COMMERCIAL BREAK

Bunny's son Jody is in the audience. She has 2 kids, 3 grandkids, 2 great-grandchildren, and she and her husband Stan have been married 50 years.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Bunny's son Jody's not surprised that his Mom is doing so well. Bunny uses a golf cart to get around her community, but she wants to "pimp out" her ride to look like either a 57 black and yellow Ford Fairlane or a Rolls Royce.

A: The Scream B: Nighthawks
C: Christina's World D: Water Lilies

Bunny chooses to ATE with 36 seconds left.

Lynn: I don't think it's "The Scream". It would have to be one of the other three. I'm almost sure it's not "The Scream," but I just don't know, Bunny. I'm going to guess, and just know that this is a guess. I'm guessing, guessing it's either "Nighthawks" or "Water Lilies."

Meredith: Do you have numbers on that? Maybe a percentage?

Lynn: Maybe 50/50. If I had to guess, I would guess "Water Lilies" but I'm in no way sure. If you have another one, I'd use it.

Bunny elects to use the DD, with 33 seconds left.
Spoiler
Bunny's first guess is "Water Lilies," which is not correct. Her second guess is "Nighthawks," which is also wrong. Bunny leaves with $25,000.
Spoiler
A: The Scream

Hmm...Based on Lyndsay's and Bunny's experiences (and with all due respect to Lynn, who is obviously wicked smart under normal circumstances), obviously the way to play with her in the future, should the opportunity ever come up for anyone, is to take the answer she says it ISN'T. I feel really bad for her (and the contestants).

Hasn't the Apgar score question been asked before? I seem to remember it from somewhere.

OK until the movie question-ATA for me. I didn't see the movie.

The $50K would have been my next problem. I'd PAF a Googler here.

Hmm. Government, The Civil War, and The Legal System sound good to me.

And Meredith took Bunny's statement about chickening out from an audition and then deciding to audition again to ask, "So I'm number one on your Bucket List?"

It's not about you, Meredith! :roll:

With ATA being nearly worthless at this level, and Asking this Expert worthless based on previous results, I would Double Dip and likely have a heart attack as my first choice (Christina's World) is wrong.

I wonder if Lyn Payne was selected to do more ATE work after this day?

Well, maybe we'll finally found out what that testing category is all about. 2008 movies... ugh! The legal system and the Civil War... more rough patches for me.

$500: Uh-oh! I've never heard of the word "knell". ATA.

$2K: Uh-oh #2! Never heard of this song. Expert, please.

$4K: Uh-oh #3! Never heard of purling. PAF.

$16K: I did not see the latest Indiana Jones film. I want to see it, but I haven't seen it. Double Dip won't do much for me, so I'm gonna make an early exit at $8,000. <grumble>®

It really is too bad, cuz I would've nailed the $25K and $50K questions.
