And we have the first example of the week--but surely not the last--of the teammate who doesn't know not trusting the one who does and talks them into burning a lifeline.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $25K Julia Roberts met her husband, cameraman Daniel Moder, on the set of what film?

I'm curious if they spelled yuan for their PAF.
IIRC, you pronounced the Chinese yuan the same as the South Korean won.

$8K: I'm also stuck between ligament and tendon. This is really not the best quesion to ATA on, but I'd do it anyway.
$25K: "Notting Hill" went too far back to be the right answer. PAF.
$50K: Before the choices came up, I yelled out bergamot. This was a $500,000 question many years ago.
$50K #2: Haven't we also had a question before that involved the Greek root "onych", which means nail?

The only reason I know this is because elwing watches "So You Think You Can Dance?" and they have had some crunk music and some "crunkers" (a particular dance style, apparently).BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$4K Originating in the South, “crunk” is a loud, rowdy style of what music?

Adam mentioned the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and I was afraid he was going to convince Marla to go with that answer.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$8K To test a patient’s patellar reflex, a doctor typically makes the knee “jerk” by tapping what type of tissue/

I would have had no idea, so it's time to break out a lifeline. This seems like something a NYC audience might know, so let's ask them.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25K Julia Roberts met her husband, cameraman Daniel Moder, on the set of what film?

Is it my imagination or did the questions suddenly take a jump in the level of difficulty at $25K? All I know about Earl Gray tea is that Jean-Luc Picard likes it hot. 50/50 won't help so it's time to PAF.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$50K Earl Gray tea gets its distinctive flavor from the oil of what citrus fruit?

There was an interesting exchange between the two - Adam thought it was "cleft chin" - that's what his gut told him. Marla's gut, however, had a different opinion. He gave in rather quickly, demonstrating that she's the dominant member of this couple. Of course in the end it didn't matter since both were wrong.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$50K “Eponychium” is the scientific name for a what?

Adam’s gut says cleft chin. Marla believes it’s eardrum.
Adam says he will go with Marla since she is the reason they are on the show at all.
Adam and Marla leave with $25K.
As for me, had this been the question, I'd have had to go with a lifeline. There doesn't seem to be anything in the word that provides a hint - I kept seeing the word "eponym", but that has no relation (that I can see) to the meaning of this word. So STQ.

I agree. I can see the guy's face who was in the hot seat but can't get any farther.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:

I remember it as a PTBAM question, in reverse ("Oil of Bergamot is in which of the following?" or something like that). IIRC, it was the player's last question, too. I could be wrong on both counts. Wouldn't be the first time.ne1410s wrote:I agree. I can see the guy's face who was in the hot seat but can't get any farther.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:
