Answer

D: She has visited Venus ( 18 )

This was just painful. A very strong contestant, done in by the worst audience Durst-ing I've ever seen! (And I would've been Durst'ed right along with her)

Presumably the audience just leaned toward the least-fantastic choice, just like I would've.

Well, it was an obscure question about someone who's virtually unknown in the U.S. and who's just a little bit looney.

So, where does 82% voting for incorrect answers stand in the record of ATA performances?

$12,500 * Oft Confused
Which of the following movies stars Isla Fisher and not Amy Adams?

A: Confessions of a Shopoholic B: Sunshine Cleaning
C: Junebug D: Doubt

I know that Amy Adams was in B and D. I've never heard of C. I've heard of A, but I don't know who was in it. Margaret may not be of much help on the later questions, so I'll throw her a bone and call on her for this question.

No clue on this one. Ask the audience. Seeing their percentages, I don't think I would've risked it on B. Reading animals' minds is not that unusual. There's a guy who does that all the time on his own TV show. More than likely, I would've spent my last lifeline and Double Dipped on C and D.

So, where does 82% voting for incorrect answers stand in the record of ATA performances?

I don't know if it's a record, but the audience was 88% "wrong" on my glowing potato question.

[Kazoo65]

ATA on the actress Q-never heard of her.

$25K-I never heard of this, either. It may have been a headline story in TOKYO, but not in Kalamazoo! Hmmm, maybe Margaret would know-this sounds like a good subject for a comedy routine.

[ten96lt]

For 25K: I happened to read this in the "strange news" articles of where I get my news online. I also did an all nighter once to type a paper and had "Red Eye" on and they were making fun of the story when it was new.

[themanintheseersuckersuit]

I'll note that while the question was correct at the time it was taped. She is now the wife of a former Prime Minister of Japan.

[Jeemie]

Rough question for $25K.

Brutal, actually.

Be sure that Cory understands that once the big-screen TV comes into the living room the hockey games are over.

Which of the following movies stars Isla Fisher and not Amy Adams?

A: Confessions of a Shopoholic B: Sunshine Cleaning
C: Junebug D: Doubt

Answer

A: Confessions of a Shopoholic ( 21 )

Time for me to ATA; I wouldn't know either of these actors if I saw them - all I know is that Adams was in "Enchanted".
