Merilee Bordin is still in the hotseat when we come back. Mike Bordin,
in the gang of 10, and was at least a study buddy for her, but the
nature of their relationship was cut by the post-game show.
She still has all her lifelines at this point.
For $16,000: Who developed his theory of falling bodies by dropping
objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
A) Copernicus B) Leonardo da Vinci
C) Johannes Kepler D) Galileo
She was expecting Newton, but, as you can see, that is not up
there. So, let's go to the audience. 14-23-16-47. She has studied
all these people, and is a former Physics Student of the Year.
She then decides to a phone a friend, in this case a friend of Mike,
his father. She finishes the options. He is 90% sure that is
was Galileo.
Regis: Why couldn't you think of that?
Merilee: Because I have no brain!
But she has a final answer. D)
.
.
.
It is the right one!
For $32,000: In Truman Capote's book "In Cold Blood", where do the
murders take place?
A) Texas ranch B) New Hampshire Lake cabin
C) Kansas farmhouse D) Missouri motel
She thinks she hasn't read it, but then seems to recall some of the
book.
A & C left.
"I knew they were going to that!" - Merilee
"These are hard questions." - Merilee
"You think we're giving money away here?" - Regis
"Well, you're not doing a very good job of that!" - Merilee
"I know my husband knows this answer" - Merilee
I guess that means her relationship to Mike is now confirmed. Mike
was an English major.
She isn't confident, but she doesn't want to walk.
A) Texas ranch. Final answer.
.
.
.
.
.
.
C) Kansas farmhouse. Right answer.
A peck on the cheek for Mike as she exits with her $1000.

first theatrical release, starting with the earliest.
A) Jurassic Park
B) All the Pretty Horses
C) Beloved
D) The Colour Purple
DACB is the order had by 4 of the 10. And the winner? English major
Mike Bordin with a time of 6.68. I'd think that would be a first
for any non-special edition of Millionaire anywhere.

either.
In the eyes of the producers, the phone game is probably less trouble,
because they can hire temps to call people every month, and the producers
can stay home and not worry about having to pick people.

There's an interesting new twist in the rules for the current phone-ins.
Not that it affects this set, but at the very end there are new rules for what
may happen for after February 1st. The kicker here is that as I don't
have a cell phone, I gave different numbers depending on whether the possible
call back would be on a work day or either a weekend /day I'd be working
at home. So if they call my home phone on a work day, or vice versa, I'd
just be out of luck.
New rule 8:
Future Player Pool: Game Sponsor reserves the right to conduct additional
random drawings from among players as described below ("Player Pool") to
qualify for Playoff Games for future episodes of the On-Air Program. All
players who correctly answered all three (3) questions, selected a Tape Date
and specific episode, if applicable, to qualify for and completed all other
requirements during the Round I telephone calls from August 25, 2000 through
February 1, 2001, and who did not become a Contestant on the Main Game
during episodes of the On-Air Program broadcast from October 3, 2000,
through May 31, 2001, are eligible at the discretion of the Game Sponsor for
random drawings to qualify to become a Semifinalist and participate in
Playoff Game(s) for future episodes of the On-Air Program. If the Game
Sponsor decides to use the "Player Pool" for future episodes of the On-Air
Program two hundred (200) players for each Tape Date and specific episode,
if applicable, will be selected in a random drawing from the Player
Pool. Players selected in a random drawing will receive an eligibility call
by a representative of the Contest to qualify them as Semifinalists to play
a Round II Semifinal Round Playoff Game. Eligibility calls will be made
daily during the hours of 12 noon to 3PM ET using the telephone number
entered by the player during the Round I telephone call that the player
wanted to be contacted as if selected in a random drawing. Representatives
of the On-Air Program will make two (2) attempts to reach each player
following same procedures as outlined previously for eligibility phone
calls. If a player is unavailable for the Tape Date and specific episode, if
applicable, that player will be put back into the Player Pool for possible
selection in another drawing for another Tape Date and specific episode, if
applicable. Players from the Player Pool will only be put into one (1)
drawing per Tape Date and specific episode, if applicable. Players from the
Player Pool may qualify only one (1) time for the same Tape Date and
specific episode, if applicable.

seeing similar types of random contestant selection procedures being
proposed; as far as I know, they never actually went through with any
of them. Seems to me that it's unlikely they'd use this system to
select the contestants for more than a handful of shows, as going
exclusively to this system would raise the same objection as the
contestant search did: it locks a whole bunch of viewers/potential
players out of becoming contestants on the show. And it's unlikely to
yield any better results for them in terms of contestant demographics.
It might save them a few bucks in terms of not having to run the 1st
Round phone playoffs, but the loss of viewers ticked off because they
wouldn't have a chance to get on the show would more than offset that.
Or so I think ....

I can help you with two of the first three, or at least partially, only
because I saw an interesting twist to them that I'm wondering if anyone else
noticed.
Keep in mind that in New England, and I'm guessing on most stations, WWTBAM
was preceded by an airing of the classic movie "Willie Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory."
My wording is not exact and in fact may not be even close.
For (I think) $2000: An 'oompa' band refers to which of the following types
of instruments?
A.) Strings
B.) Brass.
C.) Woodwind.
D.) Percussion.
Oompa. As in Loompa. Get the connection?
She thought about it for a while before guessing B.) Brass, which was
correct.
I, however would have been dead wrong. I distinctly recalling a song we used
to sing in school about the good-kin doctor living in Shangri-La, playing
his "oompa oompa big bass drum."
$4000: The Ghiradelli company based in San Francisco is known for making
what?
I'm afraid I can't remember the choices but you can bet your everlasting
gobstopper it's chocolate.
I found that to be rather cute, though (OT) since Nestle actually makes
Wonka bars now and other assorted treats bearing the names of those products
mentioned in the movie, why the hell they didn't capitalize with commercials
for them is beyond me. Then when I went to my 7-Eleven and looking for Wonka
bars, they had gobstoppers and Scrumdidliumptious and all that stuff but not
one damn regular Wonka bar. To raise a boy's hopes like that only to make
him go without...the savage! (/OT)

These were just some of the interesting contestants, upcoming episodes
are more typical of pre-audition episodes.
Not having made it into the Hot Seat, I do favor a return to the phone
qual. process.

Might as well while I'm at it.
Merilee Bordin, a food stylist from San Francisco, is playing. Her husband
Mike is in the Fastest Finger chairs. How come? Crowded seating? Nope.
They both auditioned at separate times, and the producers picked both of
them for consecutive tape dates. It was coincidence that she was the
rollover contestant.
All 3 lifelines are ready.
$2,000: What type of instruments give an "oompah" band its distinctive
sound?
A. Strings
B. Brass
C. Woodwinds
D. Percussion
. o O ( This episode was preceded by a broadcast of the movie "Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory". )
. o O ( It features characters called the "Oompah-Loompahs". )
Merilee was embarrassed for not knowing this, because her husband Mike is a
musician. But she eventually picks the correct answer, B. Brass.
$4,000: In Greek mythology, Pegasus is a winged what?
A. Horse
B. Sword
C. Serpent
D. Ship
She quickly says A. Horse. Right answer. Her giggles from last night begin
to disappear.
. o O ( A red Pegasus is used as the "mascot" of Mobil gasoline. )
$8,000: San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square is the longtime site of a factory
that produces which of the following?
A. Chocolate
B. Phonographs
C. Ships
D. Clocks
The giggles are back. Her home city of San Francisco won't let her come
back if she's wrong. A. Chocolate is the right answer.
. o O ( Another "Chocolate Factory" reference? )
