- Jennifer Love Hewitt is proposed and immediately challenged as too young.
- It is called a very 90s answer.
- Helen Hunt and a candidate rendered by the transcript as ‘Elizabeth’s true’ are proposed and rejected.
- Sandra Bullock is strongly endorsed, with Speed and While You Were Sleeping cited as making the timing feel natural.
- An objection says Dorothy is too small a role for an established movie star and uses Julia Roberts as an example of someone who would not have taken it.
