Today, in TV watching with my mother:

I knew the guy who plays Detective Ryan on Castle was attractive, but I didn't realize he was smart too! Yet another game show, and boy, he trounced the opposition there with his trivia knowledge.

Also, in other shows: Admitting you voted for Trump is a good way to get voted off if it's one of those shows where your teammates vote you off. Better to claim you didn't vote at all, no matter how you voted. Never know what the other guys think! But meh, he didn't even understand the questions half the time.
