My sister and I have always talked about going on The Real World.
I have contemplated auditioning for American Idol because I have so many years of training and awards under my belt. But, honestly, I have better things to do than stand in a line for days on end.
I'd also really like to go on Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader.

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 TV is a contridiction of terms.
Have I mentioned that before?

Reality:
The Amazing Race
The Mole
The Real World - but old-school Real World, where everyone didn't all have the same job and you had to have a reason to be in that city. I'd be the one you weren't sure was actually on the show because I'd be out and about exploring the city instead of getting drunk and having drama with the roommates. 
If I could design clothing, Project Runway. I love Tim Gunn! Maybe I can be on his Guide to Style instead. 
Blind Date might be kind of fun.
Game shows:
Jeopardy
Rock & Roll Jeopardy
The Price Is Right
Remote Control (I loved that show. I kicked butt at it, too!)
Win Ben Stein's Money
Family Feud
The Dating Game - but only if I was the person who got to pick from the three bachelors.

I was on the Weakest Link a few years ago and won it. It really didn't matter much except for the fact that the girls on the show all wanted to blow me afterwards. Actually I was scared like heck during the show...people in the crowd actually scream at you during breaks and probably should have taken a valium to seem less nervous.
I want to be on the Ultimate Fighter. Or Making the Band so I could slap puffy and sleep with his dance instructor. Also that Blind Date show sounds fun...I'd mess with the girl's head so bad.
