LaMantia said he filled out a contestant application online and later auditioned in Chicago over winter break. 

 

""I'm good with words and always did crossword puzzles,"" he said. ""I don't think I would make it on 'Jeopardy!' or anything that's too much trivia.""  

 

Clinton-Cirocco said her mom signed her up for the show. 

 

""It was a great experience - a lot of fun,"" she said, adding ""Wheel of Fortune"" is one of her favorite shows.
