To be precise, Meredith said every in the audience would get a subscription. She didn't say they would all get a one-year subscription. When I went to one of the NYC auditions that included the movie week test, all the auditioners were given that promise, too. The certificate we were given was for a one-month trial membership. That happened to be the same offer Netflix extends to all new subscribers.

Can do an impression of Chewbacca, Mere wasn't impressed by her first attempt and said it sounded like she was gargling.

Brought her boyfriend Danny to the show. He learned Chewbacca from her and did a demonstration. They met at a romantic movie. He asked her to bring an extra large purse and she agreed. She found out it was because he brought a lot of goodies to smuggle into the theater. During the show she would go back often to hug him.

Mere would announce later in the show that in addition to her winnings, Courtney will get a (Edit: length not specified) Netflix subscription.
Also all audience members will get the same.

WTG... It sounds like you were in the pool for this week from your audition last year?

The $250K was a film I saw in the theaters and was aware of its slow rise and long run at the box office. Thinking it was not likely to have topped any week so it would have been a correct WAG. However, I'm terrible at movies and did not know most of the answers before then. When this week comes around I check here for movie fan input as to the difficulty range of the questions.
