Commercial

[Kazoo65]

OK, we're back to regular contestants.With both JTQ lifelines left from the last transcript, here I go.7-easy, I've seen the commercials.
8-really easy.
9-easy for me. When he thought the Virgin Islands were British, I KNEW he didn't think that was the correct answer-I guess he's never heard of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Then he was trying to figure out how the Danes would get to Oahu. Apparently he didn't learn any geography OR U.S. history. We didn't BUY the Panama Canal-we BUILT it.

I feel sorry for the close-up cameraman. He must been getting dizzy, moving the camera from side to side to track Eric's movements.
