Melissa Caminneci
Astoria, NY

At $10K with one lifeline, +1, remaining.

$20K :
Though the subject's face is largely obscured, which of the following is actually a self-portrait?

A: Magritte's The Son of Man B: Wood's American Gothic
C: Munch's The Scream D: da Vinci's Vitruvian Man
Spoiler
A: Magritte's The Son of Man
$30K :
If someone attending the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas left the city traveling SSW, which of these major cities would they arrive at?
A. Dallas B. San Antonio
C. El Paso D. Houston
+1
Melissa said she thinks Austin is near San Antonio but would later say she is leaning El Paso.
She calls up her boyfriend Eli who somewhat rules out Dallas, but when asked which one he thinks it is, he says he thinks Texas is too big and has too many cities.
Melissa decided to walk with $20K

San Antonio was the answer.

This is pretty tough - I'd try my 50:50 to see which two were left. I can eliminate Dallas and El Paso.
