WWTBAM Bored

Kathleen Yuhanick

won a drawing from a grocery store for a trip to New York for the audience / audition taping but almost did not make it as the bus broke down and she just made it in time. On the way back after passing the test the whole bus applauded and gave her a WWTBAM hat. Her class started watching the show since her audition and has been talking about questions and answers all the time.

Commercial break

Mere mentioned during the break about the contestant knowing the answer but being too scared. Better to use a lifeline than answer and find out that you are wrong.

Argh! Wasting the ATA on an answer you know, when you're almost sure to need that ATA later.

<sigh>

Thirty seconds is a short time, take two.

Except that Kathleen didn't even give Topher a "five second" warning.

Given the big official spoiler for this week, I thought Kathleen might have been the contestant they were talking about. How quickly that belief was shattered.

This women made me angry, she wasted her Ask the Audience when she knew the answer.

She basiclly did this "Gaul is France, so therefore I shall ask the audience" WTF.

I knew the answers to all the questions until the 16,000 dollar question.

Back when that "Crazy" song was being nearly every second of the day on radio and television, I recall them giving the names of the duo.

Plus, County Duckula, Deputy Dawg, and Top Cat are just plain silly.

Danger Mouse seems pretty darn silly to me. They asked about a Gnarls Barkley song on the audition test this week. Luckily I had heard of the Patsy Cline and Aerosmith versions!

All four of the choices were silly. Hence, the laughing emoticon.

(Maybe I should find a more tongue-in-cheek one)

Would have been an easy stack for me, but the $16K Q is crying out for the ATA. I don't know if they would have known, but she sure should have kept the lifeline instead of burning it on a question she knew.

Here's a brief article about Kathleen's appearance.

At first I thought she had won a trip to the Hot Seat as a result of the drawing, but then I went back and listened again. From the response, I suspect that she was the only passer on the bus.

Time to ATA and hope they're up on their R&B or rap.

So is Topher Grace short for Christopher Grace?
