Since the [placeholder] hasn't been filled in yet, the article I'm linking to here is a spoiler for anyone who hasn't actually seen the show. But for those who have seen it (or don't care):

http://deerfield.suntimes.com/news/1019 ... naire.html

My daughter, Samantha, and I were making dinner one day in July and watching ‘Cash Cab’ when we discovered that ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ was still on the air,” Rice said. “She said ‘You’re really good at this. Why don’t you try it?’”

Not a regular viewer, then?

And the next week there was an announcement saying the show, hosted by Meredith Vieira locally on WGN weekdays at 4 p.m. and in its 10th season, was auditioning potential contestants at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights.

What fortunate timing!

Well, she got the Happy Card through that audition. But her taping experience sounds like a replay of gsabc's.

When the day came, Rice awoke early because she had to be at the studio at 6:45 a.m. But she was shocked to see how foggy it had become — indoors and out.

“I didn’t find out until later that epithelial tissue had pulled away from my eyes, possibly because of faulty contacts,” Rice said. “I could barely see the questions. All I could think of was ‘Why here? Why now?’ I thought it must be nerves.”
