Brent Massey, from Muskogee, OK, enters the Hot Seat for Movie Week, next Wednesday.

SPOILER WARNING: Although he tells the reporter than he can't reveal his results, there's a pretty significant hint about that in the article.
Massey said host Meredith Vierea had no pretensions.
“She was really cool” he said. “She talked with us and it was comforting. I was so nervous.”
Massey said that while they were introducing in the show, Vierea pronounced Muskogee wrong and they had to re-shoot the take.
Is that why the reporter spells Vieira wrong?

Definitely significant.

I wonder if "Okie from Muskogee" will come up during the banter.
There are several other interesting items in the article:
1. He says that testers must score 20 out of 25 on the test - I wonder how he knows that.
2. He didn't mention getting a card at all - did he just get the call?
3.
I imagine, based on the spoiler information, that he made enough to pay for the trip.

Since we have good reason to believe that passing is 25 out of 30, I suspect somebody got it wrong.
