New York audience. Why don't we ask them?" 39-6-14-41. Did his
reference to New York push votes to A? Since that isn't a very
confident poll, Phone-a-friend Phil will have to try to help him
up. He believes it is Law & Order, but is only 50-60 percent sure.
With a slight preference from both sources, he goes with D) Law &
Order.

the 50/50.
The top two audience answers are removed.

12 questions, she stops at $125,000.
Her guess would have been A). And that would have
been right.
No *****AH-WOOOO*****, but we are out of time. So,
Wednesday's episode will open with a Fastest
