Luck Squared

My favorite thing about watching any kind of competition, whether it's a sporting event, an old-school game show like Jeopardy!, or a reality series like Top Chef, is having someone for whom to root. I love rooting. I love living and dying with a contestant (or team, as the case may be), and, while rooting against someone can be fun, rooting for someone is even better.

(See: The Amazing Race 7, during which hatin' Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly was fun, but rooting for Uchenna & Joyce was bliss!)

Basically, I love the opportunity to be happy for someone.

So, all that said, I am madly in love with this clip (via Chris) from The Price Is Right, where the awesome luck just keeps on rolling a contestant's way. No transcript, but the only information you might not be able to glean from watching if you can't hear the video is that it was also the contestant's 19th birthday.



Happy Birthday! The IRS is on the phone...
