PREVIOUSLY ON MILLIONAIRE:
We gave away $258,000 to three great contestants Sunday night. Some gutsy,
some conservative, all winners.
This time now, it's David Wright. How'll he do? It's next as we ask...
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
David Wright is studying clinical psychology. He's going to get his doctorate,
and his girlfriend is working on her masters' in psychology. According to
David's girlfriend, David's a funny guy!
Rundown: David has $4000 and is 8 questions away from the million.
$1000 is his guarantee right now. Next one is 3 away at $32,000.
Two LifeLines remain: 50/50 and PAF.
For $8000:
The Ouija board gets its name from the word "yes" in which two languages?
A. French and German
B. French and Italian
C. Italian and German
D. Italian and Russian
He knows what "yes" means in French. He thinks it's either A or B.
He's going to go with A - French and German. His mom was from Germany.
That's his final answer.
Oui. Ja. He has $8000!
For $16,000:
Which of these musicians was NOT a member of the rock band, The Eagles?
A. Don Henley B. Glenn Frey C. Joe Walsh D. Lindsey Buckingham

A. Vermont B. New Hampshire C. Massachusetts D. Pennsylvania
Hmm. Let's Phone a Friend. It's Kyle, a physician-in-training in Chicago.
They discuss and agree upon C - Massachusetts.
That's his final answer.
Too late to change it now.
And now...
he has...
THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!
For $64,000:
"Buffalo Bill" Cody was once a member of which organization?
A. Texas Rangers B. US Marshals C. Pony Express D. Pinkerton Detectives
Let's knock out two wrong answers:
A. Texas Rangers C. Pony Express
Let's see if he will zig correctly.
He will go with A - Texas Rangers.
Free shot!
There it goes...
Bounce...
...
THUD. No good. The correct answer is C - Pony Express.
He still has $32,000!
Nine contestants play our first FASTEST FINGER FIRST:
Place these nonfiction books in order of when they first became best-sellers,
MOST RECENT FIRST.
A. Moonwalk B. The Feminine Mystique
C. Mommie Dearest D. The Greatest Generation
Correct answer: D-A-C-B
2 of 9 right. Winner: Maureen Block, 6.65 seconds!
Maureen is from Rancho Cucumonga, CA. She went back to college after having
children, and has a degree in English now.

B - Rubbish.

For $2000: What year immediately followed 1 B.C.?
A. 0 B.C.
B. 0 A.D.
C. 2 B.C.
D. 1 A.D.
Hmmm. Interesting question. Let's ATA: 10-14-12-64
Hmmm.
She's still pondering.
Let's go with D - 1 A.D.
As you might know, A.D. is Latin for "In the year of our Lord." And
considering that 1 B.C. would be "one year before Christ", when Christ was
born, the next year was the first year of our Lord, or 1 A.D. So she's right!

remaining castaways merged into a new tribe called what?
A. Rattana B. Tagi C. Rays D. Pagong
We gotta Phone-a-Friend. It's Trish.
Trish does not know.
Regis: "They said everybody was watching. What happened?" (slight laughter)
Maureen: "I guess we found two people that aren't." (laughter and applause)
Let's hope the 50/50 gives her mercy:
A. Rattana B. Tagi
Let's go with B - Tagi.
Final answer.
And you know what?
I'm the only one in southeast Virginia that missed this question.
The correct answer is indeed...
A - Rattana.
She still has $1000!

they border, FEWEST first.

(D - 0, B - 1, C - 3, A - more than 3.)
3 of 8. Winner: Gary Jackson, 9.92 seconds!
Gary is a nurse at Georgetown Memorial Hospital in Pleasant Hill, NJ. He works
in the ER. He originally wanted to play football and be a coach. His first job
was in the hospital, and so it goes.

That's his final answer...
... gasp.
He's right!
For $8000:
What does "Las Vegas" mean in Spanish?
A. The meadows B. The views C. The sands D. The ceiling
Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert, so I guess it seems logical that the
answer would be C - The sands.
So that's his final answer.
I think he might have gotten the city confused with the hotel that once stood
in Las Vegas, which means "The Meadows" in Spanish.
He still has $1000!
Looks like they're tightening up the purse strings, or the questions are just
tough breaks. Who knows.
FFF: Place these civil rights leaders in order of their birth, EARLIEST first.
A. Booker T. Washington B. Sojourner Truth
