'Al Roker' was correct? Really?
You know the world has changed significantly overnight when the 'D' answer to Question 1 is correct...



So 50:50 and PAF are gone/going, but TDC(tm) is staying to claim another victim.
Another shameless Disney cash-save/cash-grab...

Yep, met her. Seemed like a nice girl. She had the "Oh, I was forced into coming here today to the audition" hook.

To Kill a Mockingbird- Alabama
Native Son- Chicago
Sound and the Fury- Mississippi
Gone With the Wind- Atlanta

SIGH.

No one reads the classics anymore?

PS WTF am I talking about? I hated Gone With the Wind!!!!!

In this case, seeing the movie might have been enough to suggest the correct answer. Fittingly.

Here's an article about Stephanie's appearance.

“For some reason, I confused ‘The Sound and the Fury’ with ‘Gone With the Wind,’ ” Osorio said. “I’m very competitive, so I was ticked off when I lost, but I’m fine now,” she said Wednesday afternoon.

oops, sorry my fault on that hasty transcription error. I think it was a result of a momentary internal debate on whether I should capture the little bit of added banter from Meredith about Mr. Roker. (I decided it was too boring to include...)

thanks to whoever fixed it, as well as my name typo.

I had it narrowed down to A and C, I've read A, B, and D and I knew it wasn't B or D. I knew Sound and Fury was in the south, but couldn't remember where exactly so I would have DD on this. And would have ATA on the $7500 clue, those show's weren't my type of shows.

[Sigh ...]

So TDC finds a victim.

The clock has to go. Now.

I seem to recall a fairly well-known part of "Gone with the Wind" being devoted to the burning down of Atlanta...

While this isn't exactly the same thing, as an Atlantan, I've noticed that questions about Atlanta and Georgia seem to pop up an inordinate amount of the time on both Millionaire and Jeopardy, especially the latter. It seems that on Jeopardy,whenever the answer is a state, one of the high dollar questions always seems to ask about Georgia (and if it's a city, it's Atlanta). It's as if, whenever they want something obscure but not too obscure (Wyoming or Montana for example), they decide to go with Georgia.

That being said, this one was by no means obscure....

Freaked out? Let's hope her other professors are more sanguine after the fact.

I'd blame TDC® but she would have been wrong no matter what (unless given more time she might have come up with a different answer).
