passport

his final answer.

A. Shark cage
Eddo leaves with $1K.

Eddo must not have heard about Diana Nyad, and he missed the face mask clue. At least he didn't say Castro bodysuit or dolphin escort.

So far, so good.

But a dolphin escort would have been really cool!

Seriously, though, can we consider the jellyfish-proof face mask a clue? Couldn't their tentacles slip through the bars of a shark cage?

In his banter, Eddo called himself a real Slumdog Millionaire, because he saw that film while working for a charitable organization in Africa. I'm sure he was doing good work, but he seems to have missed every significant plot point of that movie.

Our local affiliate messed up - although it was shown on the DVR program guide as a "new" show, the station aired last Monday's episode again (the one with JC Smith).

I'd JTQ.

So far so good.

How was Diana Nyad supposed to carry a passport while swimming????????? This guy obviously was not paying attention to the news early last month. I wonder if the audience would have been able to help him with that one if he hadn't used it on the previous question.

This was an easy stack for me.

How about in the boat with the support crew that accompanied her the whole way?
