$4K “New Ameryka” is the title of a 2008 R&B album by an artist with what last name?
A. Badu
B. Blige
C. Keys
D. Knowles
Normally I wouldn't bother pointing out a typo, but this one is important: the name of the album is "New Amerykah", a big clue if (like me) you don't listen to pop music, but have noticed the idiosyncratic spelling of Erykah Badu's first name.

I don't think this show is available online. That's why we try to capture as much of the essence of the show as possible in the transcripts; it's the next best thing to watching. And the only option, for some.

That's what I assumed, but I thought if anyone would know otherwise, it'd be you guys. Thanks. :)

I've watched this episode several times now, and because future transcripts will have this information, here's the time remaining on the clock for each of Sally's questions:

1 ($100): 7 s
2 ($200): 9 s
3 ($300): 9 s
4 ($500): 5 s
5 ($1k): 9 s
6 ($2k): 18 s
7 ($4k): 17 s (1-ata at 22 s)
8 ($8k): 9 s (2-ate at 14 s)
9 ($16k): 5 s (3-paf at 16 s, 4-dd at 10 s)
10 ($25k): 0 s (walked with $16k)

Also, here's the definitive answer to the issue with the menu item for question 5:

It did say "Vegatables" when the topic menu was first displayed. However, when subsequently displayed, the item read "Vocabulary". In my database, I'll be classifying it as "Vocabulary" as this is an obvious correction given the question.
