Meredith asked if the fire department had asked her for anything if she won lots of money. Mary Ann joked that the others didn't even think she'd get on the show.

One of the things that a contestant and PAF need is the ability to distill the question to its essence. Had Mary Ann simply asked who the author of the "Rabbit" series was, her PAF would have had more time to answer the question.

Here's an article about Mary Ann's appearance.

Asked if anyone wanted to comment for the record on their TV-star colleague, there were few takers.

“You should have been here yesterday if you wanted some comments,” one said.

“Yeah, when she wasn’t here,” firefighter Steve Maxon quipped.
