Well, I can’t believe exactly two years after I taped my episode, I’m at an airport waiting to fly on the trip I won.
(Normally, it would’ve been one year. But… you know. Pandemic.)
Anyway, I recently re-watched the episode. And you know what? It kinda held up way better than I thought.
At the time of the original airing, I was so embarrassed, I wanted to crawl into a hole. I was just really super wildly embarrassed. And I was a little bit catastrophizing.
But looking back on it now? Still not the best day. Some of my little fake laughing when I’m trying to play the game, but trying to also play nice is a little cringey and annoying still. But at the time, it just felt like such an overwhelming failure and embarrassment, that seeing it as just a little cringey feels like a win to me.
I’ll take it! And I CAN’T WAIT to tell you all about Barbados, as I’m positive Alex and I are already having the best time as you’re reading this!
