BAMBOOZLE (radio quiz show, Monday mornings)
Please read all the information before commenting! Thanks :)
This post is for sign-ups to be a contestant on Joey's new radio quiz show, Bamboozle! If you've never heard of it, this clip should get you up to date! He'll also be looking for question writers to help him compile general knowledge questions for each show. It's aired weekly on Monday mornings and he would love it if he could have a team of regular contributors to help write them. The show, hopefully, will be a huge hit, entertaining the islanders first thing, getting their brains into gear and giving them a great start to the week. As the show gains popularity (Joey's hoping to smash Stephen Colbert's ratings! :P) he'll make sure that the question writers get due credit.
Since the rules to the game are sketchy at best, the game show will be a slightly simplified version of what you see in Friends. I've devised a format for a ten week run with one winner at the end, who'll win a prize. There won't be a prize each week, since the winner of the show will be returning for another show to try to be the ultimate champion for that series. Kudos and radio fame will have to tide them over!

One winner (WINNER A)

- WINNERS: Since playing out every game is impossible, the winner from each show will need to be decided between the muns of the two contestants. Please let me know HERE as soon as you've decided and any other details you want to include. e.g. petty fights breaking out/your pups penchant for insults/troublemaking/gigglefits/fainting/yelling/not knowing ANY answers/being genius of the world etc
- Prize is to be determined at a later date but if anyone is willing to offer to make something, that'd be awesome! Please comment in this post here too!
- At some point, I promise at least one of these shows will get played out in-game - probably quarter or semi final one/s. (I've just started back at uni so am snowed under at the minute but this is way too good an opportunity to miss!) So muns of contestants who'd like to play, please to be putting if you'd be interested in playing it out as well.
- Contestants will be drawn at random (if there are enough applicants) and contacted the week prior to their show (I will reply to your application comment to let you know!). Feel free to spread the word if you're going to be on, get your friends and family listening too! Friendly banter between opponents is welcome but save the good stuff for on air!
- If a lot of people are interested in being contestants but some aren't lucky enough to be called for the first series, never fear because their names will be at the top of the list for the second series, when contestant applications will re-open!
And so to the application. It's relatively simple. Just so Joey knows a bit about your pup for between-questions bantering!
Name:
Age:
Occupation:
Time on the island:
Tell me about yourself (50-100 words will suffice) including hobbies and interests, friends and family:
Tell me a joke and/or funny story:
Fill in the missing word with whatever pops into your head:

Why do you want to be on the show?
Have you appeared on television/radio before? If so, what and when? Did you win?
How would you rate your general knowledge between 1 and 10. 10 is genius, 1 is dumb.
What would be your ultimate prize?
Do you think a woman in a bikini holding up the scores would produce a better performance from you?
Are there any recording dates you cannot attend?
Thank you and good luck!

Since the first show is tomorrow and uni has been lame with me, the first two people to comment to be contestants will be the first two on air tomorrow, the 19th January.
