The video of Tanyetta on the Ellen Show!!

video

Here's the video clip of my 15 seconds of fame on the Ellen Show!  I won a trip for four to Hawaii.  7 days, 6 nights at the Embassy Suites!  WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!

Question:  What does freak of nature mean?  
She called me a freak of nature.  What does that mean?

My sister and I watched it earlier. You were so funny! And that shot of the first try was brilliant! We also laughed so hard when the thing broke through the board.

Girl!!!! I was cracking up!!!! You got that joint in ONE shot! LOL I was WEAK. AS. HELL. with laughter, and the entire crew was crackin up, too! She called you a freak of nature, because you got up there and put that doggone coconut through that prop like it wasn't NOTHING and they had folks do it all day and missed every time!

I found your blog through Celia's and this is the first time I have visited. What a great day to arrive in Tanyetta land. I grew up in Hawaii and I am so jealous of your trip I can barely stand it! Coming from Ellen I'd have to say 'freak of nature' is absolutely a compliment. You rock!

Greg said...

Tanyetta, you are f'n crazy! And by the way, Sheena and I will be waiting for you to come swing by Illinois to take us with you to Hawaii, ok? :-D

Atasha said...

Girl look at the time and you have me laughing so loud in this house! I am so excited for you. i can't believe you got that on the first try. That was hard! Take lots of photos so that I can pretend that I was in Hawaii too!

I would have been spinning on the floor with joy!

Atasha said...

AND...by the way, she meant "freak of nature" in a good way since no body could get it during rehearsal and here you are getting it on one try.
In other words, YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!

pixie4bears said...

Oh my..thank you so much for making me laugh today. Your dancing was soooo funny!!! Congrats on getting it the first try!! WOOT WOOT

guspiv said...

guspiv said...

Ok wait I couldnt watch the video at first I just watched it and GIRL you've got me CRYING! YOu are too funny! I dont think Ellen is going to forget you! I wish I would have read over the weekend and known you were going to be on the show!

Elizabeth said...

OMG!!! I can't believe you made it on the first toss like that! I was just DYING when you were doing your Happy Dance on the stage. You are ADORABLE! Congratulations on the trip, too, how awesome is that, and you got to hug Ellen! You ROCK!

P.S. Can you come to BlogHer in San Francisco so I can hug you in person? I need a roommate :)

YouToldHarpoTaBeatMe said...

Girl you had me DYIN'! No you didn't have the crew on the floor!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Tina Silva said...

That was really hilarious. Great job and have fun on the trip!! The freak of nature part is that she probably just meant how crazy you are that you got it on the first try which is really amazing!! Definitely not a bad thing in this scenario. Congrats again!!

Sheliza said...

You were so funny and all my friends and family loved watching you. Being a freak of nature is not a bad thing. You just were able to do what average people can't do! You got mad skillz with a coconut!!!

Midori said...

Will have to watch this when I get home. Just sent you an e-mail btw as you don't seem to have received my other one. Check your spam box if you didn't get it. I am SOOO jealous that you got to meet Will Smith and that you won the holiday. For some reason I had it in my head that you went on Oprah so I apologise for confusing you in my e-mail! ;-)

katie said...

it means you're somebody that would be awesome to hang out with ;)

Ms. Behaving said...

Means she wasn't expecting YOU or anyone else for that matter to make that shot [LOL]

Glad you did tho'...congrats on the win!!!

Mechelle said...

I found your blog through the Non-Superwoman Chronicles and I must admit, I am a lurker. I have been enjoying your site for some time now and almost feel like I know you. I have never commented but I had to this time. That is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. CONGRATULATIONS!! Enjoy your trip.

BK said...

CONGRATS on winning that trip.. I'm sure you and the fam will LOVE IT.. I saw it and laughed.. said I know someone with that name but that is NOT her.. LOL

Girl did you grab the coconut fast enough?? LOL and aim.. lemme find out we need to recruit you for the major leagues.. girl you got an aim on you!

Leah said...

OH MY GOODNESS! You are hilarious. That was the funniest. I wish I would have seen that show.

A trip to Hawaii and you touched Will Smith too? I'm sooo jealous!

Have a great time! You have such a sweet family. You guys deserve it.

Jenn said...

Soooo excited for you!

Sheena said...

You had the crew ROFL'n! Looks like you had the holy ghost, lol!!!!

I couldn't watch you yesterday, I sat there looking on tvguide.com and there was NO listing for Ellen on there but it came on at 3pm in Chicago so my mother watched you and said "she was justa grabbin at that coconut and dancing her butt off", lol.

You should have blurted Tanyetta.Com on stage!

I can't believe you made it, that was a LONG distance and that hole was just big enough for the coconut to fit!

Midori said...

OMG! I finally got to watch it! THAT is hilarious and you totally rock! You also come across in person exactly how I thought you would!!! I am SO impressed with your throwing aim!

Denae (a.k.a. D-dawg) said...

TJ said...

Congrats on the win.

Leigh said...

I'm cracking up! LOL! That lady couldn't grab that coconut quick enough. ha, ha. You were good.

I think freak of nature just means something that doesn't normally happen. The through that thing right on the first try.

Tania A said...

Girl you are a "freak" of nature becuz no one else was able to do that. She was totally impressed by it and I think you looked like you where having a blast.

Good For YOU!!!

Tania said...

Why must I hate you so? haha, can I go on your trip?

dc_speaks said...

wow. congrats to you!!

Gina said...

If being a "freak of nature" gets you a free trip to Hawaii, then it's what I want to be, too! Congratulations! (and thanks for stopping by)

Melonie said...

Go girl!! Enjoy that trip because your aim was on point! I will be sure to duck if I see you with a coconut! LOVED the dance, lol.

Shai said...

Leigh said...

OMG I stumbled upon this post and I am SO glad I did! I was grinnin' like a fool for you lol

I bet they spent soooo much time on that contest, and thought it would last the whole show and into the next one. Guess again! I couldn't believe her producer rollin' around on the floor like that lol

Good for you Mama, enjoy your trip!
