This was a pretty easy stack. I would have no problems with it.

If you are going to be on a game show, you should at least have a basic knowledge of US geography. Answer I is Alaska-it borders Canada. Answer B isAkrizona, which borders Mexico and answer C is Alabama, which borders the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe her game show whiz dad could have helped her.
I'm just a game show nerd.

When she started naming states that bordered Canada, and started with Washington, I figured she was doomed.
