Our Twitter Challenge to The Ellen Show

I saw Ellen Degeneres on The Jay Leno Show a few weeks ago and she announced that she just joined Twitter. She indicated she would like to get one million followers and so I came up with the crazy idea of challenging her. The Be Bonita Show and the Ellen Show in a Twitter Challenge. We came up with a song called "The Twitter Challenge" song and the lyrics go like this (To the tune of Low):

We are the BeBonita Show, we're on Twitter
You're the Ellen Show, your on Twitter
You want a million to follow you
Well we want a million to follow us too.

My sister Bonita and I decided to sing the challenge in the bathroom. Currently Ellen is doing a series called the "Bathroom Concert Series", therefore, we thought it would be fitting to sing in the bathtub. At the end of the video we announced that if we won, we get to be on The Ellen Show and if she won, she gets to be on the Be Bonita Show.

Do we have a shot in winning this challenge? Probably not. As of the date of this blog, we have 1265 followers and Ellen has 337,000 followers. It seems she gets 1000 new followers for every 10 we get. Can you imagine Ellen on The Be Bonita Show. That would be incredible. She probably hasn't even seen our video and doesn't even know about our challenge to her. She must get thousands of videos and letters each day.

If anything, we had fun doing the video and we are still very committed in continuing until she notices. We just did another one which was filmed at Mastery Martial Arts in Rhode Island. One of the instructors, Mr Michael performed awesome flips. Since Ellen has made some new Twitter words we came up with a few of our own. A flip is called a twip and challenge is twallenge. The name of the latest video is called, "Our Twipping Twedio Twallenge". We had a great time creating these films which can be viewed on our YouTube Channel.

Please follow us at Twitter: www.twitter.com/thebebonitashow. We love to tweet. Both Bonita and I post our comments and we also have our own twitter account. If anything, we have gained some great connections and are grateful for all the great quotes, information, and meeting and getting to know our followers. In turn, we hope that we will add some benefits to you. We thank you for your support.
