Julie Bowen
Julie has two lifelines available - 50:50 and Phone-a-Friend. She's done well so far but she's sure that tough questions are coming, like what's the fourth moon of Saturn. Julie is extremely competitive - she and Jimmy had a foot race that Jimmy won. She is playing for Baby2Baby.
$250,000: In the 50 State Quarters Program, Abraham Lincoln's image appears on the quarters for Illinois and what other state?
A - Kentucky
B - Virginia
C - North Dakota
D - South Dakota
Julie says this is exactly what she was talking about. She says that Jimmy has no idea either, which Jimmy confirms. She says that her sister, her phone-a-friend, won't know this. Her gut says Virginia because DC, before it was DC, was part of Virginia. She opts to use her 50:50 lifeline.
She first says that that makes her feels good, then she rethinks it. She knows that Lincoln is on Mt. Rushmore, which is in South Dakota. Jimmy gives her the options. She wonders if it's fair to assume that there's logic in these questions. She suddenly realizes that Mt. Rushmore appears in the 50 state quarters, and Lincoln wouldn't appear as himself but as part of the four presidents' images.

Jimmy says that five celebrities have won $500,000.
$500,000: In Caracas, Venezuela, it is customary on the mornings leading up to Christmas for people to travel to church on what?
A - roller skates
B - water buffaloes
C - ostriches
D - ziplines
Julie wonders if they have ostriches in Venezuela, then says they have them everywhere. Her sister is more well-traveled - she's a infectious disease doctor working on COVID, running trials on remdesivir and enhanced plasma as a treatment. Her name is Annie Lutkemayer. Julie decides to call her. She's concerned about the quality of the phone call.
Julie said that she called Annie earlier and told her not to say anything unless she was sure of the answer. Annie spent a lot of time in South America, working at a women's clinic. If Julie is wrong, she's wrong with Annie and they can share the pain. There's no shame in winning $32.000. Julie says she has no idea, so it's trusting Annie or not. She decides to trust her.

$1,000,000: Which of the following is not the title of a country song released by Netflix phenomenon Joe Exotic, aka the "Tiger King"?
A - I Saw a Tiger
B - Big-Hearted Cat
C - Here Kitty Kitty
D - King of the Beast
Julie nods her head. She saw "Tiger King" four times, but she has no idea about the song. She thought that his voice was dubbed. She knows there was a song about killing Carole Baskin and there's a video about this. She's not willing to risk $500,000. Because of the pandemic she spent time knitting hats, including a Tiger King hat. But she never paid attention to the song titles. She's going to walk away.
