    If anyone has sattelite or a special cable provider and have the GameShow Network channel then you'll know what I mean. The game look farely simple if you can handle 24 hours of cramming.

    If you lose, you win $500 ($250 each)
    If you win, you get $1,000 ($500 each) and have a chance at the $10,000 bonus round.

    I think its worth $250 for one day of work. Do you guys agree or do you think I'll just humiliate myself?

    Man, I am a game show freak, I say do it. They don't make you do anything really embarrassing on this show, especially considering a lot of the time the people win the $10,000 prize. The potential worst part of the show is the time when you are locked up in the room with your girlfriend and you can't go to sleep. If I were you I would totally do it.

    BTW, how did you get the chance to get on the show?

    I've never seen the show... but as long as you don't have to eat bugs, worms, animal brains, eyes or various other innards (a la Fear Factor) then go for it!

    Oh and make sure you and your girlfriend don't have narcolepsy.

    That would impair your chances.

    Yea the chem teacher at my school is Jim Larson, he was on the scandal special talking about his bro, heavy set guy, gray hair bald on top


    Htown, he did win everything he won, but according to the scandal special it said he got real greedy i guess and there was some kind of radio contest and it was to see if you have a matching serial number on a dollar bill and you could win a lot of money, and he was looking at all the bills he had and he left for some party and left the money laying around and someone broke into his house while he was gone and took all the money. Thats a HUGE blow! :eek:
