A - Brad Pitt
B - Tom Cruise
C - Bruce Willis
D - George Clooney

Robyn doesn't know and thinks that the expert might, so she decides to ask Margaret Cho. The clock stops with 20
seconds.

ATE conversation

Meredith predicts that Margaret will know this right off. After a few moments of
contemplating Margaret says that she's surprised she doesn't know this but her guess is B just because he seems that he would hang out with a pig. Robyn says that it makes sense to her. Brad Pitt is too gorgeous to have a pig. Bruce is the only one likely to have a pig.

Robyn says that she was divided between two answers so she's going to use her Double Dip, stopping the clock at 11 seconds.

DD results

Robyn's first answer is C, but that isn't correct. The clock starts again. She says that she seems to remember hearing that D had a pig so she makes that her second final answer. Meredith says that it was a pot-bellied pig.

D - George Clooney

It's usually not a good sign when the contestant needs to ATA on the $1k question.

I'd ATA on $10K. Despite reading People magazine every week, this fact seems to have escaped my brain.


It will be interesting to see how she handles the $15K question tomorrow, without lifelines. FTR, the answer is

I'd be using ATA here because I have no idea. I hope the audience does. And I thought that Margaret was supposed to be an "expert" on pop culture and celebrities.

So I was wrong. How long before we see Robyn again?

So I was wrong. How long before we see Robyn again?
