A: Pocahontas B: Geronimo
C: Sacagawea D: Squanto

Karolina doesn't think it's Sacagawea or Geronimo. Something is pulling her towards Pocahontas, but she decides to walk away with her bank of $53,600.

Answer

A: Pocahontas

Even assuming that her hunch was worthless, taking a one in four guess here would have given Karolina an expected value of $81,250, instead of the $53,600 she walked away with. (Plus a one in four chance of looking at the $500K question, of course.)

[lv42day]

yes, Marley, but chances are that was 28,600 dollars she really did not want to lose. In this kind of economy, I think people are more reluctant to gamble, and I think, at least in part, for that reason TPTB at WWTBAM changed the rules to make it more enticing to gamble.

[goongas]

The expected value calculations IMHO are only practical when you have repeated attempts at the question, not just one. I do think though this season so far we have seen more contestants gamble than in previous seasons. Last season it seemed like contestant after contestant walked with 15K.
