CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Michael Tvaruzka is from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Sometimes in life, things don't go as well as we would like them to. They'll go well for a while. Tell me about the girl you met and asked out.
Michael: Well, I had seen this cute girl at the bar where I worked, and I asked her out on a date to go see a-a musician who was coming to town. Everybody liked him. So I had her come over to the house, uh, cooked dinner, prepared a dessert and everything, uh, but then had to go to the concert. And we had a good time and went to the bar afterwards, and she started talking to the singer and left with him.
[Laughter]
Alex: Jesse Tow is from Austin, Texas. Jesse blogs like most people nowadays, but about a specific subject, which is?
Jesse: Doritos.
Alex: Of course.
Jesse: Yes.
Alex: What's wrong with you, Jesse?
[Laughter]
Jesse: I like bold and tasty chips.
Alex: [Laughs] How'd you get started on this?
Jesse: I went to the convenience store near where I work, um, pretty often. And I noticed they had quite a bit of flavors that I hadn't tried, and it seemed like they were cycling them out here and there, so I thought, you know, what better way than to share my fine, discriminating taste of junk food with the world.
Alex: And the amazing thing is, there are thousands of people out there who are interested in that stuff, right?
Jesse: Well, they haven't found my blog yet, so...
[Laughter]
[Alex laughs]
Alex: Joey Falco is from Santa Monica, California. You're a big-time fainter, it says here. What--what are we talking about?
Joey: Occasionally. Um, the worse time was, uh, I was probably about 10 years old in the Statue of Liberty, climbing it up with--with my dad, uh, back when you could still do that, and, uh, maybe it was the heat or--or just the overwhelming experience, but I-I collapsed near the top, and my dad had to carry me down several hundred stairs. It was pretty horrible for him.
Alex: Does the elevator not mean anything to your dad?
[Laughter]
Joey: I mean, I don't want to say he's not the sharpest guy in the world, but--
Alex: You just did.
[Laughs]
Alex: You just did, and you're in deep, deep trouble.
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
KISSING $400: In a novel he says, "None of the fools you've known have kissed you like this... your precious Charles... or your stupid Ashley"
(Alex: And that was [*] speaking to Scarlett O'Hara.)
KISSING $800: Marlene Dietrich called this love of hers "Papa" & wrote to him, "I want to kiss you forever and a day"
HOUSTON, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM $800: In 1937 Texas created this "control district" to combat a disaster that wreaked havoc in 1929 & 1935

(Jesse: What is a tornado?)
