She's just another of many contestants who have expressed this same sentiment. I don't understand it, to be honest.

There's been an awful lot of fashion questions this week. Is that by design? I don't remember Sherri Shepherd getting a lot of questions about Newlyweds or The View.

That's a lot of education - I hope they ask her what field(s) she's pursuing.

Too bad. "Beach volleyball" is a pretty good guess, though - it seems to get more publicity than doubles tennis (particularly women's beach volleyball).

I remembered seeing a 60 Minutes interview of the Bryan brothers some time ago...although I wouldn't have recalled their names before seeing this question.

At least you did not walk on the stack this time
I put the *flashback* highlight to prevent such a repeat incident.

I'll never forget this question, because it's a repeat of bazodee's last question on Super Millionaire, and I was sitting in the ROF while he was in the HS.
