ATE on the last one-I know about "NASCAR Soul," because I've seen it at the bookstore. No clue on the other three, though.

If you relate "sciatic notch" to "sciatica," it's a gimme...

I've heard of C and D, so I'll Double Dip on A and B.

Another WE®. I guess with the end of the season in sight they're using locals.

No idea. I'll ATE and hope. If Jacobs doesn't come through I'll try the DD, making C and D my choices because neither one seems likely. And I'd go home with the $25K.

As if they don't do that all season long.

But, yeah, with this being the last week (i.e., the last taping day) they probably thought they were doing out-of-towners a favor by not inviting them to pay their own way to the show when there was a chance they wouldn't get their turn in the Hot Seat.

Being a fan of the "Chicken Soup" series, I immediately recognized C, and remembered A after a bit of thought. I would have guessed B from my living room, although in the hot seat, I can't say that I wouldn't have used a lifeline to double-check.
