| C. Car | D. Girlfriend
| Jason picks B... Which is right! $100. LOOGAROO LAMENTS: By my recollection, Jack stole the Golden Goose, not bags of gold. But at least the other three answers were obviously wrong, so I'll let it pass. | ||||

| C. Rhoda | D. Roseanne
| Jason isn't too familiar with the theme songs to these shows, so he'll rely on the television-loving audience for help. A. Murphy Brown - 1% | B. Mary Tyler Moore - 95% |  C. Rhoda - 1% | D. Roseanne - 3%

| 6. What professional sport does Mia Hamm play? | | A. Basketball | B. Tennis
| C. Golf | D. Soccer
| Jason goes with D... For his final answer. Right again! $2000! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Fans of the show would've known this one immediately; Ginny Horvath was asked a similar question for $32K. (Hers asked to identify the Women's World Cup player who scored the winning goal in the finals, with Hamm as one of the choices.) | ||||
| 7. The juice from what plant is traditionally used to soothe dry skin and minor burns? | | A. Goldenseal | B. Aloe

| 10. By what name does blues legend B.B. King call his Gibson guitar? | | A. Mona | B. Thriller
| C. Lucille | D. Diddley
| Blues is not Jason's forte. So he'll burn the 50:50. OUT | OUT |  C. Lucille | D. Diddley
| Jason is gravitating towards C, but he wants to Phone a Friend. That friend will be his uncle, Gary. Here's the transcript after the spiel:
Jason: "Lucille. You're certain?" Gary: "Positive." Jason: "Positive." Gary: "Absolutely." Jason: "Tell me why." Gary: "Because I just know." Jason: (laughs) "I knew there was a reason I put you on that list."(Hang up with 9 seconds left)  Gary confirms Jason's instinct, so he'll settle on C... Which will be his final answer.
Well, if only Uncle Gary was a blues enthusiast...
He would have given Jason...
The same answer!

| 11. Whose image will be on the new U.S. one-dollar coin, scheduled to be released in 2000? | | A. Elizabeth Cady Stanton | B. Eleanor Roosevelt
| C. Martha Washington | D. Sockawoggy

Well, however it's pronounced...
It's the right answer!

| 12. 'Death, be not proud' is the opening of a sonnet by which of the following poets? | | A. John Donne | B. Robert Frost
| C. William Butler Yeats | D. Francis Bacon
| Jason has no clue. He's not going to risk $32K on a guess, so he's withdrawing.
The answer was A. John Donne. LOOGAROO LAMENTS: I knew that one right off the bat. Donne is also responsible for the phrase "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee" and "No man is an island," in case you're asked either one of those on the Hot Seat. Incidentally, had I have been in the chair, I'd have cruised through the first twelve without touching a Lifeline. | ||||
