Your reality/game show....15 mins of fame

The biggest difference between actually playing the game and playing on your couch is that at home you can answer EVERY question you know the answer to - on the game itself you are hostage to the buzzer. If you are a millisecond too slow, you don't get to answer.
My favorite Jeopardy! story is the one they tell about the contestant who decided to relax by having a few drinks. She couldn't buzz in during the first part of the game - during the break (they film in real time) the game show people went to check out her buzzer - turns out she was using the big, heavy pen you use to sign in and for final Jeopardy! as a buzzer!
And I'm sorry to burst your bubble on Alex - but it's been covered by other contestants. He really is quite self-absorbed and impressed with himself (despite having the answers right in front of him!)

i absolutely love 1 vs 100 and $100,000 Pyramid, but would rather go on Deal or No Deal. i dont think i would take my man, as he tends to have violent spells and screams at people thru the tv when its on...i swear he would have full blown stroke if he were on the show with me.

"what the hell is wrong with you??? hit the button! DEAL!! DEAL!! its up to $425k, whats your problem????"

i have to turn it off and make him leave the room. its quite funny!

LMAO that is great. so did they bring it up on the show? did they retape it or did she just end up screwed?

and Alex doesnt look like the jerky type. Now Pat Sajak... didnt he do coke back in the day? he looks sketch.

My dream was to go on the Price Is Right and meet Bob Barker and to win the showcase show down.

Now, all I can do is hope that I run into him at LAX.

tld221 - She was screwed. Jeopardy! will not protect you from your own stupidity.

Reality: The Amazing Race. All those countries and they get to do fun stuff! Actually, I've talked about applying with either my bro or bf. Between my bf and I, we speak English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Russian...I figure that would give us a leg up

Game Show: Deal or No Deal, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, or the Price is Right. The first two because you can win so much money playing an easy game, and the last because it's legendary.

Reality: Trading Spaces, Extreme Home Makeover.. any show that will get part of my house re-done!

Game Show: Deal or No Deal, Wheel of Fortune, Lingo (show I've only seen on GSN, with Chuck Woolery!)
