Sonya's playing to win enough to replace her old beat-up car, Jezebel. She's got $25,000, and her category tree is:

(Stage and Screen)
(Snack Time!)

Sonya still has her PAF and DD left.

$50,000 (The Artsy Crowd): What artist depicted his close friend's furniture in the 1888 painting "Paul Gaugin's Armchair"?
A. Vincent Van Gogh B. Claude Monet
C. Paul Cezanne D. Georges Seurat

Sonya chooses to PAF (34). Standing by are her friends Cathal (Ridgewood, NY), Peter (Westbury, NY) and Jim (Dover, DE). She chooses to call Jim.

PAF discussion

Sonya wastes a little time mispronouncing "Gaugin" and Jim immediately asks for the question again. By the time she's finished reading (and spelling) again, time runs out.

I've seen this painting in person; it was on display in Amsterdam when I was there a million years ago. I used the show as a clue in a Seven Clues game.

I could hear her PAF say "Van Gogh" just as he was cut off, but apparently Sonya and Meredith couldn't hear that? Meredith even said something about him not having an answer.

And, in previous seasons, this is where I'd talk about having the contestant practice the pronunciation of any difficult words before beginning the PAF call. But now that The Damned Clock keeps running...

I'm sure the car manufacturers will appreciate your purchase.

Our power was out so I didn't get to see the show even though I was home (the District Engineer actually closed the district office).

This shouldn't be too difficult a Google. Since I have all my lifelines I'll use the PAF.

I am intimately familiar with this painting. One time in my art class in my sophomore year of high school, we had an assignment of modernizing classic pieces of art and drawing them by using some medium besides paint. I chose to draw an updated version of "Paul Gauguin's Armchair" using artist's crayons.
