Tony Biagioli and Kim Gibson
Washington, DC
Law Students

They met over a game of shuffleboard, when Tony told Kim he was the Michael Jordan of shuffleboard, but she whipped him. Kim says she wants to go to her wedding not in a limo, but on a Vespa scooter. Brides.com heard about this, and they and Vespa are giving the couple a new scooter (and they bring out a red one -- driven by a guy in a tux and sunglasses -- to show everyone).

THE HORN SOUNDS. Tony and Kim will retun tomorrow to go for $16,000 with three lifelines remaining.

Boy, what a bunch of easy questions!

$2K-the hora is Israeli, the polka is Polish, the lambada is Latin American, so it has to be B-tarantella.

I'd love to see a photo of the bride in her wedding dress riding that Vespa scooter! That would be a sight to see-when my brother got married, he and his wife used a limo to get to and from the church.

Was it a Vespa limo?

Hmmm...did Meredith spill the beans on this one? Not that it wouldn't be easy anyway.

I haven't seen a dot-matrix printer in ages. I don't think they're common any longer.

TPTB ought to make the contestants answer a couple questions, at least, before they award them their extra special product placement bonus prize.
