Me, on the other hand, I was there for the free TV. Didnt win it tho, but did have a nice weekend away on the Queensland gold coast.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot.....I couldnt see where I was supposed to stand...I came bouncing out the front, looking for my x which was apparantly marked, went passed it so laughed, turned around and went back out the back. The bastards kept filming, and used it as the ad for the whole week!!!! Actually, it was funny.

I did that, then I got a phone call saying that I'd got down to the last 100 & we were to go to London for a days filming, where Derren would get the numbers down to 5. I went & it was paranoia city baby!!! There were a number of challenges & tests, I got down to joint 16th, there was one round after I left, which I would have got through if I'd have been there, because I figured it out right away when they told me, (I was outside waiting for a friend) I was a bit gutted, but a bloke from our group got through & ended up being the one to load the gun, so that was cool for him!

Re: Would You Go on a Game Show?
You never know how things might turn out...
The year I got married 2oo2 my mum called into the Richard and Judy show game line on the premium call rate... I just rolled my eyes and said you will never get on 2 mins later a person from the show called back and said she had been selected to play... it was one of those games where they fire the questions at you and you get money for each on you answer. Well a week later she got a check for £9000 in the mail... not bad for 30 seconds work.
