If Shushanna's bio is anything to go off of, she's going to dominate this show. She cites favorite movies that are action packed and masculine, but also have a broader critical appeal. She talks about past relationships while giving herself subtle excuses not to take responsibility for the breakups. She hints at skepticism about the show and her shaken faith in love, about hopes, about loss. She even manages to slip in she's a good cook without sounding too braggy (which...I feel like the question "How good a cook are you?" is new this year in addition to being terribly phrased. Do we think Ben specially requested its inclusion? Do we think he's been subsisting on Kraft Dinner for the past 5 years?)
Her profile is good, but...is it possible that it might be a little too good? After a year in which daily fantasy leagues like Draft Kings and Fan Duel were plagued with scandal (it's obviously only a matter of time before they expand into the reality TV market), can we be sure that she didn't craft her answers using a complex statistical model designed to maximize her appeal? She is a mathematician, and I think we all know the motives of smart people can't be trusted when it comes to these types of shows.
