Financial Analyst
Regis asks John what he would do with the $25,000 he has won. John responds with an eclectic list that includes getting a new car ("I have a 1993 Saturn..."), going to Vegas, and doing a little gambling. With a million dollars, John would like to invest in a new house and go on an all-out trip to Europe.
Regis: "And what about your God-fearing mother who nagged you and nagged you to come here in the first place??" (audience cheers at this)

Total Meltdown
John is going for $50,000.
Two lifelines left - Double Dip, Phone-a-Friend
$50,000 - Before returning to the UK in July, controversial singer Amy Winehouse spent most of 2009 vacationing on what island nation?
A - St. Kitts and Nevis
B - Saint Lucia
C - Cyprus
D - Kiribati (Regis correctly pronounces this as "Kiri-bas")
John wishes he'd read People magazine more. He thinks he's heard it though. After a 16-second warning, John wishes to PAF, stopping the clock at 9 seconds.
John's PAF Team
Bob, Grand Haven, MI
Bernadette, Downers Grove, IL
John, Bay City, MI
Perusing his list of PAFs, Regis asks if Aunt Bernadette would know about Amy Winehouse, to which John replies with a firm, "No." John elects Bob over his dad, John.
PAF Results
John starts the question from the phrase "Amy Winehouse spent..." and gives all four choices (pronouncing, perhaps appropriately, Kiribati phonetically). John is done reading by the 17 second mark, at which point Bob asks for John to repeat the first word. Bob doesn't have an answer for John as time runs out.
DD Results
John's first answer, C - Cyprus, is incorrect. With 2 seconds left, John replies with A - St. Kitts and Nevis, which is also wrong.
Spoiler
B - Saint Lucia
Regis: "You know, we just heard from his aunt, she's good friends with Amy Winehouse!"
He's kidding.
