The Top 5 Game Shows You Should Watch When There's Nothing Else On TV

This summer I am living in a camper, and like most campers there is no WiFi. However, I do have a nice small TV, where I get three channels. But that's okay because I get to watch the best shows of all: game shows. They are the most underrated shows of this generation. So, I have taken it upon myself to rate the five game shows that are continually on repeat in my camper.


1. Jeopardy

Jeopardy is pretty famous. It has been around for awhile. Teachers use this as a base to make educational games, for example, reviewing for tests. So, whenever I watch this show, it takes me back to middle school and high school.

Rating: 2.5/10


2. 500 Questions

This is a new one, or at least new to me. I am still not sure how this one works. From what I can tell, geniuses have five seconds to answer a question from a category of their choice. And that continues, but there is also another contestant onstage that can answer the wrong questions. Then there is a battle in each category where the participants go against each other listing answers to a question. It's confusing, and I don't think it'll last, but when watching the show with friends it is entertaining.

Rating: 8/10


3. Wheel of Fortune

The classic game show. The best of them all. The one that reminds you of your grandma because she used to make you watch it with her as a kid. It's a good mindless show to watch in the background, but easy enough to get really into it.

Rating: 8/10


4. Family Feud

The funniest of all the game shows. Steve Harvey, despite what people say, is hilarious. It's the most candid of all the game shows. I could watch the families on here for hours. Everyone is always just goofing off and having a grand ole time. The show will have you laughing for hours. The questions are unpredictable, and the best part is you can answer them in your head and see how well you would actually do on Family Feud.

Survey says:

Rating: 10/10


5. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

I got weirdly jealous that Chris Harrison is the new host of this show. I felt like I was cheating on the Bachelor. I decided I couldn't keep watching it once he used the word dramatic. Chris, stick to what you know, helping people fall in love. I also felt as though the questions were easy and that a middle schooler could answer them with the process of elimination. There was always one option that was way out there, so you knew it had to be wrong.

Rating: 5/10


All in all, game shows are where it is at, and if you don't watch them, you definitely should start. And you should probably watch Family Feud all the time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
