Debora said that she wanted to win the trip so that she could take her two teenaged girls while they would still want to be seen with her.

I presume "chin-ups" are the same as "pull-ups". I was expecting the former.

I guessed correctly, but if I'd been at the Hot Podium I'd have used my ATA. Meredith said it was a duet with Willie Nelson called "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die".
