Chapter 325 The Ellen Show Final (1/2)

The whole 'speed-dating' thing was just a game, so Kyle wasn't really that appalled by it. Ellen was known for doing pranks and setting up games to fluster her guests, so Kyle played along.

Well, he still had to drag Keanu in as well, right? After all, he betrayed him first!

”Okay, there's going to be a twist to this speed dating,” Ellen declared.

”What? No! Really?!” Kyle said in an exaggerated tone, his face full of disbelief as he put a hand on his chest.

Ellen gave him an equally surprised look, saying, ”I know, right? Totally shocking!”

She then gave a silly smile while looking left and right, laughing a bit and then continued, ”You know the game, 'Know or Go?'”

”No?” Kyle replied, but said it in such a way as if he was saying yes.

”So you do know?” Ellen asked.

”No,” Kyle said with a smirk.

”So are you saying no, or know?” Ellen asked then flung her cue cards in the air, ”You know what? He can go forever with that, can't he?”

The audience laughed.

”Anyway, for those who are not familiar with this game, it's simple. We have this high podium with a trapdoor. I will ask three questions each about the girls in the speed date and if you get it wrong, I press a button to open the trap door and you'll fall down,” Ellen said.

”That's all?” Kyle asked.

”Well, for you, it'll be a bit different,” Ellen said with a mischievous smile.

She pointed to one part of the stage, where there were two huge curtains around something. Kyle assumed it was the high podium. One curtain fell, and it was as he suspected.

”That is Keanu's podium,” Ellen said, then the other curtain fell, ”While that one is yours.”

”ELLEN!” Kyle said, jumping up, ”That's not fair!!”

Ellen blinked innocently at him, then said very seriously, ”But Keanu is a veteran actor. You don't expect me to dunk him now, do you?”

Yes, ladies and gentlemen.

Kyle's podium had been modified into a dunking booth. While Keanu's podium's lower half was covered, it was not so for Kyle's. One could see that there was a pool of water right underneath the trapdoor of the podium.

Kyle sighed and shook his head, then looked at Ellen and said, ”You're really hazing the newbie here, aren't you?”

She just looked at him with an innocent smile on her face.

✿ Speed Dating ✿

There were ten girls in all for each of them, and they had one minute to ask questions and get to know each other. They weren't allowed to jot down the answers but there were stage crew members doing so behind Kyle and Keanu.

Kyle took the game seriously.

He had a photographic memory, not eidetic memory. Although both terms were often used interchangeably, there were slight (but extremely important) distinctions. Both did deal with being able to visualise what they had seen like an almost faithful mental image snapshot or photograph.
