CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: David Schuman is from New York. He's a world traveler. In a few months, I'm going to be visiting Australia, and I have a choice, while I'm there, of visiting, uh, a rainforest or the Great Barrier Reef. You snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef. Why should I go there?
David: Yeah, the Great Barrier Reef was phenomenal. I just finished my semester abroad there in the spring, and... th--I went out there, and the boat ride was one of the most miserable things--
Alex: Oh.
David: --I've ever been on. I could not stop throwing up, the entire time, but it was okay, because everyone else on the boat was, too. But... And then on--but once I got there, it was phenomenal. The colors--you can't really describe it. You can't really capture it in pictures, either.
Alex: Okay.
Alex: Sophie Hill, Navy analyst from Coronado, California. That's the headquarters of the Navy SEALs, right?
Sophie: It is. I work for the Navy SEALs, doing capability development, and when they take me out into the field, I can't tell if they actually want my opinion on things, or they just want to see me in body armor and high heels.
Alex: Yeah, well, you're always surrounded by guys who are very muscular and in shape, right?
Sophie: I am.
Alex: How does it feel to be in front of somebody like me now?
Sophie: No difference whatsoever, sir.
Alex: Oh, well, uh--
Sophie: Looking good.
Alex: Miss Diplomacy. All right.
Alex: Erin Zwiener is our champion. She is a conservationist who is trying to wind up growing or producing all of her own food. How's that going?
Erin!: It's going all right. I, uh, got a goat, couple months ago, and I've been learning how to milk a goat, and, uh, I would recommend, if you ever decide to go that way, get one that already knows how to be milked. It's less painful.
JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE

(David: What is estate tax?)
...
(Alex: Less than a minute to go now, David.)
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
IT'S ALL GREEK LETTERS TO ME $800: This Greek letter seen here sure marks the spot
