Ok, so this isn't actually a phone call, but it's still crazy.

My station is currently accepting applications for a weight-loss challenge. We're picking three viewers that will be paired up with one of three on-air talent for three months of exercising, diet and tracking their progress.

Today, one of the applicants stopped by the station ... with a platter of desserts. On the platter was a note that read: "15 more reasons you should choose me." She's supposed to come back tomorrow with biscuits.

Bribery or a coy plan to fatten up her potential competitor?
