COMMERCIAL BREAK
Meredith leadingly mentions that, like most teachers, Chris gives not only his time and knowledge, but also opens his wallet for his kids for computer programs, books, art supplies and the like. Meredith then mentions that CVS is donating $1,000 to help defray those costs!

Chris elects to Double Dip.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Meredith mentions that during the break, Chris turned to her and sweetly said, "I HATE YOU!" (presumably for "messin' with him").
Chris wants to go back to school and get some advanced degrees, and put down some money on a piece of property.
Chris' lucky charm is his favorite piece of literature, a one-line poem he carries with him always, written by his favorite author, his girlfriend Alison, which he won't quote.
$100,000 (Big Words): What does an oniomaniac love to do?
A: Kiss B: Cook
C: Shop D: Dance
Chris uses his last lifeline, the PAF. Standing by are Patrick (Rego Park, NY), a fellow history teacher at his high school; his friend Edward (Whitestone, NY); and his brother-in-law, Patrick (Brooklyn, NY).
Chris calls his brother-in-law, Patrick. Chris: "Patrick: Oniomaniac, O-N-I-O-maniac...what does he love to do?" Despite the good use of his PAF, Patrick can't come up with an answer. Chris decides to go for it, and guesses
Chris leaves with $25,000.
