Articles about upcoming contestants

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Fri Feb 22, 2008 7:58 am

One more NetFlix movie contestant: Matthew Klassen, a film senior at Arizona State University.

Klassen said he did not have a job in August, when his mom told him about Millionaire auditions at the Gila River Casinos in Chandler. He took a 30-question multiple-choice test, had a five-minute interview with a producer and filled out a personality questionnaire.
Well, it was a little too late in the summer to send him out looking for a real job, mom. :wink:
Klassen said he brought his sister, Katie, to New York with him, and the two stayed in a $40-a-night hotel because "Millionaire" didn't cover travel expenses.
Is there such a hotel room in NYC? One that human beings would want to stay in? :shock:



Also, at the end of an entertainment column, there's a one-line blurb about another contestant from the 'burgh. I'll put this in a spoiler, for its minimal spoilerage.

Spoiler
Jen Pierson, a recent University of Pittsburgh School of Law graduate, will be a contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (1 p.m. weekdays, WPXI) on Wednesday and Thursday.

I think that was a $40 per hour hotel.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
