Game Shows

(Yes, there is a reason I’m writing on this topic, but that will come up later.)

Personally, I dislike game shows. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of Jeopardy every now and then (the nerdy side of my shows through), but every day? Most definitely not!

I’ve never understood why certain people (*cough*cough*my mom*cough*) are obsessed with these game shows. It’s not like the watchers are winning thousands of dollars and extravagant prizes. I don’t see why people get excited over other people who they most likely do not know winning large sums of cash. I don’t understand it (being the kind of selfish person I am). I would rather not waste my precious time watching other people win money.

But on the other side of the coin, what if I got on a game show and won a bunch of money? Wouldn’t I then want a whole bunch of people to watch me on TV, my friends, my family, and even people I do not know?

Not being a huge fan of game shows, you probably wouldn’t think I’d ever consider even trying out to be a contestant on a game show. Yet, one Thursday a couple months ago, that’s exactly what I was doing. And what d’ya know, I got on. Whoop de freakin’ do.

Actually, it is kind of a big deal for me. I am a rather selfish person (see above), and I like money. Can you blame me? I like books and new clothes. To get those, I have to have money. To get money…I have to win a bunch on a game show. (Okay, I could get a job, but this is much simpler). So, even if I don’t particularly like a certain game show, I wouldn’t say no to winning a bunch of money on that show.

…Which brings me to the purpose of my post. I’d like to invite/ask/beg all of you to watch me and my BFF on Wheel of Fortune this coming Wednesday, October 22 at 7:30 p.m. PST. Pretty please? It would make my day! You might even discover my real name (if you do not know it already) if you pay extra special attention.
