I was just curious if you were trying to use the Dope’s well known reality TV bias against itself.

Kim Kardashian (West) is married to Kanye and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney were married to Lamar Odom and has kids with Scott Disick, respectively.

DQs:

Do you have an IMDB page?  
Does your first name start with a K?  
Are you regularly on TV?

(I don’t play this game very often, so if I miss a trick or break a rule of etiquette, please feel free to let me know.)
