| C. Diane Arbus | D. Mary Cassatt
| Brent doesn't know this one right off the bat, and he's going to use the 50:50 before he blurts anything out. A. Grandma Moses | B. Georgia O'Keeffe |  OUT | OUT
| And yes, those were the ones he was thinking of. So rather than take any chances, he'll throw this one to the readily-waiting audience. A. Grandma Moses - 66% | B. Georgia O'Keeffe - 34% |  OUT | OUT
| The audience agrees with Brent's first instinct, so he'll go for it. Brent settles on A... And that's his final answer.
It took two lifelines...
But he's right! $16,000! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: If possible, try to use your Audience lifeline before the 50:50. If a large portion of the audience votes for one choice out of four, it translates into more certainty. When only two choices are left, a majority doesn't mean as much. | ||||||||||||

And he did have a little trouble...
But he got it!

But he should know they last...
26.2 miles!

| 12. What talk show host once worked as an aide on Robert F. Kennedy's presidential campaign? | | A. Jay Leno | B. Jerry Springer
| C. Maury Povich | D. Leeza Gibbons
| Reege reminds Brent of his remaining Lifeline. And Brent's gonna use it. He'll call John. Here's the transcript after all the formalities:
Brent: "Just... it's just a flat-out guess?" John: "Yes, a flat-out guess." Brent: "You don't have any thoughts on that one way or the other." John: "Nope." Brent: "I know Springer was in politics, but he was just a Cincinnati guy." "That he was." (Burp burp)  Reege reminds Brent of the money at stake. 125 grand if he's right, down to 32 grand if he's wrong. John's first instinct matched Brent's. Maury is the right age, and has the same political philosophy. He just has to decide if it's worth the gamble. He's gonna bite the bullet and pick C. Brent: "I came here with nothing, gonna leave here with no less than 32, so I might as well take the shot." C is his final answer.
Brent was right when he spoke with his correspondent.
Jerry Springer was indeed involved with politics.
And as it turns out...
He was the aide for Robert Kennedy. B. Jerry Springer was the answer.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS: A difficult question here. I, too, thought it could've been Maury, largely on the same logic that Brent used. I thought Springer was a little young to work in politics in 1968, but I guess we were both wrong. At least Brent's second trip garnered him a respectable amount of money. | ||||||||||
