TGITh

No one should be remotely surprised that I'm writing about TV and no one should be remotely surprised that I'm throwing all modesty out the window when I say I think I would be great on these tv shows. That being said, let's dig in.

POP-UP VIDEO. I like music. I like trivia. I like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. I'm just sayin...I could do good things. If only music videos were still popular.

WORLD SERIES OF POP CULTURE. Sonj, DoctorK, and myself...that's all we need to take home the $250,000 cash prize. Sonia is a movie/pop culture genius, Adam's got music covered, and I come in with the TV and celebrity gossip. We would be serious contenders.

SUPERMARKET SWEEP. I would for sure win this. I know where the expensive groceries are...health and beauty section. Small things, big prices. I would also for sure do the extra things like grind coffee for bonuses. Once I demolished the competition, I would go for the $5000 bonus round and kill it there since I watch so many commercials. This would be an easy $6000+ for me to make.

CASH CAB. Again. Trivia. and just like in Jacks or Better video poker at Mystic, you GOTTA double-up..how could you not? The video double-up is the key to the big bucks in this game.

NEXT. I would lie and make a lot of suggestive comments. If I had to guess how long I'd last...I'd say no less than 30 minutes with a high chance of a second date offer. Naturally, I'd take the money.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE. Grandma Pankonin used to give us a nickel for every puzzle we could solve. I used to practice on our 1990 Mac computer, we had the floppy disk game of Wheel of Fortune and 'Vanna White' was just a blinking cursor with a face. I think we used to call her Chicken McNugget. Anyway, if I have one talent, it's filling in blanks.

AMAZING RACE. I tried out for this show and we made it to the semifinals. Besides being a fun show to be on, I've always wanted to put my fast walking to good use. I also have the inability to relax which I think is probably the #1 quality of a good TAR contestant.

SURVIVOR. Made it to the Top 30 for Survivor: Gabon..no, really, it's not a big deal..I would play the nice girl who never wants to lie or stab anyone in the back...but would anyway. I'm also competitive to the point that I know I would be kept around until they merge the tribes and from there, I can manuever my way to the final four, tag teaming alliances because I have commitment issues. Does anyone still watch this show besides the McClouds? Didn't think so.



Shows I would not be good at: Jeopardy, Rock of Love: Bus, Top Chef, and anything involving a talent other than manipulation and solving puzzles.
