The Ellen DeGeneres Show reached out to Mehra after she tweeted about helping an elderly couple get groceries at the start of the pandemic, and her experience went viral. Celebrities, including DeGeneres, retweeted Mehra’s tweet. Because of pandemic-induced uncertainty, Mehra didn’t go on DeGeneres’s talk show, but she was instead recommended for the game show.
“I actually grew up watching game shows,” Mehra told
Runner’s World. “Game Show Network was on all the time at my house. I don’t want to call this a bucket list iteme because I didn’t know it was on my bucket list. When would I get a chance to meet Ellen, compete on a gameshow, and get into my pro athlete mindset in musical chairs again?”

On March 11, just a couple of days before everything would change, Rebecca Mehra was walking into the Safeway on Century Drive in Bend when she heard voices call out to her.
They came from an elderly couple, too afraid to enter the store due to the coronavirus. The couple asked Mehra if she could buy their groceries.
âPeople were scared,â recalled Mehra, a 26-year-old Bend resident. âNo one knew what this virus was, how deadly it was, how it affected folks. We knew it affected elderly people a whole lot more. During that moment, I knew I had to help these people.â
