Uh-oh! It's often not a good sign when a contestant is revealed to have been born outside of the U.S.

Looks like a pretty good stack for me. But Owen, on the other hand, could be in for an early exit. Disney, American Teens, and Don Rickles will more than likely force him to use lifelines.

So far so good for me.

I'm self-confident enough to say that it took me a moment to get the $200 question. I totally locked onto the notion of sports ("go out and kick some butt').

I thought the same thing. Turning off the TV and kicking butt outside.

D: Pluto ( 5 )

He's from England, so that may explain why he didn't know this, but surely since he has children he might be familiar with Disney characters.
