Kevin has banked $28,600, with his ATA lifeline remaining. Sherri loves him because he is an avid watcher of "The View."

Kevin once performed naked in a play ("Naked Boys Singing" in Provincetown) that his mom attended. She's been very supportive, attending all the shows he's been in since he was in high school. She liked this one so much that she came back a second time.

Bump.

2nd and third answers had significant enough spikes...should have given the contestant pause.

Those two choices got pretty much what could be expected from random WAGs. What I didn't understand was what made the audience so certain it wasn't Sandra Bullock.

I have a hard time considering anything less than 30% as significant. Otherwise, it just looks like guessing to me. 55% is by no means a ringing endorsement, but I think that's usually enough to go on.
