Radio personality

Delana has interviewed Bill Clinton, J Lo and Martha Stewart.
The only time she has been as nervous as she is now was when she interviewed Lionel Richie.
She had been in love with Lionel since she was a little girl. When she was talking to him, he said, “Delana, you’re once, twice, three times a lady.”
She said that he said it so smooth and sultry that she almost fell out of her chair and started smoking.”

Delana has all of her lifelines.

I would have needed to ATA on the soup question. The only one I was sure it wasn't is minestrone-I've eaten it before. Lots of vegetables and pasta, but no sour cream.

I knew the $16K cold. Is that channel still around? I haven't heard much about it lately.

She could have used her PaF-she still had it available.

Is a "radio personality" different than a "radio disk jockey"?

On the premises of Wright-Patterson AFB; our Corps district does construction work for the Air Force and we've constructed and refurbished several of these over the last 15 years.

I really think she might have come up with this if she had thought about it a little longer.

I wonder how the audience would have done with this question - because that's the lifeline I would have used. If I didn't get a good response it would be time to PAF because 50/50 wouldn't help.

Tough stack for me. 2K, 8K and 16K were all guesses. The only one I guessed correctly on my own was the 2K. Never even heard of the 16K Q. Probably wouldn't have made it to 25K even with lifelines.
