Meredith says David may be the first person in the history of Millionaire to be playing for a new stoop. His current stoop is wood, and he wants to upgrade to stone or brick. He owes his wife Sharon, who is in the audience, a new stoop because of something he whispered in her ear 10 years ago, on her wedding day. They got married on the day the Mets had signed Mike Piazza, and he informed her of this during their wedding ceremony, he was so excited. So now, he owes her.

His category tree:

Chicken
LBJ
The Boy Who Lived
Final Resting Places
Five-Oh!
En Espanol (there's a tilde over the "n", but I can never remember the code for it, so...)
Snow White
Shred or Die
(Desserts)
(Keeping it Real)
('80s Music)
(You Got Served)
(Get Up and Go)
(Proper Attire)
(Kiss and Tell)

He's going for $8,000, and still has his PAF, ATE (AJ Jacobs) and DD available.

$8,000 (Shred or Die): Named for a common slang term, the Web site ShredOrDie.com prominently showcases which of these sports?
A. Horseracing B. Competitive cheerleading
C. Skateboarding D. Street hockey

David isn't sure, and chooses to DD (11). His first answer is correct.

Spoiler

C. Skateboarding (11)

$16,000 (Snow White): In the classic film "Snow Whte and the Seven Dwarfs," which of the dwarfs never talks?
A. Sleepy B. Dopey
C. Happy D. Sneezy

David chooses to ATE (10).

ATE Discussions

Meredith asks if AJ has kids (he has 3), then feeds him the question. AJ mentions that his kids have never watched "Snow White" since they're still in the "Barney" phase. He says he would guess Sleepy, "since he's asleep all the time" but it's just a guess, and he doesn't know.

David chooses to go with AJ, and guesses incorrectly, leaving with $1,000.

Well at least his round-trip train ticket was cheap.

When I saw the Snow White question was at the $16K level, my jaw dropped. When I saw the contestant used the ATE, it dropped further. When I saw that the "Expert" didn't know the answer either, I had to go to the first floor to retrieve it. Are classic Disney movies THAT much out of favor?

You can't possibly imagine how happy I would be if I got a question like that at $16K.

I would have been dopey, grumpy, and bashful.

Not much of a know-it-all now, are you, AJ? Man, you're starting to become like most of the other "experts" on this show: as worthless as tits on a bull. Bring back Ogi Ogas and Jay Thomas!

How long before skateboarding becomes a Summer Olympics event the way that snowboarding has for the Winter Olympics?

Just from the four names given it would make sense that Bashful would be the one who never spoke. And the expert can't come up with the right answer? Sheesh!®

Huh? Bashful wasn't even in the equation.

D'oh!!! I misread the responses - don't ask me how, but I saw "Dopey" and read "Bashful".

Okay, maybe it was correctly valued. I just mentioned this to our purchasing manager, who is around 30-ish, and she didn't know, either. She could name all the dwarfs, though, so there's hope.

I think Disney needs to bring the movie back from the vault. It seems that there's a new generation of kids and parents for whom it would be fresh.

They really are WWOQs when the correct answer is "E".
