CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Angie Rasmussen is from Seattle, Washington. Hardcore Seattle Seahawks fan.
Angie: That's right, Alex. I've been a 12 since before I was born.
Alex: Really?
Angie: That's right. My first Seahawks game was when my mother was seven months pregnant with me in the King Dome.
Alex: It was a good year for you.
Angie: It was a great year, and I've got season tickets. So I'm hoping for a...a repeat next year.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: Uh, Brian Keele is from Atlanta, Georgia, who works at a notable architectural firm which specializes in a particular kind of architecture. What?
Brian: Uh, we do very, very large projects. We do a lot of work
internationally, a lot of high-rise buildings. And we have a particular concentration in hospitality, high-end hotels, resorts,
convention centers.
Alex: Now that's in your part of the country. Does your firm do work in places like Los Angeles?
Brian: Actually, I am working on two projects in San Diego currently.
Alex: Really? So if you're designing projects for our part of the world, you have to take into account the possibility of earthquakes.
Brian: Absolutely.
Alex: It adds a lot of expense. Extra expense, doesn't it?
Brian: It's very interesting doing work in California.
Alex: [ chuckles ] Yes, I'm sure it is.
Alex: Okay, our champion is Troy Senik. He is a newspaper columnist from here in Southern California. Always had a desire to travel to an exotic place that I can talk to you about --Antarctica, right?
Troy: Antarctica, yeah, I've always had the fascination with Antarctica primarily because if you think about it in historical terms, there's no place really that's been seen by fewer people throughout history that most people before us never would've had the opportunity, so...
Alex: And yet, it was first seen by Europeans a long, long time ago.
Troy: Right.
Alex: Many hundreds of years ago. But it's a great place to visit. Go there in December or January, their summer, and you'll enjoy it.
Troy: You have a restaurant that you'd recommend?
[ laughter ] I thought you knew!
Alex: Right on, Jack.
