CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: I hope there's some interesting background information about this regarding Meghan Whalen. You have traveled to France and Belgium to visit...
Meghan: To visit World War I sites.
Alex: Why World War I?
Meghan: Well, I was with a tour group that was visiting a lot of different historic sites. We had a--we worked with a professor who was a World War I scholar, so he took a bunch of people to see the World War I sites. And it was really fascinating and such an amazing part of history to see.
Alex: So he brought it all to life for you.
Meghan: Absolutely.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: Sean Sullivan, financial adviser from New Jersey. Did you ever practice law?
Sean: Yes, I did, Alex.
Alex: And you won a case without calling a witness, without asking one question?
Sean: Yes.
Alex: I'd like you to represent me. What--what were the circumstances?
Sean: It was a criminal case, and the prosecutor had one witness. He didn't prove his case, and I didn't want to help him out any. And I got to say in summation that I wasn't putting words in anybody's mouth, and we won the case.
Alex: Good for you. A man of few words.
Sean: But don't get arrested, okay?
Alex: Okay, I won't.
Alex: Steph Bundy is our champion, ladies and gentlemen. You work with alpacas, right?
Steph: I do. I work at a summer camp, and we have a number of animals, including an alpaca named Al.
Alex: Do alpacas spit? Because llamas do, don't they?
Steph: They do, especially if he's annoyed at something.
Alex: So he'll spit at you.
Steph: He will if he's very annoyed. Like, you have to give him a shot.
Alex: How do you stay on his good side?
Steph: You give him food.
Alex: Well, that works for me, too.
