Kathleen is very proud of what she does, recently working in hospice care helping people navigate issues associated with end of life. She really wants to help people. Kathleen has $43,000 in her bank and one JTQ lifeline.



Question #6 (Wingman Warrior)
When accosted in Paris, what frail expatriate writer is said to have hidden behind his more imposing friend, shouting "Deal with him, Hemingway"?
A - Ezra Pound
B - James Joyce
C - Allen Ginsberg
D - E.E. Cummings

Kathleen doesn't know this right away and she's concerned about guessing right away. It sounds like someone older than Hemingway since he's frail. She decides to use her last lifeline and jump the question.

Question #9 (No Pain No Gain)

A - treadmill
B - rowing machine
C - stationary bike
D - ab roller

Again Kathleen says she doesn't know this straight out and she can't figure out a way to get to the answer. Her children (Charlie and Maya) sent her with some rules; her daughter's rule was "trust yourself because you're very smart but don't get cocky if you get an answer right." Her son's rule was was "if you have used up all your lifelines and you don't know the answer, walk away." Kathleen is going to take Charlie's advice.
