trivia: Many players guessed Louise for Nicole Eggert (0582). This goo inspired a rule change, that guesses for a fictional character would count if the goo was an actor and the source photo was in-character. The source image of this goo was a promotional photo of Louise as Ginger Grant, and Scott decided to count several guesses that came in for Grant because there was nothing to distinguish her from Louise.
This goo was part of Do-Over Week III. Each goo was based on popular incorrect guesses made for earlier goos. |
