| Correct Order (drag the mouse over the letters): D-B-A-C

| 9. Which of the following terms refers to a tree that loses its leaves every year? | | A. Coniferous | B. Indigenous

| Jason knows that A means a tree with cones, so that's not it. The others, though, are a blur, so he's going to Phone a Friend. And for the first time ever, the correspondent is a former WWTBAM contestant. Jason will call Rick Grimes, who won $64K back in November. Reege touches base with Rick, and then we get the following conversation:
Jason: "Are you sure on this?" Rick: "I'm positive." Jason: "Man, I owe you something, boy. I appreciate all your help." Rick: "No problem. Good luck." Jason: "Thank you." (Hang up with 8 seconds left)  Well, you gotta know your stuff to win $64,000 on this show, so Jason is going to take the advice and select C... Final answer? Yep. Jason had $8000...
And now he's got $16,000! | ||||||||||
After Regis announced the next ten names for the next day's show, he told us that Jason's aspirations are to be a game show host. So, he lets Jason do the contestant plug and the ticket address. Reege got a word in to tell everyone the time for the next show. This set a neat little precedent - for a while after that, players got to announce the next episode's time during Reege's closing spiel. Jason also brought 100-year-old grandmother Rose to the following show. |
| 10. How many justices serve on the United States Supreme Court? | | A. 7 | B. 9
| C. 10 | D. 12
| Jason mulls it over in his head. There's Suter, Thomas, O'Connor, Rehnquist... and 5 more. That makes nine. B is his final answer.
We'd just hate to see this guy go.
But he ain't leaving yet! He's just won $32,000!!

The folks at home are pulling for him.

Win ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!

Jason Block is certainly making the internet fanbase proud. He's still got two Lifelines in hand, and just three questions away from a million. Two players in January have already breached the $250,000 barrier; will Jason be the third? |
| 13. Who was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? | | A. Janis Joplin | B. Carole King
| C. Aretha Franklin | D. Diana Ross
| Jason knows it isn't B, who was only recently inducted. But he's not very sure after that. Jason: "Audience, help me out!" A. Janis Joplin - 44% | B. Carole King - 7% |  C. Aretha Franklin - 46% | D. Diana Ross - 3%
| Ick. Not very conclusive results. The audience poll hasn't helped Jason any, so he's going to use the 50:50. OUT | OUT |  C. Aretha Franklin | D. Diana Ross
| Interesting results, but not helpful enough for Jason. He now has one more speech for us. Jason: "Before I do this, because I am going to walk away - and that is my final decision to do - I want to thank everybody here, because you guys have just been so nice, because you guys have just treated everybody here with class."
The audience was right once again. The answer was C. Aretha Franklin. | ||||||||||||
Block has since made numerous appearances on the Rosie O'Donnell show (including as host of a segment called "Who's More Addicted to Millionaire?"), and was one of O'Donnell's guests during the celebrity week, along with the first millionaire John Carpenter. |
