I am willing to state categorically and defend to my dying day that Debbie Rothschild who was on the show yeserday-is the most beautiful woman who has ever appeared on the show, or will appear in the future. I was hoping for a Ken Jennings style run for her.

$4000 What Hollywood cowboy rode a horse named Trigger?
A. Gene Autry B. Roy Rogers
C. Will Rogers D. Hopalong Cassidy

I've rode with everyone from Roy Rogers, to Will Rogers, to Kenny Rogers, and I never forget a horse's as... uh, name.

$8000 What sport is believed to have first been played by British army officers using corks and cigar-box lids
A. Badminton B. Volleyball
C. Table tennis D. Handball

I believe that if you watch ESPN2 really, really late at night, you can still catch these thrilling cork and cigar box battles between the World's Strongest Man contests and the replays of the Sammy Farha/Chris Moneymaker showdown in the 2003 World Series of Poker.

$16,000- Commonly served in sushi restaurants, unagi is what type of seafood?
A. Eel B. Octopus
C. Crab D. Sea urchin

IS it just me, or have there been a lot of disgusting food questions lately? I sure hope this delicacy isn't wrapped in some other poor beast's stomach lining.

$25,000- In August 2004, Edvard Munch's famous painting "The Scream" was stolen from a museum in what European city?
A. Vienna B. Amsterdam
C. Berlin D. Oslo


ATA:
A. Vienna 12%
B. Amsterdam 20%
C. Berlin 12%
D. Oslo 56%

AOL:
A. Vienna 38%
B. Amsterdam 25%
C. Berlin 13%
D. Oslo 24%

Even the audience remembers that Munch was Norwegian.

Meredith: Not great percentages here
Debbie: I was leaning towards Oslo, but since the percentages are mixed, give me the 50/50.

Deb, Deb, Deb! You were playing the game so well, and now you're panicking because a bunch of little kids answered a silly IM as an afterthought while searching for naked pics of Lindsay Lohan!


C. Berlin D. Oslo

Perhaps you have the risk-taking level of our mortgage broker friend a few months ago, and you'd like to call some one too? Well, do you?

$50,000- In October 2001, who was the one U.S. senator to vote against the Patriot Act?
A. Barbara Boxer B. Ted Kennedy
C. Russ Feingold D. Tom Harkin


PAF, Dan, a friend of her husband's, sure that the answer is Russ Feingold

This isn't like asking who the only representative was to vote against declaring war on Japan. Only C-Span nuts would know crap like this. Well, OK, I'm one of them.


She left her job as a lawyer to raise her son. She set a goal to leave here with at least $250,000.

Well, then maybe you should have thought about that when you threw your 50/50 in the same garbage can you threw your career in. That chef was uneployed too, and he was tickled to death to leave with $8,000. You set such a lofty goal as $250,000? Hot damn! It's about time someone demands more zeroes on their check!


$100,000 In 1992, what company became the first to refer to electronic organizers as "PDA's"?
A. Palm B. Apple
C. Sharp D. Hewlett-Packard

Well, given that my big, fat, fabulous brain is a virtual PDA in and of itself, I have had no need for one, and didn't even hear of such garbage until just a couple years ago.


$100,000 (STQ) - In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from what Spanish town on his first voyage to the New World?
A. Palos B. Cádiz
C. Málaga D. Tarifa

See, they don't teach you this in school. All you ever hear about is the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, and how Columbus had to get down on his knees and..... well, make Ferdinand and Isabella change their minds. Thsi is why I spent the summer between 4th and 5th grades studying every major event in world history in-depth.


"$50,000 is a lot of money, and I don't know, so I'm gonna take the money and run, and that is my final answer"

$50,000 is NOT a lot of money, honey. Especially for someone who set such lofty goals for herself. It sure ain't gonna hire someone to change your boy's diaper so you can wheel personal injury victims with neck braces into court again....

When is your next eye exam?

I will agree with "attractive", most beautiful is most assuredly in the eyes of the beholder. And no, I cannot give you my #1 nor any top 10 because I never think in those terms when I am watching a game show.

Hmm, may have to turn in your "man" card! Aren't we ALWAYS supposed to be thinking in those terms, even if subconciously, no matter what we are doing?

I know that women claim we do...

Wondered if I could ever see a woman starting a thread talking about a guy on J! who has to be the most handsome J! contestant ever.
