So far so good

500: easy

1,000: "teary-eyed" gives this one away

2,000: easy

3,000: A is the only Amish ritual of those four

5,000: easy

7,000: I know Steve Martin plays the banjo, so I go with B

10K: Kobe's the only beef of those four I've heard regarded as "internationally-prized," so I go with C.

20K: Amman is the capital of Jordan.

So I'd be facing 30K with all three lifelines intact.
