CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Michelle Bulger Mabery is from Atlanta, Georgia. She is a management consultant. She is married. And her husband proposed to her in what I would think is a very romantic place.
Michelle: Yes. He surprised me with a trip to Paris because--
Alex: Hello.
Michelle: --he's a storybook character that came to life, and he proposed at the Temple of Love at Versailles, in the gardens. It's a marble gazebo. It's beautiful.
Alex: And you said yes.
Michelle: Yeah, how could I say no?
Alex: Good answer.
Alex: Todd Giese from New Orleans. Hotel front desk manager at some boutique hotels, I understand, that may or may not be haunted? Is that right?
Todd: There are four of them in the French Quarter, I don't have them, but I work at them. And they're all built around the 1830s, and you know, everything in New Orleans, especially in the French Quarter, is always iffy whether it's haunted or not haunted, you know? You kind of feel out the guests, see if they want it to be before you answer, you know, when they ask.
[Laughter]
Alex: Have any of them complained and said, "We've seen something, we've heard something?"
Todd: We--I wouldn't call it complaints, but yeah, we do get a lot of people--guests will come back and bring us their pictures with little fuzzy things in the mirrors and stuff like that, you know? But they're very proud of it. You know, they love to have it.
Alex: Yes, but they just don't know how to focus with their cameras.
[Laughter]
Todd: Maybe.
Alex: That's the problem.
Alex: Erin Bowers is our champion. She is from Washington D.C. Very knowledgeable in many different areas and also very musical, I understand.
Erin: Yes. I sing second alto in the City Choir of Washington, which is a professional-level volunteer chorus that serves the D.C. area.
Alex: Is it a big choir?
Erin: It's about 100 people--between 100 and 120, depends on the concert.
Alex: Do you perform mostly in the Washington, D.C. area--
Erin: Yes.
Alex: --or do you travel throughout the country?
Erin: Mostly in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area.
Alex: Good way to meet other people and socialize.
Erin: It really is, and it's a lot of fun.
Alex: Okay, good.
