Ready to take the Morning Express Challenge?

Posted: 10:54 AM ET

Do you watch “Morning Express” every day? Well now’s your chance to get in on the action. Join us each Tuesday and Thursday from 8-10 a. E.T. for the “Morning Express Challenge.”

ALT TEXT

Kate and Robin go head to head in the Morning Express Challenge.

It’s an online game that quizzes you on topics covered on the day’s show – as the show is happening! You can make real-time predictions about what will happen next in the news, and chat with one another as the show is taking place too.

At the end of each game, the player with the most points will be pronounced the winner, and believe me, competition is stiff!

If you win, we’ll announce your name on air and send you a prize - a coveted Morning Express bathrobe! As well, each week will draw a name from a list of everyone who has competed and offer that person their choice of two Morning Express t-shirts. Everyone has a chance to win; beautiful, right?

The game is really fun, and it starts on Tuesday, October 7. Can’t wait to get started? Go to CNN.com/Robin to sign up.

scriptaculous widgets! [vide hives hosted source files]

IF I am able to win a prize THEN
  woo-hoo!
ELSE
  Pout, Pout

I've watched Robin almost everyday (from 5:55am-10am) for 1.75 years.
I remember when she said "tobaco bell" instead of Taco Bell.
indelible, precious, enchanting Seraphim.

[negate OCD and delusions: I am working on a music cd, a new operating system and a research assistant/search engine while I watch the show. so child ids aside, I like her spirit nothing more, nothing less. Just thought I would clarify this info.]

I can't wait to play!

to all opponents: I play dirty! [smile; just joking, unless we play hockey]

Until tomorrow,

I'll cross my fingers I don't have computer problems tomorrow. :)

I know I'm not elgible for prizes [Canada] but it should be great nonetheless. Chatting with other viewers will be fun.

Robin! I love the show! Me and my hubby watch ya every morning we have access to a tv. We love how happy and bubbly you are! Keep up the good work! I also had fun playing that game this morning.

johnr   October 7th, 2008 10:22 am ET

I thought the game was a fun, new way to bring the news to the general public. I watch every morning and thought it would be easy, I was wrong. I will try again and again and next time pay more attention. Thank you for making the news fun, these days we could use something like this game to bring a more lighthearted feel to the news.

Are these guys kidding? The Brits are trying to lay blame that the US didn't act fast enough? Where were they? Where was Japan? Where was China, Russia etc, etc,... Here's how it goes, they sat back wanting to see the US market tank so pompus to think it wouldn't affect them & then when it did, AS USUAL, "...Oh it's the Us's fault"

Now WE ALL SEE!

Anthony R.   October 8th, 2008 6:36 am ET

Out here in California, I probably should've been asleep when the game started out here at 5AM, but after trying it out for a few minutes, I was hooked and I eventually hit the sack at 6! Luckily, I work evening shifts... except for Thursday, so I won't be able to play until next Tuesday. But it's fun, even though I'm too busy multitasking (chatting, watching Robin, and answering questions) to stay in the leaderboard for very long.

I love the way you want your viewers to interact with the show, Robin, and this game is a winner!

Jan W.   October 8th, 2008 8:32 am ET

We are very curious as to how all the text message polls on both the V.P. debate and now the Pres. debate showed Palin & McCain at 88% and Obama & Biden at 12%., yet according to "Media" Obama & Biden are ahead in the polls.

Can you help explain this????????????????

Just wanted to say that Robin Meade is the hottest anchor on tv news. Have a nice day

Mrs. Texas Teacher   October 9th, 2008 9:17 am ET

I really enjoy Robin's show. I wish I could watch everyday, but the only time I get to watch is when we are dealing with a hurricane with mandatory evacuation! I'm a teacher. Today we have Fall Holiday! A very nice little break. Another opportunity to watch your show!

The whole hurricane business was stressful, and now we have to listen to McBush and company sling mud and lie instead of talk about the issues.

And finally, sadly, we have to worry ourselves sick over Wall Street! While they worry in a nice comfortable spa! Will someone bail me out, if my mortage fails? Dog Gone It, will they even think about a sending me to a spa? In a two words, HELL NO!

Keep up the good work, Robin! :)

I can't change anything, I'm hanging on by a thread now. There are people out here on the edge. Between life and death. I live on $740.00 a month. My husband died last year, and between our 2 disabilities checks last year we could just make it, we lived on around $1,600 a month. I just bought groceries for the first time in a year. And poor Mrs. Lehmann had to sell her 20 million dollar painting collection! My 6 disabled girlfriends and I are just sick over this. NOT! Someone should elect the shouting guy for Pres. My one friend is $16.14 over the limit and is losing her drug care plan, she will probably not be here much longer because of this. My friends and I take care of each other as best as we can. And if we did didn't cut-up sometimes all we would do was cry. This administration and the stupid way it has been run. Our (MY) country is KILLING US. Our goverment took 10 days to get to Americans after Katrina, it only took them 5 days to get to Pakistan after their earth quake! My youngest child left college for 2 yrs. and joined Americore to cleaned-up after Katrina. My oldest daughter's son is autistic. WHERES OUR SHARE OF THE 700B? Everyone I know has worked hard their whole lives, and did NOT choose to become disabled. Thanks Mr. Pres. for the $300.00, I got to put gas in my car and keep my landline phone. And the illegal Mexicans that live in my building all have brand new cars. I'm driving a 1994 Mini-van that is falling apart. Because my mechanic died (my husband). My friends and I car-pool and share food. Thanks Goverment for taking care of everyone the rich and illegals before you took care of HARD WORKING AMERICANS! You all make me sick. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO HAS SCREW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE LOCKED -UP, LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY, AND YOUR HOUSES AND CARS. AND IT SHOULD BE DONATED TO EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN THAT NEEDS IT!

I'm 54, last year I lost my job after 29 years when then closed the plant. I had a 401k I had been putting money in for several years.
In 2 days it lost $10,000, so I got looking around, and found an IRA that will go by stocks high or lows, or I'm guaranteed 5% per year.
So now as of today my stocks have lost over $80,000, I’m not losing money because I have the guaranteed 5% pre year.
It has given me peace of mind that I have the guaranteed 5% pre year.

People have learned to live on there credit cards; the only one that wins is the credit card companies. Way do you think they send pre-approved credit card offers to you so you will charge more and more?

If everyone would take 25% their income and up it in savings that has a guaranteed interest just think of the debt of the world would have.
When you go to buy something pay cash, if you cannot pay cash, you need to stop and think do I really need this.

The government needs to stop sending money overseas and take care of the people here when we have senior’s citizens and disabled people at home having to choose between food, medicine, heat, water, or electric.

Mickey Perkins   October 14th, 2008 7:45 am ET

Yes Robin Meade is beautiful! I think why most of us watch though is because she is so upbeat happy and helps pull us out of the emotional dump we sometimes get in during these tough times, financially and politically. The persons having trouble with disabilities I feel so badly for you, knowing that the intention of your SSI is to relieve your suffering. I have no solution but pray the networking helps some of you.

Eddie   October 14th, 2008 8:54 am ET

Correction... I'm still asleep... LOL

Where did Robin get the giant guitar pick around her neck…? LOL

Eddie   October 14th, 2008 9:07 am ET

Robin could do the new with a monkey on her head and she would still be beautiful...
