Owen is originally from England.

Uh-oh! It's often not a good sign when a contestant is revealed to have been born outside of the U.S.

* A Different Breed
* The Nobel Prize
* On the Books
* Give Me a Hug
* Founding Fathers
* The Euro
* Don Rickles
* Dame (?)
* Spirited Away
* American Teens
* Famous Siblings
* Reach for the Sky

* Kick Butt
* Hummingbirds

Looks like a pretty good stack for me. But Owen, on the other hand, could be in for an early exit. Disney, American Teens, and Don Rickles will more than likely force him to use lifelines.

So far so good for me.

I thought the same thing. Turning off the TV and kicking butt outside.

ATA: A: 3% B: 7% C: 4% D: 86%

Answer

D: Pluto ( 5 )

He's from England, so that may explain why he didn't know this, but surely since he has children he might be familiar with Disney characters.
