Me too.
"Alex, I'll take Marijuana for $100, please"
I wanted to be on Double Dare as a kid
Super Market Sweep
I would set up shop in the Turkey Ball area as that was the most expensive products.
Then move onto Family Feud.

Me and my wife were running around the supermarket the other day as we had to be somewhere and we both said we were living out our dream of being on supermarket sweep. However banker cat already said that and stole my thunder :chairshot:
The odd thing about Jeopardy is that I tend to do better in the second round than the first.
I know it doesn't make sense but it's true.

I hate college Jeopardy because it's always 3 supposed Ivy League geniuses and they ask the easiest questions.
As a kid: Price is Right. Mainly to be live and in person in close proximity to Barker's Babes. I was mesmerized...especially when boats and vacations were part of the package and they wore bikinis.
Also as a kid: No whammies! No whammies!
As an adult: Jeopardy

Especially if you are the guy that figured out the whammy pattern. Ultimately things didn’t turn out great for him.
I’m choosing to look at it as being too surreal to not be true.
And I’d like to think that just once while torturing somebody, he stopped, grinned, clapped his hands, and said, “I’ll be right back with more...stuff.”
Supermarket Sweep is a damn good show. I regularly scream at the TV if they don't get the olive oil. At Christmas time last year Kroger had a big display full of hams wrapped in red and gold foil. I had an overwhelming compulsion to grab them all, like a PTSD flashback.
As a kid, the one I did NOT want to be on was Wheel of Fortune. They used to win a dollar amount and then have to spend that money buying stuff from a prize room. The prizes were crap and the price was a ridiculous retail price they just pulled out of their butts. They always had junk like porcelain figures, umbrella stands, and crap artwork. It looked like an old woman's yard sale.
I guess that, to be a contestant on, I'd pick Match Game. I'd just answer every "blank" as "dick". I'm pretty sure that would never lose.

I don't think there is a difficulty difference between the two rounds. Just different questions worth more money. I have done better in first rounds and other times in the second rounds. It all just depends on the categories. I suck at literature, politics, and a few other categories. I usually do pretty well on the college weeks and of course the high school ones but that one should be expected.
As a young kid I wanted to be on Double Dare. I believe that show started the people getting slimed thing. As an adult I always liked trivia shows. So Jeopardy is probably #1. I watched a bunch of different stuff though. I also liked Don't Forget The Lyrics while it was on.
A buddy of mine got to the showcase on the Price is Right about five years ago. Won a car too and some trip to Brazil or something.
They like to pick people based on some interesting story or whatever. He did rehab for vets and others so they liked him and chose him.

Which games? I always wanted that one where you try to avoid getting by Sky or Tubro shooting at you while you make your way to hit a target. I also liked the last event.
Would probably get rocked in that one game where you had a ball and had to bypass the gladiators to get it into the bin.
Also liked the hamster cage one.
There was one where you jumped off a platform while attached to a bungee and bounce around (swingshot maybe?). The airgun/airbow thing looked pretty fun.
And Rocketball.
