Heartbroken... No Deal!

There's this show, "Deal or No Deal". What does it consist of? There are 26 cases, out of which the contestant has to pick one. Each suitcase contains a sum between 1 cent and $1.000.000. Then the contestant starts opening the remaining suitcases, and, after a certain number, he gets an offer from the banker, who calculates the odds of them getting a bigger or lower sum of money. It's a stupid, easy game from where you cannot leave with less than $100.000 unless you're extremely greedy or were born while Mr. Luck was away on vacation.
And... there's me. I've always wanted to take part in different game shows; that's one of my issues and I accept it :P. "Robingo" was on... I was there. Didn't make it because of my slow reflexes; I only managed to get 3 of the answers, because I was sloooooow, so I didn't make it past the selection (and I knew my stuff back then). I cried for days :). Then "Wheel of Fortune" came to Romania. I wasn't 18 yet, so I anxiously waited to reach that age... so the show could be stopped. Then I applied for "Perechea potrivita". Amazingly enough, I was called on the show; I got what I went for, and that was a trip to Budapest. Got to the States... they have "Jeopardy!", they have "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"... me, pick me, pick me! But various, "insignificant" legal issues wouldn't have allowed me to participate. I would've gone to the Millionaire, anyway, and would've sent my husband to Jeopardy!, I don't know enough to be on that show. Anyway... we got to Canada. No games, no shows, nada de nada. And then they tell me "Deal or No Deal" is coming. Made up my mind in a second. As soon as I get back from Romania, I'm there! Oh, not so fast! They only have 5 special shows and the selection took place in November. I could've goooone! You don't need anything for that show, except for some common sense and a few interesting life stories. Easy enough... but no! It wasn't meant to be! Those jerks :P!
