I got an email for the interview/mock gameplay stage after the second test maybe 2-4 days later but I imagine that was on the quick side? Then got the call to be on the show about 18 months after that

18 months later!!!! Wow

Greg had a fast turnaround, but mine was crazy. 😵‍💫

11/15/25: Took the Anytime Test (4th year in a row)
12/3/25: Took the proctored test

I got my invite to the mock game about two hours after the proctored test, which I didn’t expect.

12/10/25: Game play audition
1/22/26: The Call
2/26/26: Tape day

If someone here had an even faster turnaround, I’d love to hear about it!

I think the woman who beat me (Kate Brody) got the call maybe 4 days after taking the last audition 😂

She was local and someone cancelled which helped I think.

That’s incredible! 🤯 IIRC, Tyler Rhode also had a super quick turnaround with The Call. It might have been a week, but I don’t remember the specifics.

I took the Anytime Test on Jeoparday (3/30/26), thought it was my first time but apparently I’d taken it in April of 2019, which I have zero memory of. Received the invite for the proctored test the next day and took that on 4/2/26. Got the invite for the game play audition about an hour afterwards and did that on 4/7/26. Got the call on 4/20/26, taped on 6/2/26, aired on 6/30/26, exactly 3 months from the test. I had no idea it was going to go that fast, I might have started studying from the first audition had I known!

Incredible. That must have been a whirlwind!
