Is it the same format as the former Bob Stewart game?  If not, how is it played?

Do a search on the forum and look for Chain Reaction pilot.

I know it may be wishful thinking, but I'm still hoping for a NY homebase for the show.
Now if I could wrangle up two friends (or acquaintances), I'd apply.

Yes, the game plays quite like the Cullen version, as per a report of the pilot taped in late March.

Embassy Row emailed me yesterday.  It's officially picked up and will start taping in early July.  I'll find out if in LA or NYC.

Not sure if I like the "Battle of the Sexes" aspect of this new production.  I enjoyed the show better with celebrities, plus the teams rotated, so juggernauts were less common.  The Canadian version without celebs just didn't have the sparkle of the Cullen version.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I just submitted the application.

After what I thought was the only page to fill out, it brings you to a page where you are asked to upload a photo.

You can select the option that you don't have one, but it looks like you'll have to submit one by mail.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Then you probably won't like this version...if they keep the style of the pilot (which, btw, had mixed sex teams, all with a common bond...no, not like "Hot Potato") then you'll see a quick, easy, painless, dry gameshow done on the cheap, played for a little money and a few laughs.

In other words, exactly, IMHO, what GSN needs for their daytime sched. And a lot more of them at that.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm working at a summer camp for the entire summer, I'd submitting an application right now.

Anyways, this is really good news.

Another thing to make sure your teammates do: get their apps in ASAP. Mine are a little slow in doing so.

How did they conduct said interview, just so I have some idea what to expect whenever I go in for it?
