Time is up. Daniel returns tomorrow with $93500 banked and the $250K next

Help request... If anyone can add more information about the contestant and the discussion that could help. I had a cable box glitch and do not have the show recorded.

Daniel said he hoped to start a boarding school for homeless kids.

BTW, Snaxx, if your cable box glitched, how did you transcribe all that you did?

I watched off another TV near work during lunch and captured screen shots of the questions. I wrote down the $$ values and think I got all them right; I was corrected on a couple the last time.

Wow. Assuming the audience could help with the baby bump question I've got $93,600 in the bank with both jumps remaining. I'd probably have used one on the James Dean question. I don't think I've seen another stack this season that I could have said that with.

Too bad the player didn't think about (or hadn't heard of) "Old Nick." --Bob

There's a pretty good chance this show's still on my DVR. I'll double-check it and fill in the missing info this afternoon.

I dimly remember some references to the devil as "Old Nick," so that would be my guess. Let's pretend I went ahead with it.

I guess Daniel wasn't familiar with "Old Nick" as an epithet for Satan.

Bonus fun fact: Some say Pumpernickel bread is named from the German for "bread that makes the Devil fart."
