"I knew all the questions; they were pretty easy, but I wanted to make sure I had them right," he said. "I was excited I made it up to $10,000, and I was glad I didn't have to use any lifelines. The bad thing is I didn't have a phone-a-friend, which comes into play later. But it was an enjoyable experience, and it was great being there."

Since TPTB took away the PAF we have yet to see an upper tier question. It is making for an intensely lame show.

I think Andy can reach the upper tier. He ought to be well prepared for the $100K "Ohio" question.
