I kept yelling "D. Nine otters" at the TV screen but the stupid young lady wouldn't listen. Talk about frustration.

What a dope.

In the same vein, watching the tail end of Family Feud, where they have to come up with an answer to each of five survey questions in 20 seconds:

"Name a political party"
vacant expression for five seconds, until she passes to the next question

"Fill in the blank - 'blank it off' "
Answer - "Blank it off all over my body"

eta - I had forgotten, earlier in the game, question was "Other than Steve Harvey, what actor should play Steve Harvey in movie about his life?"

Answer - Donald Trump

Re. Ditzy Miss Teen USA, Caitlin Upton, after contemplating suicide, is now a working actor in Hollywood -- because of, or in spite of, her horribly convoluted answer during her pageant appearance.
