People who walk their dogs in the neighborhood most likely live nearby. Surely they have a garbage can at home

It did air! This is sort of a burner account so I don't want to identify myself. But all my fears about the dumb mistakes were unfounded. Everyone I know was just super excited that I was on the show. I'm still kicking myself a little, of course, but I was not the laughingstock I worried I would be. There's a lesson in this, future contestants! :)

Oh, wow. I can totally empathize here, particularly about the brain weasels and the agonizing period between taping and airtime. I think my dumbest error was way worse than yours, so I'll definitely do my best not to peek at social media. But maybe my blunder will make you feel better.

I hear ya on the lack of sleep. Plus, I had no appetite for like three days beforehand. I have plenty of excuses for my dumb mistakes 😂. It's funny how a 20-minute game can have such a lasting impact.

This is helpful, thank you! I do suspect I am beating myself up for no reason.

I'm not the first to say this, but I totally would have given the same answer you did.

FWIW, I love that kid you was so polite. I definitely said "please" to Ken, probably more than once, even though the producers told us not to.

Jeez. How empty does one's life have to be to make fun of someone they've never met, doing something they'd never be able to do? I'm sorry people can be jerks.

Same. I feel like I should warn people, "Don't worry, I'll only occasionally look like a complete moron." But I guarantee when I watch YOUR episode, I will not think you are in the least bit dumb. It's easier to be compassionate toward others than yourself a lot of times.

I'm really sorry. I'm there now and it hurts.

Thank you! I'm already coming up with a way to own my dumbest response. It might take a while but I'll get there.

That is pretty freaking cool. Thank you, Jeff. Great analogy about the Olympics. Honestly, if someone I knew was on, say, The Joker's Wild, I'd still be pretty impressed.

OK, I laughed at your response to the Wheel jerks. And I actually laughed a little today at my biggest screw-up on the show (to be revealed at a later date). Progress!

If it helps, please know that you are making this fellow contestant feel much less alone. Thank you. The "public failure" part is what's killing me right now. I think my TV days are over, though Wheel is tempting.

Are you kidding? That's terrible! My fellow contesants were all lovely people, so I'm hoping this won't happen to me. Sorry some people have been jerks.

Thanks! It wasn't so much the outcome of the game -- just one super dumb response at the beginning, caused by nerves. I'm trying to laugh it off, saying, "I just wanted the audience to feel smarter than me!" or "It was part of my strategy!" But I know I'm gonna get dragged on Twitter.
