Matt said that due to a short resume with just two jobs, he added a list of his past girlfriends and the outcome of their relationship to his resume. He got the interview and the job.

I guess the uniqueness was what did the trick.

Question 3 - level 7 - Prize Winners
The Orteig Prize, a $25,000 contest held by a New York hotel owner, was eventually won by what famous aviator?
A. Orville Wright B. Charles Lindbergh
C. Chuck Yeager D. Amelia Earhart

Matt hates doing this, but must jump. Sherri expressed hope that it is not the $15000

Answer and value

B. Charles Lindbergh
Value: $15K jumped
Bank: $3000

He jumped over the $25K question yesterday, so he's not going to have a very big bank.

Matt shows his current girlfriend Lily in the audience, and denies that she is listed on the resume.

That's because the outcome hasn't been determined yet.

Question 9 - Level 9 Brains and Beauty
Known more for her figure than her fashion, in 2010, what supermodel announced she will pen a fantasy novel titled "Modelland"?
A. Tyra Banks B. Kate Moss
C. Gisele Bundchen D. Heidi Klum

Spoiler

Matt says he has no idea, but decides to take a guess of A. Tyra Banks

Answer and value

A. Tyra Banks
Value: $100
Bank: $23600

No idea, so I'll ATA because they probably will.

Question 10 - Level 5 Sitcom Actresses
The 2010 TV series "Hot in Cleveland" stars actresses from all but which of these sitcoms?
A. Will & Grace B. Frasier
C. One Day at a Time D. Just Shoot Me

Spoiler

Matt thinks he can see people from A, B, and D being there but is not sure
says if Matt gets it right he sees a question worth $100,000
They wonder aloud how far Matt's luck can go
Matt decides to gamble on C, One Day at a time.

Answer and value

A. Will & Grace
Value: not shown
Bank: Matt left with $1000

Evidently his luck couldn't go any farther. As for me, the only person I associate with this show (which I've never seen) is Betty White. Time to JTQ.

In case you are wondering:

Spoiler

Hot in Cleveland stars Valerie Bertanelli, Jane Leeves, and Wendie Mallick, as well as Betty White. Obviously, I can not spell Valerie's last name. <g>

In case it ever is asked, Joe Jonas also appeared on the show as Valerie's son, who had the hots for Jane Leeves.

Do things usually move this slowly during guest host weeks? It seems like we haven't had as many questions as usual.

Question 3 - level 7 - Prize Winners
The Orteig Prize, a $25,000 contest held by a New York hotel owner, was eventually won by what famous aviator?
A. Orville Wright B. Charles Lindbergh
C. Chuck Yeager D. Amelia Earhart

I probably would have gone with Lindbergh, with a nagging worry that Orteig was a woman awarding a prize to another female.

Question 7 - Level 10 Name That Symphony
Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor is popularly known as what?
A. Pastoral Symphony B. Unfinished Symphony
C. New World Symphony D. Simple Symphony

I was surprised that this was considered the hardest one in the stack, with the answer being (IMO) the one most people would go for. I was expecting A or D to be right.

Question 9 - Level 9 Brains and Beauty
Known more for her figure than her fashion, in 2010, what supermodel announced she will pen a fantasy novel titled "Modelland"?
A. Tyra Banks B. Kate Moss
C. Gisele Bundchen D. Heidi Klum

Ugh. I'm so bad on celebrity questions. I didn't think it was Kate Moss, but any of the other three were plausible to me.

Question 10 - Level 5 Sitcom Actresses
The 2010 TV series "Hot in Cleveland" stars actresses from all but which of these sitcoms?
A. Will & Grace B. Frasier
C. One Day at a Time D. Just Shoot Me

It's too bad he missed this one. He knew Valerie Bertinelli was on 1DaaT, but didn't know she was on HiC. What messed him up, though, was the answers themselves. He saw Frasier (93-04), Just Shoot Me (97-03) and Will and Grace (98-06) as being from roughly the same era and One Day at a Time (75-84) as the old-timey odd duck. I wonder if he would have gone for it if the out of place answer was The Facts of Life (79-88) or Cheers (82-93), and the gap wasn't as wide.

I guess the uniqueness was what did the trick.

I'd like to know what kind of job it was. My guess is that the success of this kind of resume padding would be inversely proportional to the professionalism of the position.
