Pyramid spoilers and sappy post ahead!!! If you’d told me 2 years ago that I would be on a game show, I would’ve said you had the wrong Molly. This is something I NEVER in a million years thought I would/could do. I applied at
@melrubin2 ’s encouragement, and the farther I got in the casting process, the more clear it became that maybe I was actually kind of *good* at the game and maybe I actually *could* do this. BUT! I wasn’t good at it naturally. I worked my butt off and practiced in every bit of spare time I had. I learned the rules, I drilled them to no end, and I found so much joy in doing so. Unhinged of me to get so emotional over a game, I know, but studying for/competing on
#100KPyramid showed me that I can do anything I set my mind to. If you’re watching and thinking “I could never do that,” seriously, think again. I said the same thing at first, and now I’ll never say it again. Pyramid made me believe in myself. It also proved to me that there are so many people in my life who support me and love me and believe in me. A special shout out to Mel—if it weren’t for her, I absolutely would never have applied, but I also would never have made it all the way to Hollywood. She practiced with me every single night, for as long as I wanted, until our voices were sore. She got as much joy in seeing me succeed as I got in succeeding, and for that I am forever grateful and so in love with her. And to my mom and every other friend who let me list things to them over the phone at random hours of the day, thank you. Sure, Billie Jean King and badly thrown bowling balls will haunt me for the rest of my life, but the real pyramid was the friends we made along the way.
