Kerren picks up "Rabbity" and asks if he knows it.

Commercial break

Kerren is a free-lance editor and even proofreads menus to find errors. She once found a seafood entry for something listed as "deep-fried Buffalo crap". She didn't point it out to the restaurant. Her boyfriend Tony is in the relationship seat.

Kerren hates sushi so she decides to ask the audience.

ATA results:

B - 1%
C - 34%
D - 58%


Kerren nods as Meredith reads the result. She thought it was ginger and she's glad the audience knows more than she does.

Commercial break

Kerren needs the money because her boyfriend would like to see the South Seas and she'd like to see them again. She would like to go to Bora Bora. She's always dreamed of it.

I really liked Kerren - she reminded me a lot of hermillion - upbeat, charming, just what a contestant should be.

Should this word be at all familiar to those of us who haven't seen this show? ATA for me.

Why is Meredith suddenly asking, "Why do you need the money?" This isn't Queen for a Day, dammit!

4K: Never heard this term before this show aired. Would have guessed "tigress" with no money involved, but on show would have ATAed.

otherwise good.
