Meredith says that Grace was "made for the show". She's been preparing for this since in the womb. Her mother played Trivial Pursuit with her father while she was in labor for three days. Grace has always been good with trivia; the happiest day of her mother's life was the day she beat her father and Grace's father in the same game of Trivial Pursuit.

D - November
$300 - Also known as the "extra point," the PAT or "point after touchdown" is a unit of scoring in what sport?

B - Vizine
C - Blistex
D - Preparation H
$1K - The word "semester" derives from a Latin word meaning what?
A - one week
B - six months
C - one year
D - six weeks
Grace says "six months", but in a hesitant tone. Meredith asks, "Final answer?" to which Grace replies, "Give me a moment. It's the $1000 question so it wouldn't be something totally random. She makes "B" her final answer.
$2K - Which of these cartoon catchphrases is typically associated with a feline character?
A - What's up, doc?
B - I yam what I yam.
C - Sufferin' succotash
D - Yabba dabba doo
Grace says that "Sufferin' succotash" is associated with Sylvester, the arch-nemesis of Tweety bird, and is a black and white cat. A cat is a feline, so Grace makes "C" her final answer.
$4K - A hematologist would most likely treat someone suffering from which of these ailments?
A - anemia
B - bone spurs
C - eczema
D - glaucoma
Grace says that anemia has to do with blood so hematologists deal with someone who has anemia.
Commercial break
Grace is a photojournalist who takes photos of the various university teams and she has the scars to prove it. Two years ago the football team was playing LSU and she took a ball to the face, and another time she got a cleat in the shoulder. Meredith asks if they stop the game when that happens. Grace said no because she's just a person on the sidelines.
$8K - Which of these movies depicts an American armed conflict that occurred most recently?
A - Jarhead
B - Platoon
C - Windtalkers
D - Flags of Our Fathers
Grace knows that "Flags of Our Fathers" was World War II and "Platoon" was Vietnam (mabye "ish"). She skips Windtalkers and goes on to A and says that it was about the first Gulf conflict, when she was a little kid. She can't imagine Windtalkers being any more recent than that. Grace asks Meredith to blink once for "A" and twice for "B". Meredith blinks many times. Grace makes "A" her final answer. Meredith indicates Grace is right by blinking once.
$16K - Traditiionally, a croque-monsieur sandwich served with an egg on top is called a what?
A - croque-oeuf
B - croque-confit
C - croque-garcon
D - croque-madame
Grace asks for the 50/50, which leaves B and D. She's glad she did that. She remembers that "oeuf" is "egg" (one of six words she remembers from French class). "Croque-madame" sounds like an actual thing while "croque-oeuf" didn't, so she makes "D" her final answer.
Commercial break
$25K - In 2007, what country's president claimed discrimination when FIFA banned international soccer matches above an altitude of 8,200 feet?
A - South Africa
B - Greece
C - Bolivia
D - Pakistan
Meredith says, "Humpf" and Grace says, "Exactly." Grace says this is her worst nightmare to get a sports question and not know it. She wants to think it out. It's really just a geography question. Meredith asks if Grace knows geography; Grace answers, "I like to think so. I can find Arkansas." Meredith reminds Grace of her lifelines and Grace decides to ask the audience.
ATA results:
A - 7%
B - 13%
C - 65%
D - 15%
Grace says that's a good number assuming it's correct. If not, it's deceptive and rude. She said to the audience when they walked in that they were very attractive and intelligent and they evidently feel confident. Bolivia was one of the two she had it narrowed down to. She makes that her final answer. Meredith pulls the fake-out by starting out, "No, they were not...deceptive."
