With 25 seconds left, Christine decides to Ask The Expert. Today's expert is Jeff Corwin, biologist, TV host
and author of the book "100 Heartbeats".
Jeff: He was a congressman--
Christine: I know Obama is from Illinois, so that's what I was kind of going with. But I don't know if that would be too obvious.
Jeff: Ohio, Michigan-- This would be--a total guess. I guess you can kind of go--swing one way and say well, you know, if he's from Illinois, you know, Barack Obama was from Illinois. I think he's still from Illinois. So, there's some logic there. But, I don't know, I think that's kind of a set-up! But, then again, I'm usually very paranoid. Michigan--I don't think he'd pick anyone from Michigan, with their track record with the whole industries there. Ahhh, Pennsylvania, Ohio--I don't know, I'm thinking, maybe, Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Meredith: You have no idea, right?
Jeff holds his book in front of the Skype camera, again, and leafs through it.
Meredith: Jeff, put up the book! When in doubt--
Jeff: Ohio, to my death!
Meredith: No, no problem!
Christine has no idea and she doesn't want to Double Dip. She walks away with $12,500.
