I'd love to see her do that some time. More of a dope slap, though.

I thought he might go for it - he eliminated all but A or B. If anyone from the advertising department at Wendy's watches the show he or she must be a little disheartened.

"-ova" was the first thing that came into my head and I probably would have gone with that answer.

Okay. Then can a contestant slap her when she tries pulling one of her fake-outs?

This reveals one drawback to the new Question 10 rules. Being able to say JTQ for a free pass and doubling your bank takes out the drama and also results in contestants, including this one, deciding to use the jump if they do not know the answer for a fact.

Well, it's a strategy play for the contestants, which partially compensates for the half-truth in stating how much the bank is for the first nine questions, when they can only walk away with half of that and the half-truth that "that money is yours" after answering the tenth question, when the safe haven is still only $25,000 if they answer one of the next questions incorrectly.

There's still a price to pay, since they're almost certainly going to wish for that JTQ in Round Two.

True of this fellow in particular, since he was one of the few who knew the answers to the top two unrandomized categories. This showed the potential to answer a $250K given something close to his wheelhouse.

I believe this is the first Classic Millionaire question that could be classified as current events/current pop culture. It seems like up to now they've all been tougher general knowledge questions.
