“I was the captain! Well, that means that you go up first and I realized that the little buzzer was a little high. So, when everyone was sort of busy doing other things, I went over and I was practicing with the buzzer, so that I could be fast. But I was practicing at home with Sadie and Cash!” she added, referencing her daughter and son, who thought she would be awful at the game. “We don’t have a buzzer on our counter in the kitchen, every time I would do it, I kept going ‘Bzzz, bzzz!’ You know, and Cash was like, ‘You know you can’t do that when you come on the show?”
In a promo for the current season, Rena Sofer can be seen answering the question: “Name something your mate’s booty has in common with the basketball.” Her response? “It bounces.”
