Answers #4 & 5: Famous

"4) Would either of you equate "Crown" with the same rock-star attention you get with being, for lack of a better word, famous? (Even if only on a minor level)

5a) If 'yes', have you ever been in the position to handle "famous"?

5b) If 'no', what would you compare it to?"

I don't know if I would use "famous" to describe it. You'd be famous in the regards that people will know you when you win Crown, and they will try to get to know you better. What I think you are describing is being famous as a positive thing, as opposed to infamous.

Although it could be considered famous, I think it's be better described as "being under the microscope," since everything you do will be scrutinized. I think this especially true since I'll be Japanese. I know I make a point about it, but I think there will be issues, and I should expect them.

No, I have never really been in a position to handle "famous". Because of such, not sure how I would react to, or handle it. I'd like to think I'd be ok with it, but it's hard to imagine a position that you've never been in.
