CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: The power of showbiz. Will Anderson is a senior legislative aide who has worked for two members of Congress?
Will: That's correct.
Alex: Which means you've met people in power in our government, right?
Will: I've had the privilege and honor of meeting presidents and Secretaries of State, the Dalai Lama, but among my favorites is, uh, Stephen Colbert, who, uh, actually comes to D.C. on a pretty regular basis. He tapes on Fridays for "Better Know a District", so I happened to be doing my work, I walked into a scene that he was having, and I happened to technically be on The Colbert Report, so...
Alex: Do you think he should run?
Will: Uh, you know, I'm a big fan, but I think I'll let him make the decision on that one.
Alex: Yeah, of course he's got that late night show now.
Will: That's right.
Alex: So that's--that's--that's a big, important job, too.
Will: Mm-hmm.
Alex: Now, Erin Rhode. Uh, you are a curler.

Alex: Yeah. Good for you. Now, uh, what position do you have on the team?

Alex: Okay.
Alex: Daniel Grigg is a beer wholesaler from Colorado Springs who met his wife at a concert in spite of the fact that you had gone to the same high school together many years before.
Daniel: Yes, and we're the same age, so it's quite ironic.
Alex: So you were there at the same time.
Daniel: She graduated a year earlier than me. She's smarter than I am, though. [Laughs]
Alex: Ah, okay. And you've been together now for how many years?
Daniel: Uh, we've been married for three years now.
Alex: Three years. Okay.
Daniel: Going on.
Alex: All right. Going on. Okay. [Laughs] Remember, those are important things to remember in a marriage--
Daniel: Yeah.
Alex: --if you want it to last more than--
Daniel: I thought you were gonna quiz me on what the band was, so I was--
Alex: Oh, no, no, I--
