CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Cary Finkelstein is a young attorney, and I would love to be invited to your house because I hear you make your own ice cream.
Cary: I do. All kinds of flavors. Sweet, savory, everything in between.
Alex: How did you get started in that?
Cary: I just picked it up from a couple of websites and cookbooks I had been reading and started exploring it. It's a fun way to play around.
Alex: What's your favorite flavor?
Cary: I think it's the oatmeal chocolate chip, 'cause you got the texture of the oatmeal and chocolate.
Alex: Can't go wrong with chocolate.
Cary: Yeah.
Alex: Doesn't matter what you make out of chocolate. A steak tastes good with chocolate.
Alex: Megan Mills is a teacher from Fairfax, Virginia. And you're into games, I understand, and that was kind of featured at your wedding, wasn't it?
Megan: Yeah, it was. We, um--we had a whole bunch of board games. We had a vintage Super Nintendo set, as well. And our centerpieces were Jenga sets, which I have to say was my husband Dave's idea and it was a good one. I didn't think it was going to be very good, though.
Alex: And you guys were tossing Frisbees at the wedding, too?
Megan: Yes, we were. I've got a great photo of me jumping for a disc in my wedding dress.
Alex: I hope your grandmother or grandparents or elderly people at the wedding weren't tossing Frisbees.
Megan: Nope. Just some young people.
Alex: Okay, good.
Alex: Laurie MacDougall is our champion. She's a cancer registrar, and she performed onstage with a very famous entertainer.
Laurie: Yes, Vanessa Williams.
Alex: What was the occasion?
Laurie: Back in high school, our schools used to do annual exchanges, and I played violin at the time, she played viola, and so I realized much later when she became Vanessa Williams that I had performed onstage with her.
Alex: Okay, lots of good claim to fame. And now you have another--you're a Jeopardy! champion.
