But in addition to displaying superior skill with the buzzer, the Toronto-based phenom has had to prepare for another challenge that can get harder with each win: coming up with engaging anecdotes for each TV episode.
"I didn't watch Ken's run all the way through as a kid because I was like, five, six years old when it was happening but I'm sure that he must have really been scraping the bottom of the barrel by the end of it." In past episodes, Roach has regaled them with accounts of her first kiss, crashing her mom's car in a parking lot and being spat on at a comedy show.Roach lives in Toronto, but she has said on the show that she spent her childhood and part of her adolescence in Halifax, and has also lived in Calgary and Moncton, N.B.
"I did not want to go on, play one game and then my anecdote in that game is something where I feel like I'm gassing myself up and telling a story about something that feels boastful," she explained.
