Although it is just a silly game show, it is very competitive and intense once you get on stage. The level of intensity is a lot higher that I realized. You're trying to pay close attention while clapping and cheering at everything that moves, all the while thinking about your answer and the other answers that someone already said and all of a sudden you just can't think of a word that rhymes with "butter." Aaagh! Wait, I had a better answer! But the game is already into the next round. It goes by so quickly. But no excuses--we bombed and had a great time doing it.
The upshot of the weekend was getting to see Hollywood and the Sunset Strip and hanging out with my goofy cousins. Despite (or because of) the stress level at the studio, we laughed all day long. It was a surreal, silly day and I'm glad I got to do it. The Price is Right, anyone?
fyi: the episode won't air until May of 2008. (Maybe everyone will have forgotten about it by then and won't watch my amazingly terrible answer to the first question.)
