Hmmmm. None of those choices look derived from state names. If they didn't say it was a her home town, does that mean she was born in a different town? Maybe in one of those upstate towns that always go nameless?

Hmmm...maybe the Hot Podium could be used as a massage table.

We're going to hear that Kathleen doesn't have a lot of personal experience in several areas. A pity that her double money question was only worth $100.
