Kate's boyfriend, Matt, gave her some advice for the show: "Don't sell out future Kate for present Kate." In other words, don't go home with a small amount of money when you could have life-changing money. Kate says she's in it for the $1 million.

Kate has $20,600 in her bank, with one Jump The Question left.


Question #7 * Sweet
A halved coconut has often appeared on the wrapper for what chocolate-covered candy bar?

A: Almond Joy B: Snickers
C: Baby Ruth D: Butterfinger

Answer/Value/Bank

A: Almond Joy
Question Value: $15,000

Kate runs over to hug Matt when the question value is revealed.


Question #8 * All in the Family
Which of these fruits is a member of the bromeliad family of plants?

A: Avocado B: Pineapple
C: Banana D: Coconut

For some reason, Kate thinks it's banana. This might be the $25,000 question, so she'd hate to jump that. But Kate does decide to Jump The Question.

Answer/Value/Bank

B: Pineapple
Question Value: $1,000
Bank: $35,600

Question #9 * Black & White
What is the only chess piece that always moves to a different color square than it started on?

A: Pawn B: Queen
C: Bishop D: Knight

Kate says the pawn just goes forward and back, so she's going to say pawn is the right answer, even though she doesn't play chess. (We see Matt covering his face with his hands as she says this.) Kate make pawn her final answer. She falls to $1,000.

-- Commercial Break --

Kate runs over to hug Matt when the question value is revealed.

Is this more of the increased interaction that was made possible by the elimination of the Hot Seat? It used to be a rule that contestants couldn't even turn around and look at their companion, much less make physical contact with them, until their game play was completed.

Something that will turn out to bite her in the end.

Well that's something that wasn't possible (or even allowed) with the Hot Seat.

Question #8 * All in the Family

She did the right thing using the lifeline.

Question #9 * Black & White
What is the only chess piece that always moves to a different color square than it started on?

A: Pawn B: Queen

Kate says the pawn just goes forward and back, so she's going to say pawn is the right answer, even though she doesn't play chess. (We see Matt covering his face with his hands as she says this.) Kate make pawn her final answer. She falls to $1,000.

Answer/Value/Bank

D: Knight
Question Value: unrevealed

You could see Matt agonizing over Kate's answer before she made the wrong answer. She is obviously not a chess player since she didn't know that the pawn moves diagonally (to the same color square) or two squares from its starting point (also to a same-color square).

Nihil obstat®.
