After the commercial, Reege decides to peer deeper into Bob's life. Turns out that by day, he's just a mild-mannered postal worker, but at night, he becomes a Karaoke king. So, like John Capolongo before him, Bob decides to serenade the audience with Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild." When I first saw this, my one thought was "I hope they don't do this every night." |

| That cements it. He'll say A... For his final answer. Nicely done, Bob! You're right! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Although I'd prefer to save the 50:50 for last, I think Bob did the right thing in using it here. This seemed like a question that could stump the audience if they weren't familiar with the armed forces. | ||||||||

Another commerical break, another interview. This time, Reege talks to Bob's wife, Connie, about how he can remember all this information. According to Connie, he can absorb a ton of information and spew it back on cue - but don't trust him with a grocery list. |
| 11. Which of these currently part of the United Kingdom but not part of Great Britain? | | A. Wales | B. Northern Ireland
| C. Scotland | D. Ireland
| Bob picks D... As his final answer.
Well, I thought it was D, too.
And believe it or not...
We both blew it. It was B. Northern Ireland.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS:This was one of the questions that seemed to confuse a lot of viewers. However, it makes sense. Northern Ireland is independent from Britain, while Ireland is a portion thereof. That's why there's been a constant battle between England and the IRA, to give Ireland its own sovereignty. I could see a lot of people tripping up on this one. | ||||
