PASSWORD
Hola Everybody!
After three months of living in Spain the Spanish TV networks finally realized I was here and asked me to be on one of their TV shows. Actually out of the blue our language teacher announced that, if we wanted to, our class could be on a game show called PASSWORD.
The game show is played as follows:
There are two celebrities. Each celebrity is paired with a student from one of the schools around Madrid. The celebrity says a clue and the student guesses what the verb/noun/adjective is that the celebrity is reading off of a TV screen; if the student guesses what is on the screen then a new word appears on the screen, the student who guesses the most number of words can win up to 25,000 Euros for their school. There are three clues per word and 30 seconds per round.
There are more rules and different rounds with some slight twists but that is basically how the game is played. Our class got 2nd place because the celebrity couldn't guess a word which was, in my and the the rest of the students opinions, pretty easy. We did end up winning 2,500 Euros, but the 25,000 would have been nice :)
We arrived at the studio at ~7:50 PM and had to wait in a small trailer with 30 students until 10:30 PM. The game show was interesting, but the celebrities seemed so fake (I did get a Santa hat that says PASSWORD). The celebrities were a comedian from a TV program called Siete Vidas (Seven Lives) who was pretty funny as well as a TV anchorman. I think the host of the show is also an anchorwoman. Our teacher told us we'd get home around 10:00 PM but when we got to the studio we found out we'd probably get home after midnight. Oh well, I skipped the first two classes the next morning so that was ok.
