Quickies

Since it would be completely suicidal to attempt synopses of all the games that were played in a particular month, this section is here to show you how each contestant from each month did, along with some general stats (Number of contestants, total money awarded, etc.) If a contestant left with $0, $1000, or $32,000, the question they missed will also be listed.

  • March 2000 Quickies
