Bartender
A infobox on the screen says that Gina is "a bartender who can drink beer with her feet." Rather than pursue this fascinating line of dialogue, Gina goes straight for the questions.

$300 - Rice Krispies Treats are a classic snack made by mixing melted butter and marshmallows with several cups of what?
A - ice cream
B - popcorn
C - licorice
D - cereal
Gina loves this question because it's so easy. But then she almost llamas by saying "C" then catching herself as the audience gasps. She says "My bad!" and repeats "Cereal, cereal, cereal, cereal, D - cereal" several times before making it her final answer.

Gina has no idea so she's going to have to ask the audience.
ATA results:
A - 1%
B - 16%
C - 17%
D - 66%
Gina says that's pretty good and makes that her final answer.
$4K - In 2007, Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's historic home run record while playing for what Major League Baseball team?
A - San Francisco Giants
B - Seattle Mariners
C - Los Angeles Dodgers
D - Oakland Athletics
Gina says, "Sports, no, not at all." But she thinks she knows this one. And she does.
Commercial break
Gina is a game show junkie and loves them in general. She was on a version of Trivial Pursuit with Wink Martindale. She placed third out of nine and won a Shop-vac and $200 worth of leotards and sports bras.
$8K - Also called a longshoreman, which of these job titles refers to someone who loads and unloads ships?
A - crocker
B - wainwright
C - hayward
D - stevedore
Gina has a pretty good idea but wants to use the 50/50 anyway. A and D are the remaining choices. Gina's answer is still there - Meredith asks but it takes a few moments for Gina to reply. She makes "D" her final answer since that's the one she was considering. After Meredith tells her she's right, Gina says, "It's much harder when you're in the Hot Seat."
$16K - Before joining "The View" in 2007, comedian Sherri Shepherd played a sassy cop on what sitcom?
A - Two and a Half Men
B - Everybody Loves Raymond
C - The King of Queens
D - According to Jim
Gina loves The View and did so when Meredith was on the show. Meredith jokes that the show hasn't been the same since, then notes that it went up in the ratings after she left. She's over that now, she says, as the audience laughs. Gina had never seen Sherri Shepherd before her stint on "The View" so Gina uses her phone-a-friend lifeline. She has "the perfect lifeline" for this question, and asks to call her friend Angie. Gina reads the question then the answers (in the order A-C-B-D). Angie asks her to repeat the question and Gina does, running out of time before Angie can answer. Gina told her AP that pop culture wasn't her strongest suit. She has no idea and decides to walk away with her $8K.

I wish they had discussed this - perhaps they might have if Gina had stayed in the Hot Seat longer.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Gina Steimle

I had no idea that "The View" had added yet another co-host. However even though I have no idea who Sherri Shepherd is, I can figure this one out. "Everybody Loves Raymond" is the only one of the four shows that has a police officer as a recurring character (Ray's brother Robert), so it makes sense that that would be the right answer.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$16K - Before joining "The View" in 2007, comedian Sherri Shepherd played a sassy cop on what sitcom?
