Another person I met in Vegas made it on the show... YAY!

I sat with Shirley for most of the callbacks..and she was just lovely.. I KNEW they were going to pick her and I even told her so! She was good people and I hope she does really well! As for me back in the pool I go I guess. Although I'd sure be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed about not getting the call...there's always next year... and I regret nothing! xoxo Danny

Shirley says that when they were walking down the hall, one of the staffers said that "what the hall does is suck all the knowledge out of your head."

A funny quote, but Shirley had just said that she never watched this show, so it's not like the knowledge for this question was ever there to be sucked out.

Oh, and I doubt that 87% of the audience watch this show, either. A lot were probably voting for what looked like (and this time, was) the obvious answer.

If one has never seen the commercials, "Jolly Rancher" is a wicked distractor, imo. During consumption, it's definitely juicier than original Starburst, which is much more chewy than juicy. Lucky for Shirley the hall was unable to suck the Scottish-Korean guy out of her head.

I never watched the show either, but I know one of the "girls" married a Philadelphia Eagle.
