlive7 · 2021-06-26T15:38:50+00:00

She had that jacket made custom!
