"Mega" -- on screaming families

As far as the screaming families go, they don't bother me. I can pretty much tune them out.

Hello there,
Reading a few of your comments, one particular answer caught my eyes. You replied to a person "cool down, man; it's just a game", or something along that line. Corroborated with the fact that you call yourself a "borderline psychic" it prompts me to ask you a couple of questions.
Well, it is just a game, indeed. However, scanning through the winners' list, one could not but notice that most or frequent winners come from three states: California, Colorado, and Washington. Of course, there are names from other states to ensure the "random" factor, yet the proportion is very small (talking...numbers, eh?). Is there any explanation for this FACT? How much of the "psychic" factor is involved in picking the winners of the "lucky case" at... "Random"? This show reminds me of the same deal noticed on the Overhaulin' show: people from all 50 states + Canada can apply for a car overhauling, yet only people from California are chosen. You guys indeed got the "random" factor down to...perfection. : Wink:
Nevermind talking further about the "surprise" on the contestants' faces when they are pulled from the audience... Coming with "it is still warm" pies made especially for Howie gives a hint for how "surprised" and "clueless" contestants are when picked from the crowd...
By the way, do you need to adhere to "acting weird and over joyous on the stage" in order to have a chance to get on the show?
One more thing: how "random" of a chance you folks give people to get on the show if they don't possess (hey, everyone wants to become contestant b/c of a financial rationale, isn't that right?) a camcorder or don't have the possibility to rent/borrow one, since sending a tape in is the benchmark for becoming a contestant? Some folks (detractors) might ask "hey, dude, what corner of the world you live in since you cannot afford/find a camcorder?"... But I guess I am not the only one mentioning not having a camcorder…

Do you ever get tired of contestants lying down on the floor etc? Is that just a ploy to s t r e t c h the show?

Regardless of what type of image you have, you are changing peoples lives - I think the show is absolutely great entertainment, and in alot of cases a chance to teach lessons. I actually tell people I think you are probably one of those nice sweet guys who try to be tough (if those comments that Howie repeats on the show are really true). Obviously the entire country wants to be on the show, so, banker - you're doing your job very well. I suppose having all the beautiful women and the adorable Howie doesn't hurt either!

I love the show and want to participate, I already have my team of family & friends and we are making the video. We are going to brake the bank. We are very confident. I hope we get chosen. Maggie in Sunny Miami Florida.
