Fixed.

No wonder the guy used a lifeline. Here is where 50/50 then double-dip is useful.

Huh, huh, huh! Huh, huh, huh! Huh, huh, huh! Huh, huh, huh! Huh, huh, huh!

Boney!

Unless you're Bob Juch, being a sweepstakes winner who doesn't have to go through the audition process is a guarantee that you're going to win only $1,000. I can tell already that this guy is gonna make me vomit.

Back-to-back stacks with Lenin questions?

Nihil obstat® for me so far. I'll be surprised if this contestant makes it past $16,000.

I'm looking forward to see how he ends up doing - and if TPTB will repeat this.

OK, he's already used a lifeline; this doesn't bode well.

So far, so good for me.

Bob did not win a sweepstakes! He won a competition of trivia skill, answering some of the same questions being asked on the show.

A totally different--and infinitely better--process!

Nice work by 34% of the audience there.

The Montana time zone almost makes sense, but aren't the Alabama and Missouri time zones the same?

Yes. Both are on Central time.

There are specific definitions in the hobby. A sweepstakes is a random drawing, no skill attached. A contest is skill-based, whether trivia or recipe or puzzle-solving (as with the current "Angels and Demons" promotion) or whatever. By law, you don't have to purchase a product or have anything to do with the sponsor to enter a sweepstakes. A contest can require you to send in a product label or otherwise show you've purchased the sponsor's wares.

I could see someone thinking "mountain" time zone could be named after "Montana", if they didn't realize that there is an "Alaskan" time zone.

I cannot see someone looking at that and saying, it's definitely the "Missouri" time zone...eastern, central, mountain and Missouri, right?
