Was with three-member team "El Chupacabra" that won $250K on the first season of "World Series of Pop Culture" one of her PAF's Mason was on the same team

I knew that she looked familiar.

$25K: No freakin' clue on this one. I'll try the Expert first. If he's not sure, then I'll PAF.

I'm going for $100K with two or three lifelines.

I'm just waiting for Shaun to read the answers so slowly that the person ends up missing the question because he or she doesn't have enough time to answer.

This seems like something Alexandra should know, being a movie/pop culture question and all.

$25K (In a Nutshell):

A. Jane Eyre B. Anna Karenina
C. Wuthering Heights D. Emma

A. Jane Eyre (:15)

Thank you Jasper Fforde! I learned a lot about Jane Eyre from reading The Eyre Affair.

Another pre-call for me. So I'd be going for $100K with all lifelines still available.

And, giving credit where credit is due, I thought that Alexandra's mention of her win on WSOPC would result in an early flame-out, she did well.

A bit surprised she did not know the 8K if she claims to be a pop culture afficionado. Heck, even I knew that one and pop culture is certainly not my strength. Although this is older "pop culture" at which I am (a little) better.

16K even less sympathetic than usual to geo nitwit-ism in someone who claims a trivial background. At least it appeared she had a decent ATE to go to that saved her rather than some pseudo celebrity there to hawk a book or a show.

[hanzz]

I'd be going for $100K with either 2 or 3 lifelines intact. Didn't know Jane Eyre, although summaries of important books would be one thing I would look over before going on the show. May have ATE on the Titanic quesiton, but I think I also might have talked myself into Brittanica, which was the only one that sounded right to me.
