| C. Mussolini | D. Franco
| Jerry is not a big pastry fan, unfortunately, so he'll Ask the Audience. A. Lenin - 1% | B. Napoleon - 98% |  C. Mussolini - 1% | D. Franco - 0%
| Talk about your riot gear, 98%! Reege: "And I wanna know the one of you who voted for Mussolini!" Jerry, not wanting to face the wrath of 150 angry audience members, will take B... As his final answer. And the audience can stay in their seats, he's right! | ||||||||

| 9. Which of these bands is allegedly named after a dish made by the lead singer's great-grandmother? | | A. Pearl Jam | B. Nirvana
| C. Meat Loaf | D. Sugar Ray
| He knows it isn't B, and figures since C is one person and not a band, that doesn't match up with the question. The other two are fuzzy, though, so he'll use the 50:50. A. Pearl Jam | OUT |  OUT | D. Meat Loaf
| I don't care what Michael Davies says; I still think they listen to what answers the contestant eliminates. Jerry doesn't know a whole lot about Sugar Ray, and has at least read some things on Pearl Jam, so he'll go with A... And he'll turn it orange.

| 10. Because of her divorce from Prince Charles, what title was taken from Britain's Diana? | | A. Lady | B. Princess of Wales
| C. Her Royal Highness | D. Duchess of York
| Jerry believes that in everyone's hearts, she'll always be all of those.
Still, his knowledge on the royal family isn't that great, so he'll use his Phone-a-Friend and call Rosie. She's a talk show host in New York. Yes, that Rosie. The crowd cheers, and Reege remarks how she's wanted to be a Phone-a-Friend for months. Well, now's her chance. Here's the transcript of the call:
Rosie: "Yes?" Reege: "You are my posey..." Rosie: "Oh no, Regis." (crowd laughs) Reege: "Yes, it's me." Rosie: "I'm about to have a heart attack." Reege: "So many times you said, 'I know all the answers! I wanna be a Phone-a-Friend!'" Rosie: "How much money? How much money?" Reege: "Well, so we have an assistant principal here, Jerry, who has called your name. This is his last lifeline. He's going for $32,000. And we're all holding our breath Rosie, OK?" Rosie: "OK." (The spiel, question and choices are given) Rosie: "I'm gonna say Her Royal Highness." Jerry: "How- how sure are you about that?" Rosie: "I would say I'm 67%." (crowd laughs) Jerry: "67%." Rosie: "And if you lose it, the guilt, I'm gonna give you the money anyway. So go for it." (crowd cheers) Jerry: "How's that? Well, thank you!" Rosie: "Call me back and tell me if you got it." Jerry: "Thank you." Rosie: "OK. Bye." (Burp burp)  Well, you can't beat that! Although if he gets it right, he'll be able to continue un the game. Still with a guarantee like that, Jerry is going to go with C... And make it his final answer.
Well, he's getting $32,000.
Only question is, from Regis or from Rosie?
Well, I'll tell you...
He's getting his money from...
REGIS!

After the break, they call Rosie back and tell her the good news. Rosie: "You know, it's been worth saying it every night..." Reege jokes that Jerry will be coming over after the show. And do you know what he'll bring to celebrate? A Napoleon! |

Well, he had nothing to lose...
And he's given us one heck of a game...
So he shouldn't be too disappointed to find out that...
The answer was D. Iraq.
