This week’s contestant, Sascha Rothchild, choked on question one but redeemed herself on the next two to take home the DVD of Rhoda: Season One starring Valerie Harper.

Rothchild is the author of How to Get Divorced by 30: My Misguided Attempt at a Starter Marriage, a tongue and cheek and funny, yet practical memoir. While she’s not against marriage following her failed experience at the institution, she did tell us after winning the Pop Culture IQ that she is FOR divorce if you’re not happily married.

She advises against marrying for money but says that if you do choose to do so don’t sign a prenup because “then you’re just a moron.”

She also told us that she has a dog that she must walk five times a day.
