Even though it's more than a 5:1 margin in the survey, it's not enough to convince Don. He'll use his last Lifeline and call his friend, Larry. After the formalities, here's what we get:
Larry: "That's a tough one, Don." Don: "I know." Larry: "Uh... My guess would be Florida State, but that's a guess." Don: "That's my guess, too, and that's the audience's. Uh... Thank you so much." Larry: "OK. Good Lu-" (Burp burp)
Despite both the audience and his correspondent agreeing with him, Don will not chance it. He's walking. Don Rohan resigns with $125,000. Everybody thought it was B... And everyone was right! B. Florida State was the answer.
