“My friend, Julia, auditioned and got on. They don’t do phone-a-friend anymore so I came as her plus one because we’re super into trivia,” explained Tagliaferro, referring to the lifeline where a contestant is able to have a friend’s help in answering a question.

Lauren and Julia have a podcast called

I was in the green room with them. And I heard of another couple that did the same thing. And yes, any plus 1 can take the test while waiting.
