After a July 4 fireworks show, her husband (who is in the audience) did a favor to the community by gathering leftover fireworks junk and stuffing it in their trash can. Then they discovered their garage on fire and their car, with a full tank, blown up.

Ouch!

Question 3 - Classic Characters

A. David Bear B. Edward Bear
C. Alfred Bear D. William Bear

JTQ #1

Answer and value

B. Edward Bear
Value: $2000 skipped
Bank: $5100

This woman had a good feel for game strategy - her comment about this not being "good for the audience" shows that. I wouldn't have had any idea, so JTQ also.

Question 5 - Video Vixens
Once labeled "the Aerosmith girl," Alicia Silverstone starred in the music videos for all but which of these Aerosmith hits?
A. Cryin' B. Amazing
C. Livin' on the Edge D. Crazy

ATA

A-8% B-18% C-54% D-20%

Answer and value

C. Livin' on the Edge
Value: $15000
Bank: $27100

Again, good game strategy, both on deciding to use the ATA and in analyzing the results. As for me, I'd ATA as well.

Question 7 - OMG TV
"Chuck and Blair's Limo Lust" was an entry on Us Magazine list of the "Top 10 OMG Moments!" on what TV drama?
A. Desperate Housewives B. True Blood
C. Dexter D. Gossip Girl

JTQ #2

Answer and value

D. Gossip Girl
Value: $1000
Bank: $27600

Same for me - I don't watch any of those shows or have any idea who Chuck and Blair are.

Question 8 - Rock Lore
According to legend, the massive rock formations flanking the Strait of Gibraltar were "pillars" holsted into place by whom?
A. Hercules B. Poseidon
C. Zeus D. Apollo

Answer and value

A. Hercules
Value: Not shown
Bank: Denise left with $1000

And her husband was right. It's a shame because Denise played well. I figured most people had heard of the Pillars of Hercules.
