Applying to be on the show was Edmondson’s idea, and she must be persuasive, because Rosenthal deferred law school to participate. “I don’t think I could have looked her in the face if we hadn’t been chosen,” said Edmondson.

This was not an idle boast. Edmondson put a lot of thought into the effort. “I didn’t want to do this with a family member or significant other. Those teams always get involved in their own issues instead of concentrating on the competition.”
