what an epaulet is -- even though I've worn them -- but presumably the
audience would've gotten that one. Thomas was my guess for youngest
Supreme Court Justice, but I didn't know for sure and probably would
have phoned a friend as he did. The question about which animal hears
the highest frequencies seemed awfully easy for 125K; the only concern
there was that it might be a trick question, since it was at such a
high level. The Christo question may not have been easy. I happened
to have traveled through Berlin at the time the Reichstag was wrapped,
but I don't know whether that stunt (excuse me -- "art") received much
attention in the U.S.
Since ABC revealed that there was going to be a $500K winner ahead of
time, it created a strange new kind of interest in watching the show.
I assumed that the 500K winner would have to be the first hot seat
contestant, thinking there wouldn't be time otherwise. So with the
first contestant, instead of there being tension over whether she
would know the answers, for me the tension was "How in the *world* is
this woman going to reach 500K?" She didn't seem to be
super-knowledgeable -- expressing uncertainty about seemingly easy
questions -- and she burned up her lifelines fairly early. When she
had to use a lifeline on the Title IX question, my wife and I turned
to each other and said "No *way* she's making it to half a million."
Not that that twisted way of watching the show justifies ABC's
spoilers. I wish they would cut it out.
