This story could also have been faux-tweeted, but I decided to give it the full blog-entry treatment. After all, this particular contestant wannabe was selected for a noteworthy reason. She was about to turn 30.
Honest. Seems that Vanna White is celebrating her thirtieth anniversary on Wheel of Fortune this year. So the show's producers invited a bunch of literal thirty-somethings to an audition in Maryland. One of them was our heroine Emily Darrell, the author of the linked story.
Sadly, Emily didn't make it to the second round of the audition. She did solve the DIAMOND EARRINGS puzzle, but that only left her wishing she could have won big on the show and bought the earrings for real. She does graciously observe that Vanna never seems to age, as several others have noted.
For now Emily will just have to try to write the next Hunger Games-ish series. Good luck with young adult fiction, Ms. Darrell.
