Woohoo! I played using my personal info and it said I was Kelly Taylor from Beverly Hills 90210. Wow, I couldnā€™t be happier than having them think I am Jennie Garth. Althought i did say ā€œyesā€ when asked if I was from the midwest. I donā€™t think California has moved that far has it? ---

Wow, this is clever. It guessed both my characters correct. The second one took a long time, though. It wasnā€™t easy, but I won this time.

It guessed all of my six sitcom characters. Wow. But then I tried to do a dictatorā€”Saddam Hussein, but didnā€™t guess it. Maybe I answered questions wrong; I donā€™t know a lot about him. Is he a dictator or a tyrant? Or considered both?
