No problems here. Gotta root for the lady from Kansas. And good for her in rejecting the ever-popular celebrity hook! She's there for the million, Meredith! Seeing Brangelina is just an extra perk.

So the APs still like the meaningless celebrity encounter anecdotes, but at least Joanna hasn't lost her perspective!

It needs to be mentioned that the Brangelina sighting was NOT Joanna's hook for being chosen by the APs, since it didn't happen until her trip to tape.

Yes, that's true. I complimented the contestant, while my grumble was directed at the APs. They decide what the topics of conversation will be, and--in reviewing everything she told them before taping began--they decided that the "country hick gets celebrity-struck in the big city" was the first thing to go with.
