CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: You couldn't see it on camera, but Dani Cook is wearing two sets of engagement and wedding rings. What's the story?
Dani: So, I have my, uh, engagement ring and my wedding ring that my husband gave me, but I also wear my grandmother's engagement ring and wedding ring to remind me that she's looking out for me all the time. And she was a huge Jeopardy! fan, so she'd be really happy.
Alex: I was just going to say, she must have been very important in your life as well.
Dani: She was. She was.
Alex: Grandparents are special to the kids.
Dani: Very special.
Alex: They are the barriers between my children... and me.
[Laughter]
Alex: Salvatore Parente from Sunrise, Florida.
Salvatore: Yes.
Alex: A glazier.
Salvatore: That is correct.
Alex: Which means?
Salvatore: I work with glass products.
Alex: What kind of glass specifically?
Salvatore: What we do is--I work for a company--we distribute shower door, uh, stalls glass to the shower door industry, to the trade.
Alex: Shower doors. Well, that's heavyweight stuff.
Salvatore: Yes.
Alex: Yeah. Okay. Good to have you with us.
Alex: Greg Seroka, I think--he is our champion, and he has a thing for bullfighting because he was in Spain--I assume--when you were trying to run with the bulls?
Greg: We were. We went to Pamplona for the festival, and we tried to run with the bulls. We posted up along the--the course. But we were a little bit too far down the course for the Spanish police, so they very politely made us exit the course. And by "politely", I mean not politely at all.
[Laughter]
Alex: Did you ever get to run with the bulls?
Greg: No, I still haven't.
Alex: Good for you. [Laughs] That--that--that--believe me, that's a positive. [Laughing] That's a positive. There are some things that we should not do--
Greg: Maybe you're right.
Alex: --no matter how much sangria you have consumed beforehand.
[Laughter]
