CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Brian Heavey is from Middleborough, Massachusetts, and you made your television debut not today on our program, but on an infomercial?
Brian: That's right. This is old hat now, Alex. I had a starring role on an infomercial for Dollar Bill's Discount World, a discount retailer in New Hampshire.
Alex: Oh. All righty.
Alex: Lauren Owen is a director of analytics from Colorado. Now in football, we often see the opposing coach try to ice the placekicker just before he makes a kick. You did something similar to a basketball player who was about to shoot a free throw.
Lauren: Right. I was actually cheering for him, though. I'm a big Pistons fan; I grew up a Pistons fan. And I happened to be sitting in the second row, underneath the net, and Grant Hill, who I absolutely adored, was shooting a free throw. And the place got silent, 'cause it was home court, and I thought it was my opportunity, being the junior high girl that I was, to shout, "Grant Hill, will you marry me?"
[Laughter]
Lauren: I think he heard me, 'cause he smirked, and then he made his shot, so it was a win-win.
Alex: All right.
Alex: Lindsey Shultz is our champion, ladies and gentlemen. When she was 22, she did as so many young students do--they travel the world. And you visited what part of Eastern Europe?
Lindsey: Norway. Went across, down through the Baltic states, and all the way down to the Balkans. I went to Sarajevo. I went bungee-jumping in Mostar. I got to hang out on the beach in Dubrovnik. It was phenomenal.
Alex: What was the highlight of your trip?
Lindsey: You know, it's really amazing to go somewhere that history feels so fresh--that the bullets are still pockmarking buildings across that area. It's just amazing.
Alex: I was in Sarajevo around that same time. Yeah.
