The vote isn’t definite enough, so Miranda asks her +1.

+1

Miranda’s +1 is her friend from college, Derek. They greet each other with “War Eagle!” Derek thinks it’s a lunar eclipse because eclipse almost rhymes with shellfish. That’s no help, so Miranda uses her third lifeline.

50/50

50/50 leaves a Friday the 13th and the letter “r.”
Miranda goes with the audience’s answer. (Remember that she’s a microbiologist.)

Answer

B: The letter “r”

3K: Know its not the Ramonas. Pretty sure its not Estro-Genesis. ATA

[Coupon Boy]

3k: ATA

5k: Easy one if you take your time working it out. Months with Friday the 13th vary from year to year, a lunar eclipse only takes place once every two years or so, and it would make little sense to only have shellfish in 7 months that are completely scattered throughout the year. May, June, July and August are the only months not containing an R, and they're all consecutive. B, final answer.

7k: +1

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: easy

3,000: I know "Back in Black" is an AC/DC song, so I go with C

5,000: It takes a little bit to figure out, but I got it.

7,000: I've heard of Prescott Bush, so I go with C.

I'd be facing 10K with all three lifelines left.
