Fellow contestants got a different impression. "The guy next to me was so nervous, he said, 'You go to Harvard? You only tell me this now!?!'' Besu said.
She and a big group of friends plan to watch the show tonight in a common room in Currier House, with which she is affiliated.
"I've been calling everyone I've known since elementary school" to encourage them to watch the show," Besu said. She also has many family members taping the episode.
Besu said she remembers watching the show as a little girl with her grandfather. "It's basically how she learned English," she quipped, "because we are originally Cuban."
Friends of the contestant described the experience as fitting.
"Suzy is definitely 'Wheel of Fortune' material," said Jamil K. Shamasdin '01, "She's very much a people person, and very likeable."
Besu said she did not become nervous until the cameras started filming. She said her nervousness made her unusually calm.
