he almost doesn't let her pass
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
my sister was living in San Fransisco in her early 20's....decided to go to LA and got into The Price is Right taping....
she filled out a questionnaire after making the cut, and she just happened to be unemployed for that brief time in her life (something like 2 months)
the person handling/advising the applicants told her flat out - Not to hold your breath...when they were calling out contestant names
not sure if it's still handled the same way
that's something I'd probably end up doing but that's because my short term memory is horrendous and I'd only remember my guess
