Good news and bad news

The bad news: I'm going to be on a science-based quiz show. LOL
Can you freaking believe it? I, Bonnie Staring, a woman who figured out a way to stop taking science classes after Grade 9, will be a contestant on Discovery Channel Canada's new game show, Qubit.
Hooray!
As I've said many a time before, it can happen people, all ya gotta do is:
1) Show up,
2) Be enthusiastic,
AND
3) Know what color a polar bear's skin is (it's black, by the way).
Of course, they may not broadcast my episode once they tape it, for fear of giving all things scientific a bad name. As with the written test I had to do before qualifying for the "on-camera" round, there are some questions that made me scratch my head and wish I was on So You Think You Can Dance.
Not dancing, mind you, and probably not thinking either. ;)
Turns out there are some scientific concepts that aren't covered in everyday life. Well, maybe they are, but I just don't know the correct terms to describe them. ;)
So now, while I'm putting the finishing touches (finally) on my current novel, I'll also have to sharpen my science skills. Or at least find them.
Can an aspiring romance author win big on a science-based game show? Stay tuned!

Yeah Bonnie! That's so cool! When will you be taping? We'll make a group effort of it, be in the audience and cheer loudly make signs and everything. Now where is my glitter gun??

That is so cool. I wish I got the Discovery Channel.
I would love to see you WOOTing on the game show!! :)
Very cool, Bonnie!!!
Wow. That's very cool. I would never want to be on a game show because I would throw up with all the lights and studio audience and such but it is still cool that somebody I know is going to be on one.
Just make sure you don't throw up.
By the way, is that going to be shown down here in the states or will it be a Canada only thing like your other TV show?
Oh Geri, I'm getting nervous now -- but the glittery t-shirts may distract me, in a good way!
Amy, you may be able to hear me if I actually win -- even all the way over where you are!
Thanks Maureen!
Now Mike, I've had professional "don't puke on TV" training. LOL. And sadly it looks like I'm on yet another show that won't air in America. I'll have to start up my own YouTube channel...
