Ellen Degeneres just kicked off Emirates #BigTakeoff campaign in a very big way...
The American comedian and talk show host had two lucky audience members compete for a chance to win a 7-day trip to Dubai and Cape Town, South Africa compliments of Emirates.
With the objective of getting their respective planes across the board before the other, the women were asked simple questions, which they could answer if they grabbed the tequila bottle in the center of the table before the other.
Before starting the game, DeGeneres didn't hide the fact that she's a big fan of Emirates.
"I did, I flew Emirates to Dubai and to Cape Town and it was the most amazing experience. It's a great airline. You're going to absolutely love it," she said before starting the competition.
DeGeneres made headlines throughout the UAE last year when she visited Dubai with her actress wife Portia de Rossi . However, the local media seemed to be confused about the status of their relationship at the time, referring to de Rossi as Degeneres' "friend."
Even though there ended up being just one winner of the game...
The excitement was definitely not over...
The winning contestant had the chance to help the ENTIRE audience win a prize too, ranging from a $100 gif card to round trip tickets to Dubai for each person in the audience. Everyone was on the edge of their seats.
Of course, it wasn't as simple as her choosing the prize to give everyone...
The red circles were shuffled and mixed up. How could the winning contestant ever manage to guess the one that held the coveted roundtrip tickets? The entire audience held their breath. Would she choose wisely?
