Kate says she knows that Kim-Jong-Il is “Dear Leader.” She thinks she had heard the term “Benevolent Communicator” before. She says it’s definitely not Selfless Peer or Dynamic Uplifter since she has never heard them before. She then says she would go with Benevolent Communicator.

Jennifer says she is going to take a chance and makes “A. Benevolent Communicator” her final answer.

Jennifer leaves with $5K.

I see that the question writers are still producing WWOQs.  I wonder if the $25K could be Googled.  I highly doubt any of the 3 lifelines that are now available would have helped me answer this one.

And our new expert starts off the week with a dursting.

But don't worry, Kate, Meredith won't remember a thing about it when she thanks you for being a great expert at the end of the week.
