What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow to Hollywood. E! News reports Ryan Phillippe has described a wild night on his two thousand six Oscars date with Reese Witherspoon.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us live is reality star and candle entrepreneur Octavia Lindqvist. Octavia, welcome to the program.
Octavia LindqvistThank you, Gloria. I'm so happy to be here, and I brought a candle, because the lighting in this room is a crime.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou have views on Oscars nights. Phillippe says he never meant to be starstruck and ended up with a wild evening anyway.
Octavia LindqvistI think everyone gets starstruck. I once froze in front of a very famous scented wax display, and I have never recovered.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWax display. Noted. Tell us about your new project.
Octavia LindqvistIt's called Thermostat Wars. Six couples share one house and one dial, and the winner gets to be cold forever.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have negotiated with ambassadors, and that sounds harder. Does the show have a villain?
Octavia LindqvistYes, the dial. It has never once been honest with anyone. I'm trying to light this, one second.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me ask you the hard one. You've said you attended the Oscars in person. Were you in the building?
Octavia LindqvistTechnically I was nearby. Very nearby. In the general Los Angeles feeling of it all.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Were you in the building?
Octavia LindqvistTechnically I was in the parking structure. Technically it was a different parking structure. Across the street.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAcross the street.
Octavia LindqvistFine. I watched on my phone in a parked car in Tulsa. The wildest part was the cupholder.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTulsa is not nearby. I have been to Tulsa, and I was not asked to leave.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. One word each. Best Oscars snack?
Octavia LindqvistPretzels, because they are the only thing at a party that holds itself together.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat was more than one word. Worst date idea?
Octavia LindqvistA candle store at closing time. Trust me.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal plug, Octavia, and tell us how far away you really are tonight.
Octavia LindqvistThermostat Wars premieres soon, and technically I am in Oklahoma. Possibly Kansas. The candle still won't light.
