Transcript 01/11/2008 - Jen Voss

#1 Post by BBTranscriptTeam » Sat Jan 12, 2008 7:57 pm

Jen Voss
Newton, NJ
PR and marketing field


Meredith says that there's a lot of positive energy in the room.

$100 - The Christmas carol "Deck the Halls" features the line "'Tis the season to be" what?

A - jolly
B - merry
C - festive
D - bloated

Jen says the way her family eats the answer would be "bloated".

$200 - In 1993, MTV introduced a TV series featuring a crude pair of slackers with the unfortunate names Beavis and what?

A - Stink-Breath
B - Pea-Brain
C - Butt-Head
D - Dork-Face

Jen says that's a show her parents didn't want her to watch, but they're behind her in the audience now probably saying to themselves that she didn't listen to them.

$300 - The term "digits" refers to fingers and what other parts of the human body?

A - knees
B - ears
C - eyes
D - toes

$500 - An observation platform called a "crow's nest" is traditionally found at the top of a what?

A - boat
B - truck
C - stagecoach
D - trolley car

Jen thinks she knows this and she hates to do it now but she decides to ask the audience. She trusts the audience more than she trusts herself right now.

ATA results:
A - 97%
B - 2%
C - 0%
D - 1%


That's what Jen figured. She thanks the audience because they're less nervous than she is.

$1K - The piece of music commonly referred to as "Beethoven's Ninth" is Beethoven's ninth what?

A - sonata
B - fugue
C - symphony
D - concerto

Music isn't Jen's subject, either, but she knows this one.

commercial break

Meredith says that the Hot Seat is a nerve-wracking place to be.

$2K - Which of these famous advertising slogans is redundant?

A - I'm Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs
B - Just Do It
C - Quality is Job One
D - Raid, Kills Bugs Dead

Jen is in PR and marketing. Everyone else is a doctor or an attorney or something that helps them with the questions but she figured her job wouldn't help her with anything. She knows that "kills" and "dead" are the same, and "redundant" means "the same thing" so she makes "D" her final answer.

$4K - Which of these amounts is equal to the number of pockets on a standard pool table?

A - teaspoons in a tablespoon
B - wives of Henry VIII
C - strings on a violin
D - digits in a U.S. ZIP code

Jen is torn between two and although she doesn't want to do it she asks for the 50/50, leaving B and C. Meredith asked if that helped. Jen says, "No, because I don't know how many strings there are on a violin." She's never played a musical instrument and these two answers were the two she was torn between. Meredith pulls the big fake-out on her.

$8K - Whose book, "A Room of One's Own" was based on lectures she gave at the women's colleges at Cambridge University?

A - Sylvia Plath
B - Eudora Welty
C - Gertrude Stein
D - Virginia Woolf

Jen wants to call her friend Aneesh, who was an English major at Syracuse. Aneesh is a man (or has a very deep voice). Jen reads through the entire question and answers. Aneesh wants to say it's either Plath or Stein, and time expires before he can give her a guess. She goes with "A" as her final answer and leaves with $1K.

And of course, every time it comes up
Spoiler

$8K: No clue. Take the PAF.

I'm guessing that Newton is in the WE® area, given the procession of such contestants over the past few days.

If my own experience is any indication, Jen speaks truly. We tried to keep our sons from watching that show, but they did see it at friends' houses and such.

Normally I'd <Sigh> at this use of a lifeline, but it seemed that Jen was really nervous - a bad case of Hotseatitis.

A = 3, C = 4 and D=5. So even if I didn't know "the six wives of Henry VIII" it would be an easy get through process of elimination.

No idea for me, so might as well ATA and see if the audience is up on their authors. If not, time to PAF.

4K: 3, 6, 4, or 5; there are at least 6 pockets on a pool table, right? I thought there were more! Go with 6.

otherwise fine
