It began in 2021 when I submitted my first application and audition video. After not hearing back, I tried again in 2022. I went through two online auditions and heard nothing, so I reapplied in 2023. Again, I had a couple online auditions, but didn't advance. I tried again in 2024. Determined to get on the show, I reapplied in 2025. In April 2026, I applied again. Six days later, I was auditioned online with five others This audition was just a "tell me about yourself" audition.  Eleven days later, I was auditioned again, testing my puzzle-solving skills.
