Bill's PAF team are his mom, B.J., Modesto, CA; his friend, Vicki, Glencoe, CA; and his buddy, Shawn, Modesto, CA. Bill calls Shawn. Meredith tells Shawn she loves his beard, which is long and white in his photo.
Shawn: That would have to be Willie Nelson.
Bill: Yeah, I though so, but, you know, Shawn, you're the expert on music. That's why I had to call you, brother!
Shawn: <laughs>

A: The History Channel B: USA
C: Lifetime D: TNT
Bill thinks it would be History, but TNT does classic movies, too. With 8 seconds left, he decides to Ask The Expert.
Ogi: Hmmm, that's a tough one. I don't think I know this one. Do you have any guess, at all?
Bill: You, I would think, ummm- I can cross out Lifetime, because it tends not to deal with that. USA doesn't seem likely. TNT shows a lot of older movies, but then the History Channel--the History Channel! The history of movies--
Ogi: I don't think it could be the History Channel. It just doesn't sound like something that would be on the History Channel and I agree about Lifetime. It's certainly not a Lifetime movie. I don't know.
Bill: What percentage do you think?
Ogi: Obviously, I don't know the answer, for sure. If it was me, I'd go with TNT--if it was me, I'd use Double Dip, TNT and USA, if I was in your shoes, but I'll leave it up to you.
Bill thinks for a few seconds, then selects, final answer.
Meredith: Ohhhh, Bill.
Bill smacks his hands together with a look of frustration.
Meredith: Bill! Yeah.
