What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLeven Rambin, Glimmer from the first Hunger Games, tells E! News she's pondering leaving Hollywood after two decades, and she calls herself a failed star.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwenty years of auditions, Vera. Most people can't keep a gym membership that long.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorExactly, and that is why I'm rating this a seven on the BBN Drama Index.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA seven?
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne point for the arena, one for the archery, and five for how loudly I want to hug her. The last is for the fandom, who will not allow this.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShe survived a fictional death match and a real casting call. I'd let her pick the exit.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, but if she quits, I'm sending a fruit basket to the whole district.
