I Play Cash Cab

There aren't too many reality television shows that I like (although I'm starting to like more and more now-a-days (not the raunchy ones, but ones like Ace of Cakes and Pawn Stars). One show that I do like on The Discovery Channel is called Cash Cab.

Basically, people in New York City get into what they think is a normal taxi cab. They tell the driver, who is Ben Bailey, their destination. Then lights flash (and usually the passengers get confused or surprised) and they're told that they're on a television game show where they can earn money while they ride in the cab. The contestants answer questions the entire way. If they answer them right, they get money. If they answer three different questions wrong before they make their destination, they get kicked out wherever they are.

So I decided to try to play along with the contestants (I had to type really fast since they questions were presented quickly). Below is my real-time watching/playing the game:

3. "What 1995 film featured the adventures of a talking pig on a ___ farm?" - Babe (lucky guess)
4. Also known as the maid of Core Leon what warrior... shit this is definitely going too fast to type. (also I'm sure I spelled that name wrong)

Okay new episode, I'm gonna try again.

Two older women get in the cab and freak out because of the lights (oh God they're opera singers...STOP SINGING).

Do people ever say no they don't want to play this game? I mean it's a free ride/partial ride either way.

Featuring the Jets and the Sharks what musical features star crossed lovers - West Side Story

In the Gregorian Calendar, how often does a leap year occur - I have no idea...4? oh apparently we use that calendar. Trick question.

Once home of the Rams, what is the largest city that does not have a team in the NFL? - oh God no idea (I would've guessed wrong)

In grammar, present, past and future are all forms of what - tense

With no army, what egotourist economy is known as the Switzerland of Western America - whaaaaat? (second strike) (I would've called a friend or my dad on this one)

What kind of violent wind storm has a water spout when it hits land? - tsunami? (tornado was the answer)

I would've been kicked out with 21 blocks to go.

This goes to show you that I would definitely not earn money in the Cash Cab if I were alone. Chances are much higher when 2 or more people get into the Cash Cab. I definitely have a few friends in mind who I would bring with me or telephone if I were in the Cash Cab.
