CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Anne Raybon is a teacher's assistant from North Carolina who has hosted how many foreign exchange students?
Anne: Four in my home, but I have helped find host families for over a hundred students in the last--
Alex: How'd you get involved in that?
Anne: Actually, I found a picture of a Japanese man and his wife in my rural Northwestern Georgia grandmother's drawers, and I said, "Who is this man?" And it was their exchange student that they hosted in the '50s, and I thought, "That would be fun."
[Apparent edit]
Alex: All right. Good for you.
Alex: Doug Lloyd is a law student from Charlton, Massachusetts, who accidentally did s--had an accident while baking something. Tell us.
Doug: I did. Uh, my mother's birthday's around Thanksgiving. So every year, somebody in my family gets assigned to make the birthday cake, and last year, it was my turn, and I made the cake and I thought everything was fine, and when she cut into it after blowing out the candles, the knife stopped and hit something really hard, and--couldn't figure out what it was, and then we pried it apart, and I had accidentally left a spoon, metal spoon, in the cake.
