Corby and I watched a couple of shows tonight that we've never seen. Of course, I've heard about ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER, but I'd never seen it.
My gosh, I'm ALMOST as smart as a 5th grader, but I had to go to the internet to answer the $1 million question. The woman who was playing made it that far, had $500,000 in her hands, and went for the big one and lost. The million dollar question - who was the first pilot to break the speed of sound - would have done me in too. Up until that point I knew every answer. Do you know who the pilot was? Chuck Yeager! She guessed Howard Hughes. So, she went from $500,000 to $25,000. Nothing to sneeze at, but still - SHE LOST $475,000! And she said she wasn't a gambler!
Then we watched DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS!
Okay - kind of cheesy. But man, I was rockin' those lyrics tonight. I KNEW ALL OF THE ANSWERS - until - Bad Case of Loving You by Robert Palmer. It was at this same point that the contestant lost. But hey, at least this guy won $200,000! I have never had the guts to karaoke, but one of these days, I'm gonna go have a few (4 or 10) margaritas and let it all hang out! Blogger friends - wanna go?

The "Don't Forget The Lyrics" show I could totally kick butt on. In fact, I would have one the big prize one night. I knew ALL the answers. ;o(
