Question 1-NFC. This was at the top of the un-randomized stack, so I figured it would be a hard one. JTQ.

Questions 2-this was easy, as was Question 3.

Question 4-what is this??? never heard of this game. The audience (although they were right) seemed split between A and C. I'd JTQ right away.

Question 5-OK, I know about Joe, Nick, and Kevin. This is easy pop culture thanks to People magazine.

Question 6-easy.

Questions 7 through 9 were easy for me, too.
I'm just a game show nerd.

This one is so easy. It's right after the pillow fights and right before the experimental lesbianism....

Yay for somebody noting that!

Btw, Uly, do you know any of the USC Song Girls? (Serious question, not stiff as a board lesbian joke....)

My thought when I saw the ATA percentages -- "So, 47% of the audience was men." :)

(Really, men that apparently have never watched a movie where preteen or teen girls have a sleepover. :roll: )

Some of them (maybe half a dozen or so) were on Don't Forget the Lyrics this week, cheering on the one who was a contestant. Her name was Erin Askew (? on the last name) and she was very cute and charming.

And quite entertaining, even though it was a theme week and she wasn't a "real" contestant......

Yes, I know Erin and her parents. She just had knee surgery and is done as a song girl. I had heard that they were on the show. Did she forget any lyrics? She is a WE (the dancing kind) and her sister is in NY and a dancer/actress also.

Wowsers. This would have been a tough stack for me: I did not 'know' the answers to any of the first six questions, although I was able to reason out the answers to four of them: the Olympics one was kind of easy when you think about the athletic programs at the different schools and the successes of their athletes, King Solomon's Mines is obvious, I cook a lot so 'Sonoma' seemed right, and although I don't watch any 'reality' shows, I know enough about them to know that 'Bachelor' is the only one where 'love' would be involved. But being the manly sort of man that I mainly am, I had NFC about the sleepovers or Jonas brothers, and would have had to burn the ATA and/or JTQ on those.
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.

That is the one, she of the gorgeous dimples. She yakked on It's Still Rock and Roll to Me for the big bucks, but she got the lyrics to Under My Thumb, which was pretty impressive coming from a cheerful thing such as herself. I can't remember exactly, but I think her charity was some LA inner city education thing.

That sucks about her knee, I hope it doesn't end her dancing aspirations (I love WEs!). Her parents were in the audience and I thought damn, her mom looks young! And then I realized that she is in college, so her mom IS young......

Here she is post-op in the stands at the last home football game. And her mom and dad are probably in their mid forties. I will have to get a copy of her show.

I got disgusted with American Idol when it got to the point where most of the contestants' parents were younger than I. (Well, that and the fact the show has gone to hell, but that's beside the point...) :evil:

Meredith shoud have asked him how many lotteries he's won using this method.

With apologies to uly, I would have done the same thing.

I'd ATA also. Slumber parties are largely girl things, aren't they? I'm guessing that the answer is because this is related to a "levitation" game that I've seen done (but not at a slumber party).

Didn't see the movie, but I've got one JTQ left, so I'll use it here.
