Traci, Towanda & Trina Braxton (Braxton Family Values)

Playing for charity: Saving our Daughters

Cedric said he can only handle two of them at once and that they have to choose one of them to move back to the relationship seat. However, they would add a "Switch a Sister" lifeline to allow them to switch once at one point during the game. They chose to send Trina back because they were afraid the first would be a sports question that she knows nothing about.

Hillary climbed Everest in 1953, which is 60 years ago. 60 x .5 = 30 inches, or 2.5 feet.
