The TV Contest Where I am most Likely to Win

I asked my partner if he thought the pair of us win in Survivor. He said no. I asked about The Amazing Race. He said no. I am slow, clumsy, and I can't catch a ball to save my life, that's why.
I kept asking him about reality shows or TV contests where I would most probably win. Nothing physical. Nothing that requires running, riding, balancing, or climbing. Nothing that requires finding things, socializing, or losing weight. Finally we decided on One Million Dollar Chance of a Lifetime or Wheel of Fortune. I have on my belt years of playing scrabble, boggle, anagrams and all sorts of word and vocabulary games. In my phone I only enjoy TextTwist. Maybe I don't stand a chance in Survivor, but I can see letters and turn them into words and sentences with relative ease.
What TV contest would you most likely do well in?

It's funny how our partners are blunt! hehehe.. I, like you, have asked my partner several times if we could join those shows. I wondered if we'd do well in The Amazing Race (travelling around the world!). He's always say that we'd not finish anything because we were both physically unprepared - most especially him. Then of course, comes the face that I don't know how to drive and don't really know how to swim very well, easily gets dizzy and would probably just end up sleeping the whole time because I'd be too tired! hahahaha.. and he knows how much I love sleep!
Come to think of it, there's a lot of games there that I couldn't win. In the same way, like you, I am great with boardgames and word games and I always have good score and may even emerge as a top of the bunch with those, however, I guess there are a lot of us and I don't think it takes just wits to go through that, there's the usual stage fright and nervousness for first timers. Not to mention that you'd be in national television, so whatever 'mistake' you'd make not on purpose, would be played to you over and over again for several months and would be posted in youtube! hahahahhaa..
Therefore, I think I'd just leave that to fantasy and start by being productive in my own way. But should there come a time when the chance is given to me, then why not?! hehehe..
Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I haven't considered the stage fright and nervousness. Would I be able to think as clearly as I would on national TV? Probably not. But still, joining a TV game show is one of the things I'd like to do at least once in my life. I have that List of Things to Do in my life, all of them achievable but some can be quite challenging, like the game show thing.
I really like The Amazing Race but I would be a burden to my partner---can't drive, can't swim, can't run fast, has a very poor sense of direction. There's an old game I like called The Crystal Maze which is good because each competing team is composed of 5 people and the challenges are categorized into four: physical, mental, skill, and mystery. People take the challenges according to their individual strengths. I always enjoyed the mental and mystery challenges even then.
