A new television project on LNK, titled "Surprise Me!", is set to bring extraordinary dreams to life and help individuals confront their deepest fears. The show's hosts, Paulius Vaitiekลซnas, Donata Laisva, and Varkฤ— Labdarkฤ—, embark on personal missions in each episode to connect with guests, hear their stories, and find ways to fulfill their most important aspirations.

My mother is the kind of person who gives everything to everyone all the time and keeps nothing for herself.

โ€” RegvitaRegvita explains her motivation for wanting to surprise her mother.

These aspirations range from realizing long-held, unfulfilled dreams to receiving assistance for goals that individuals cannot achieve alone. The inaugural episode introduces viewers to Regvita and her mother, Alina. Regvita submitted the application for the show hoping to gift her mother something far more significant than a material item or a trip: the chance to overcome her lifelong fear of flying.

What if your mother doesn't agree? Will she tell me to get lost? Then we'll fly together.

โ€” Donata LaisvaThe show's host expresses concern about Alina's reaction to the surprise.

Alina has never flown in an airplane, a phobia that has necessitated long and arduous bus journeys, including a two-day trip to Greece. "My mother is the kind of person who gives everything to everyone all the time and keeps nothing for herself," Regvita explains, noting that her mother always prioritizes others. "It's time for someone to take care of her." Host Donata Laisva expressed concern, asking, "What if your mother doesn't agree? Will she tell me to get lost? Then we'll fly together." Alina, upon hearing about the surprise, openly admitted her fear: "This is something terrifying for me. Heights. What if we fall?"

This is something terrifying for me. Heights. What if we fall?

โ€” AlinaAlina expresses her deep-seated fear of flying.

Even as they drove to the airfield, Alina joked about facing "eight minutes of fear," though she tried to conceal her intense anxiety. The question remains whether Alina will summon the courage for her first flight. "Surprise Me!" premieres this Monday evening at 9 p.m. on LNK, with the underlying message that every dream is worth hearing.
