Article about an upcoming contestant

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Sun May 17, 2015 2:08 pm

On Tuesday:

Rabbi Cookie Lea Olshein of Temple Israel in West Palm Beach will be featured in the episode, which she tried out for last summer while on vacation in Las Vegas.
A rabbi named Cookie? That sounds like a good hook to start the interview! :)
“Originally, I was told my episode would air sometime near the High Holy Days, but then they decided to hold off airing it until May sweeps,” she said via email. “Now, almost a year later, I have now been informed that my episode is going to air at 1 p.m. Tuesday.”
Maybe they've actually been able to save some contestants who've done well, this season?

Before moving to Florida Cookie was an assistant Rabbi here in Austin (at a different synagogue then the one our family belongs to), but I did meet her a few times and we did chat a bit about game shows. Even 4-5 years ago, she was talking about trying to get on WWTBAM. Very nice person - I hope she did well.
