I received quite a few texts from friends that day - I didn't even realise L&N was back on.<br />I auditioned just a week before I was on - I think they came back ready to film so sped through the early auditions.<br />Bugged me that I never got a conundrum while I was on - that's usually the one thing I'm sure to get! Oh well. Still had a fun ride while it lasted!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636757667368447102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-15611984079981880682015-02-16T13:47:47.222+11:002015-02-16T13:47:47.222+11:00Yes, just enough practice, I suppose.Yes, just enough practice, I suppose.Sam Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974226775029093087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-20261011952177109052015-02-14T11:08:03.153+11:002015-02-14T11:08:03.153+11:00Oh, good catch, Justin.

Not much practice time, but at least I got 2+ months between regular episodes and finals/Masters.Sam Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974226775029093087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-61247113720532973882015-02-12T19:35:11.213+11:002015-02-12T19:35:11.213+11:00Mike: I make an appearance at episode 325; if SBS ...Mike: I make an appearance at episode 325; if SBS keeps airing without interruptions that is 13 weeks away, on May 15. I'll be somewhat surprised (but pleased) if they do keep it up that long.<br /><br />Sam: Do you really mean audition, or filming of first episode? That would be a remarkably fast turnaround time from the audition if so -- I think my filming was only a week or so after this episode aired.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-43563191092372161362015-02-12T12:00:47.442+11:002015-02-12T12:00:47.442+11:00Hmm, this game is very familiar, including that I ...Hmm, this game is very familiar, including that I got the two nine-letter words first time around.
