End of today's show, no carryover or 1-question contestant.

This must be the most money ever won on the show by a person who didn't know any of the answers, right?

Four questions, one ATA, two jumps, one walk = $12,500.

Her recurring response was that she could hardly be expected to know the answers because she was too young. Okay, whatever.

No, not "whatever," after the big buildup Meredith gave her for being an 18-year-old getting on the show. Maybe Hannah should have ignored her mother's orders until she had another few years of life experience.

Maybe this contestant was beyond the standard Grumble.

Here is video of her go if you'd like to see it firsthand.

There is only one word for her getting $12,500. and Joann getting $25,000. - Pathetic.

I'd ATA on this one and hope they know it - I might end up having to JTQ if the numbers don't look good.

What can I say? This was a sad counterpoint to Joann's run.

Not a real game changer with more strategy, unpredictability, excitement and tension?

Haven't you ever heard of the law of conservation of lifelines - the universe is now in balance.
