CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Guy Wilson is a football coach and a tutor, and there's an interesting story that has to do with your wedding, and I'd like you to tell the folks about the ring bearer and what the circumstances were.
Guy: Well, we had Jack, that had been the football team ball boy for years, bring the wedding rings in on the football laced in with the threads.
Alex: Laced in with the threads?
Guy: With the threads of the football.
Alex: Both rings?
Guy: Yeah.
Alex: Okay, that's just great.
Alex: Heather Powell is from Pennsylvania, and you have something in common with my son, Matthew. He is now 23 and would enjoy going to the Coachella music festival. Now, you went to the Coachella festival this past year?
Heather: I did for the first time.
Alex: For the first time.
Heather: At age 43.
Alex: So, you're there surrounded by teens and people in their early 20s. What was the experience like?
Heather: You know what? It was wonderful. I have a friend, who actually is here with me today, who has been going for several years and had been trying to convince me to go, and last year, the lineup just looked great. It was great going with a veteran because she knew all the tricks, and we had an amazing time. It was wonderful.
Alex: Good for you. All right.
Alex: Now we come to our champion, Sarah Fremgen, who is a microbiologist, which means you're working on what at the moment?
Sarah: Specifically, I'm working on Lyme disease at the moment. So, looking at what genes make it make us sick.
Alex: All right. Well, let's find something that can deal with that problem.
Sarah: Yes.
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
MICHIGAN ODDS & ENDS $200: Appropriately, this type of public building in Grand Rapids is named after astronaut Roger B. Chaffee
(Heather: What is, um...oh, gosh.)
(Alex: Oh, gosh, indeed.)
(Heather: Sorry.)
(Guy: What is an airport?)
MICHIGAN ODDS & ENDS $800: Fair Lane is the name of Henry Ford's mansion in this city next to Detroit
I'M A CHANGED MAN! $1000: This Kafka guy awakes to find he has an armor-plated back, a domelike brown belly & numerous legs
(Alex: [*] awoke.)
