Tim has only his Phone a Friend lifeline remaining.
$25,000 - Animals
A hogchoker is a variety of what animal?
A: Spider B: Fish
C: Wolf D: Snake
With 20 seconds left, Tim decides to use his Phone A Friend lifeline. Tim calls his "Frat Bro" PJ.
Tim carefully spells the word and gives the options in 11 seconds. His friend blurts "spider" hesitantly but then immediately says "I have no idea".
Tim says he's leaning toward A, but instead decides to walk away with $15,000.
B: Fish ()

Tim read the question as if he had a googler on the other end of the line, and this was certainly a slamdunk google question. If that's the case, either the Internet was down that day or his Frat Bro was asleep at the keyboard.

Yeah, I sure thought his PAF would be googling as Tim spelled it. It only takes that single word "hogchoker" to get unmistakable results. Google even displays some images of hogchokers above the text results!

My DVR fixed, I was able to watch this.

I thought there was a screen shot of Tim's lifelines and PAF wasn't among them?

I'd have thought it either a fish or a snake. Use the DD and make those my answers.

No, that screenshot with three lifeline icons was from the first tier, before he got his ATE.

Never heard of this animal, so let's go to the PAF.
