OK up to the last question. I would either ATA or Ask the Expert on this one. I thought it was hard -and maybe undervalued.
I'm just a game show nerd.

As often as I use mine, this was a no-brainer. So I'd be going for the $25K question with all lifelines intact.

Another lifeline sacrificed to the damned clock.

Ack! My US Airways Dividend Miles card is a Mastercard, but I only got that to keep my frequent flyer miles; I haven't used it enough to have remembered the first digit. With all my lifelines at this point, I might have gone down in flames using the Double Dip to guess C and D.

I'm embarrassed to say I have a MasterCard, and I thought it started with a 4. I think the Visa cards start with a 4.

That is correct. Visas start with 4. American Expresses start with 3. Discovers start with 6.

It looks like another case of the clock negatively affecting a contestant. 3 straight lifelines on 3 middle-range questions. He said he knew the Airplane answer. Then he could have PAF or ATE and said, "pull out your wallet and look at your credit cards." for the $25K question.

Anyone know how many seconds were left when she used ATE? Yesterday's episode got pre-empted in SoCal due to the fires.
Shameless self promotion:
