Angel Tuider-Frale
Woodbridge, IL

Angel's 91-year old grandfather sells newspapers at the train station and has told everyone about her appearance on the show. He helped raise Angel and if she wins some money she'd like do something nice for him. Her husband Anthony is in the relationship seat; he just heard that he got a new job in Florida so they need money for a house.

Angel says being on the show is nothing like watching it on TV. She calls her grandfather John "Pops". His reaction when she told him she was going to be on the show was, "Don't you have to be smart to be on that show?"

Question #6 (Gotta Be the Shoes - Level 10)

The audience grumbles at the percentages, to which Meredith says, "You created the problem." Angel says the percentage isn't strong enough to gamble so she decides to jump the question.

Angel says it seems that the answer should be easy. "Pompeii, volcano, volcanic ash,

pottery"

. She really wants to say that as her final answer and she has to decide how good a poker player she is, whether to go all in or not. She can hear her husband's voice saying, "Go home, go home" (the camera cuts to Anthony who has a pained look on his face and he's nodding). Anything Angel leaves with is more than she came with and she's been saying that since the beginning.

She's done really well up to this point so I'd say she was "smart".

I think the audience went with the two American names among the four choices. I'd have thought it was either Connors or Nastase because their careers were earlier. But I wouldn't have expected it to be "Nasty" Nastase. I'd like to think I'd have used a JTQ on this rather than blurt out the wrong answer.

Streisand is the only one who fits all of these categories and has an ego big enough to brag about them.

Well, "thermo" means "heat", which would eliminate B and D, so it's all a matter of what "poliuim" means. My Latin isn't nearly as good as my Greek and nothing comes to mind. I'll have to JTQ.

I forgot to mention that Mere put "the curse" on Angel - as they resumed game play Meredith noted that Angel hadn't used any lifelines yet. Once Mere says that, it's a safe bet that the contestant will be using a lifeline on the next question.

Here's a short article about Angel's appearance.

Did they forget to mention on the show what Angel does?

Tuider-Frale is a variety entertainer, according to the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" Facebook page.

Google failed to find anything about her occupation. She was married in Maui, however.

Tweeter-Frail sounds like someone whose Twitter account only has 7 Tweets.
