Mead received a text message in late March asking her to respond to a few questions. Afterward, she was invited to come to California for filming of the show in early May. She says that she had a great experience to be part of the show.
It’s a show I’ve always loved. Even watching it, there are the ones you get right and you get excited about; and there are the ones you know watching from home and maybe none of the contestants do, so you get to feel a little smart from that. But then, just all the stuff that you don’t know, it’s kind of like, oh, I didn’t know that; that’s really interesting.
Allee is hosting a gathering of friends for a private watch party in her town. Moreover, she said that she had ordered food for 50 people and a cake.
