MDnOH Posted October 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Does anyone know how the contestants are chosen for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted October 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2008 They are chosen right out of the audience just before the show starts. They look for a newlywed couple, a couple married about 25 years and then possibly a 50 year married couple. Anyone in the audience has a chance of making the stage. Sit as close to the stage as possible and go for it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green eyed lady Posted October 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2008 couple married the longest, newlywed couple and one married in between...like 20-25 years or so. Newlyweds have to "audition" in front of everyone to get chosen. They supposedly go by audience applause. On AOS in August one newlywed wife took her shirt off during the audition :eek: That couple was picked :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDude_83 Posted October 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Does anyone know how the contestants are chosen for this game? Normally by marriage range: Newlyweds, mid range 10-20 years married, long term marriage 40-50+years. Anyone that wants to play is asked to stand up. For the newlyweds it is either the newest married or a funny game type for selection depending on the cruise director. The middle group is from what I have see the best kisser or something like that decided by the audience and the oldest group is that longest married couple that wants to play and it is normally a funny old couple that are not afraid to say anything. We were the newlyweds on out first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted October 10, 2008 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I try to make it there early because the selection process is as fun as the game itself. Usually there is one couple that has been married the longest. On the newlyweds I've seen it 2 ways, usually it depends on how many honeymooning couples they have onboard - the couple that has been married the shortest length of time or they do a game to choose. Usually the middle couple it is a competition to see who can do the best rendition of "Ooo baby, ooo baby, I wanna play, I wanna play." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
737NG Posted October 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 10, 2008 We got nailed to participate on our Majesty cruise(married only 2 years). The CD asked for volunteers and my wife's entire family screamed and pointed at us. So sure enough we were pulled on stage. It was fun but would of been better if my wife's very catholic family wasn't in the audience to listen to the answers.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdylady Posted October 10, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2008 On our cruise in March, there were a number of newlyweds. The CD started asking what time they got married. The couple that got married the closest to the time of sailing got picked. Erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted October 10, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you really want to be on it may help to befriend the cruise director early on in the cruise and let him know that you'd love to be a participant. That route worked for us on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted October 10, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2008 WE were the newlyweds on Sov back on Sept 7th, 1997. :D There is nooooo way I would subject myself to the "oooh baby" act that the couples have to do now. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it softly and the lady in front of me kept pointing. If I ever got up on that stage with my husband, we would be divorced the next day. He loves to see me turn beet red. :eek: :rolleyes: :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabiney Posted October 11, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Does anyone know how the contestants are chosen for this game? Start by sharing a bottle of bubbly with your dinner table mates, slip into the rear of the theater to have a "laugh" at the couples on stage, hear your loving husband yell out "33 years" and then have the house cheering you onto the stage to become their "laugh" for the night. Results = instant celebrity status with no place to hide and a continuous review of the evening courtesy of in house TV. What a cruise!:o Oh, and did I memtion they actually present you with a tape to take home so you don't forget the evening. Yes we are still together, for now...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanAD62 Posted October 11, 2008 #16 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Better than what my wife and I just expericenced on the Enchantment Newlywed game.

It lasted right up until I sat in the chair on stage with the bright lights in my eyes. Then it hit. "Are ya nuts":eek: , but it was too late to find the door at that point.

I do know one thing for sure, on our next cruise I'll either be playing the slots, or getting a very expensive massage or maybe I'll be checking out the onboard shops during that time frame, but I'll be no where near the theater with this guy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
