  Title: Shelby Dressel
  Passage: Shelby Kathleen Dressel (born October 25, 1990 ) is an American Country Singer-Songwriter from Avon Park, Florida, who made the top 46 on the ninth season of American Idol.  In describing Dressel's ambitions, Rachel Pleasant Chambliss of Lakeland, Florida's "The Ledger" wrote, "At 19, Shelby Dressel still has a lot of things to figure out.  Singing isn't one of them.  She's been singing her whole life, and there's not a single doubt in her mind that singing is what she wants to do for a living."  Dressel was born with an undeveloped 7th cranial nerve, leaving the right side of her face paralyzed.  Overcoming this condition, Dressel had a successful initial audition for American Idol in Orlando, Florida.

  Title: Kay Thomson
  Passage: Kay Thomson (born February 18, 1964) is a Canadian former figure skater who competed in ladies' singles.  She is the 1981 Prize of Moscow News champion, the 1983 Skate Canada International silver medalist (behind that years Olympic and World Champion Katarina Witt), and a three-time Canadian national champion.  Her rise to dominance of Canadian ladies figure skating was unexpected as young phenom Tracy Wainmann had been expected to dominate Canadian ladies skating throughout this quadrennial, and beyond, but Thomson dethroned Wainmann at the 1982 Canadian Championships, and was only challenged by rising future superstar Elizabeth Manley thereafter as Wainmann fell off the map for a few years with personal issues and a growth spurt.  She represented Canada at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, placing 12th, and at three World Championships, achieving her best result, fifth, in 1984 (Ottawa).  At this event she had perhaps her best shot ever of a world podium finish in a heavily weakened post Olympic field (missing amongst other Rosalynn Sumners, Tiffany Chin, Claudia Leistner, and Elena Vodorezova) and a respectable initial finish in compulsory figures which were never her strength, but a turn between her triple lutz-double toe combination in the short, and a miss on her triple flip in the long, was enough to keep her behind silver medalist Anna Kondrashova, bronze medalist Elaine Zayak, and 4th place finisher Kira Ivanova.  The pro Canadian crowd however were not fully convinced, and booed the marks of each of Kondrashova, Ivanova, and young Japanese phenom Midori Ito (who was scored 4th best in the long program phase despite a fall and several glaring miscues), feeling Thomson and teammate Elizabeth Manley were unfairly scored.  At the post event press conference Kondrashova would apologize to the fans for having not performed better, despite her silver medal.
